许由

许由连整个天下都不要，而这个人却怕许由偷他的帽子，真是不理解许由的品德啊！

Xu You even declined the crown while the man was afraid that he might steal his hat . Certainly the man did not know Xu You 's character .

意而子听许由这么说，顿时觉得尴尬而不知所措。

Hearing what Xu You said , he suddenly felt embarrassed and at a loss .

难道如许由者，他们会舍弃道，而就那些世人推崇的仁、孝吗？

Could those people , such as Xu You , desert Tao to accept the benevolence and filial piety that are canonized by the common people ?

尧要将帝王之位让给善卷、许由，他们却辞而不受，也是从自己修养的立场考量，怕这些俗事，打扰他们沉稳，安宁，祥和的心境。

They considered it in the standpoint of his culture and they were afraid that worldly affairs would disturb their mind of soundness , tranquility and peace .

联系整部《庄子》，可以看出在书中尧并不是作为仁德之君来刻画，许由的形象也不仅是“圣人无名”的注解。

Reviewing the whole book Chuang Tzu , we can see Yao is not regarded as a kind emperor , and the character Xuyou is not only an explanation of " Saint is nameless " .

他从来没有想过忠孝仁爱信义等根深柢固的教条，在许由眼里居然是一种负担，一种妨碍自由的绊脚石。

He never thought that in Xu You 's eyes , the deep-rooted creeds , such as loyalty , filial piety , benevolence , love , credit , righteousness are a kind of burden , and a stumbling stone to the freedom .

陶渊明、张翰、范蠢、巢父、许由这些历史人物，仇远用来表示归隐之思。在对历史人物和事件的描述上有一定的创新和发挥。

Historical figures such as Tao Yuanming , Zhang Han , Fan Li , Chao Fu and Xu You were included to embody his intension of retiring from political life . Moreover , it is desired to be original in the portrayal of historical figures and events .
