翻译:
战国时期,燕国寿陵地方有一位少年。这位寿陵少年不愁吃不愁穿,论长相也算得上中等人材,可他就是缺乏自信心,经常无缘无故地感到事事不如人,低人一等——衣服是人家的好,饭菜是人家的香,站相坐相也是人家高雅。他见什么学什么,学一样丢一样,虽然花样翻新,却始终不能做好一件事,不知道自己该是什么模样。
家里的人劝他改一改这个毛病,他以为是家里人管得太多。亲戚、邻居们,说他是狗熊掰棒子,他也根本听不进去。日久天长他竟怀疑自己该不该这样走路,越看越觉得自己走路的姿势太笨,太丑了。
有一天,他在路上碰到几个人说说笑笑,只听得有人说邯郸人走路姿势那叫美。他一听对上了心病,急忙走上前去,想打听个明白。不料想那几个人看见他,一阵大笑之后扬长而去。
邯郸人走路的姿势究竟怎样美呢?于是有一天,他瞒着家人,跑到遥远的邯郸学走路去了。
一到邯郸,他感到处处新鲜,简直令人眼花缭乱。看到小孩走路,他觉得活泼、美,学;看见老人走路,他觉得稳重,学;看到妇女走路,摇摆多姿,学。就这样不过半月光景,他连走路也不会了,路费也花光了,只好爬着回去了。
