Hi Beth, I can help you understand '子非鱼，安知鱼之乐？子非我，安知我不知鱼之乐？' with a context. Younger sister: Hey bro, I need you co-sign this lease for me. Please~ Older brother: Em, no. Younger sister: Are you still mad with me for selling your furniture? Dude, that was a long time ago. Older brother: No, I just think you're not responsible enough for this. And it's three months ago. Not that long to me. Younger sister: I've changed a lot. I'm responsible now. PLEASE... Older brother: Nope. You are not ready for this kind of responsibilities now. Younger sister: That's so unfair! You're not me, how do you know if I've not grown to be responsible.? (子非鱼，安知鱼之乐？) Older brother: Well, you're not me, how do you know I can't tell whether you're responsible? (子非我，安知我不知鱼之乐？) 庄子 and 惠子 are like these two brother and sister and they are just fighting. You can say they're like children.

Pardon Allen? You have not put any punctuation in your comment. This is making it almost impossible for me to follow and understand you.Sorry, but punctuation is vital when writing English. Without it, we can not understand you.

庄子里面的文字其实每个字都不难 问题是在组合起来后他的意境不容易体会 means the invisible border you need comprehend by yourself you cannot find too complex chinese in 庄子 this bible most people first time reading the scripture can hardly grasp its genuine meaning or hardly recognize its unspoken works in sentences try to image a world like everything merged in all illusion everything happened to you is nothing but your brain act like a brain in a jar (professor hopkinson's theory) they advocate people don't need do too much over they regard people are easy to overdo to get the thing smooth just follow the natural rhythm as it waves you will live happily and forever ,not to be tortured easily
