《愚公移山》
【原文】
太行王屋二山，方七百里，高萬仞。本在冀州之南，河陽之北。
北山愚公者，年且九十，面山而居。懲山北之塞，出入之迂也。聚室而謀曰：“吾與汝畢力平險，指通豫南，達于漢陰，可乎？”雜然相許其妻獻疑曰：“以君之力，曾不能損魁父之丘，如太行、王屋何？且焉置土石？”雜曰：“投諸渤海之尾，隱士之北。”遂率子孫荷，擔者三夫，叩石墾壤，箕畚運于渤海之尾。鄰人京城氏之孀妻有遺男，始齔，跳往助之。寒暑易節，始一返焉。
河曲智叟笑而止之曰：“甚矣，汝之不惠。以殘年余力，曾不能毀山之一毛，其如土石何？”北山愚公長息曰：“汝心之固，固不可徹，曾不若孀妻弱子。雖我之死，有子存焉；子又生孫，孫又生子；子又有子，子又有孫；子子孫孫無窮匱也，而山不加增，何苦而不平？”河曲智叟亡以應。
操蛇之神聞之，懼其不已也，告之于帝。帝感其誠，命夸娥氏二子負二山，一厝朔東，一厝雍南。自此，冀之南，漢之陰，無隴斷焉。

【譯文】
太行、王屋（這）兩座山，（占地）方圓七百里，高七八萬尺，本來在冀州的南邊，黃河北岸的北邊。
北山一位叫愚公的人，年紀將近九十歲，面對著山居住。（他）苦于大山北面堵塞交 通，出來進去（都要）繞路，就集合全家來商量說：“我跟你們盡全力鏟除險峻的大山，（使道路）一直通向豫州的南部，在漢水南岸到達，可以嗎？”（大家）紛紛表示贊成。他的妻子提出疑問說：“憑借您的力量，連魁父這座小山都不能鏟平，又能把太行、王屋這兩座山怎么樣呢？況且把土石放到哪里去呢？”眾人紛紛說：“把它扔到渤海的邊上去，隱土的北面。”于是（愚公）率領（能）挑擔子的三個人（上了山），鑿石開墾土地，用箕畚裝了（土石）運到渤海的邊上，鄰居姓京城的寡婦 有個孤兒，才剛剛換牙，也跳跳蹦蹦前去幫助他們。冬夏換季，（他）才往返一次。
河灣上的一位聰明的老者譏笑愚公并制止他（干這件事），說：“你太不聰明了！就憑你衰殘的年齡和剩下的力量，連山上的一棵草都不能毀掉，又能把泥土、石頭怎么樣呢？”北山愚公長嘆說：“你思想頑固，頑固到了不可改變的地步，連孤兒寡婦 都比不上。即使我死了，我有兒子在；兒子又生孫子，孫子又生兒子；兒子又有兒子，兒子又有孫子；子子孫孫沒有窮盡，然而山卻不會增加高度，何愁挖不平？”河灣上的智老頭沒有話來回答。
手里拿著蛇的山神聽說了這件事，怕他不停地干下去，將這件事告訴了天帝。天帝被他的誠心所感動，命令大力神夸娥氏的兩個兒子背負著兩座山，一座放在朔東，一座放在雍南。從此，冀州的南部，（到）漢水南岸，沒有山岡阻隔了。
