《淮南子·说山训》
毁坏池塘来捕取龟鳖，掀掉房顶来捕捉狸猫，掘开内室来捕捉老鼠，割开嘴唇来治疗牙齿，不论是桀跖这样的凶暴者、还是谦谦君子都不会做这种蠢事的。
坏塘以取龟，同屋而求狸，掘室而求鼠，割唇而治龋：桀、跖之徒，君子不与。
It is a foolish thing that not even a cruel tyrant or a perfect gentleman would do: draining a pond to catch turtles, ripping off a roof to catch a raccoon, digging open an inner chamber to catch a rat, or cutting open the lips to treat the teeth.
