       宋朝时有个很有学问的人,名叫贾黄中,他五岁起跟父亲读书,十五岁就考中进士,当了官。贾黄中为官正直。有一年闹灾荒,他用自家的米做饭,救活了几千人。还有一次他发现仓库内藏有几十箱金银宝贝,他马上上报了朝廷。皇帝十分高兴,夸奖他忠诚,还赞扬她母亲教子有方。

There was a knowledgeable person named Jia Huangzhong. He began to study with his father when he was five. He passed all three examinations held by the government when he was 15 and became an official. Jiang Huangzhong was an upright official. In one year people suffered from a famine. He let people cook with his own rice and saved thousands of people. Once he found dozens of cases full of treasure. He reported to the government immediately. The emperor was very pleased, praised him for his loyalty and praised his mother for raising such a good son.


         但是,贾黄中办事过分认真、遇到大事往往不能当机立断。后来他被派到外地任职。在向皇帝辞行时,皇帝告诫他说:"不论是做君的还是做臣的都应该做事小心谨慎,但是如果做得太过分了,就失去了大臣的身份和威严。"

However, Jia Huangzhong was too cautious, and could not make a prompt decision when facing major events. Later he was sent to be an official in another city.
