Of course, this doesn't mean that people shouldn't speak but that they shouldn't engage in idle chatter, blabbing on and on like a frog or mosquito with nothing to say. People should learn from the cock, and only open their mouths when necessary.
當然，並非要人家不說話，而是切忌喋喋不休，像青蛙、蚊子那樣聒噪，廢話連篇，而是要效法雞鳴，有必要的時候才開口。
