紀渻子為王養鬥雞。Ji Xing-zi was rearing a fighting-cock for the king.
十日而問：「雞已乎？」 Being asked after ten days if the bird were ready,
曰： he said,
「未也。 'Not yet;
方虛憍而恃氣。」he is still vain and quarrelsome, and relies on his own vigour.'
十日又問。 Being asked the same after other ten days,
曰： he said,
「未也。 'Not yet;
猶應嚮景。」 he still responds to the crow and the appearance of another bird.'
十日又問。 After ten days more,
曰： he replied,
「未也。 'Not yet.
猶疾視而盛氣。」He still looks angrily, and is full of spirit.'
十日又問。 When a fourth ten days had passed,
曰： he replied to the question,
「幾矣。 'Nearly so.
雞雖有鳴者， Though another cock crows,
已無變矣， it makes no change in him.
望之似木雞矣，To look at him, you would say he was a cock of wood.
其德全矣， His quality is complete.
異雞無敢應者， No other cock will dare to meet him,
反走矣。」 but will run from him.'
