《太平广记·卷十七·神仙十七》
让只腐烂的死鼠引起我的兴趣呢？我像鱼一样在江里游，你像鸟一样在天上飞，各有各的乐趣，你何必向我炫耀你那些浮名微利呢？
吾沉子浮，鱼鸟各适，何必矜炫也？
where a rotted rat arouses my interest? I swim in the river like a fish, and you fly through the sky like a bird. Each of us has our own joys. Why must you flaunt your petty fame and insignificant advantages before me?
