laugh out of the other side of your mouth

樂極生悲

Chun Yukun lived in the state of Qi during the Warring States Period. He was wise, humorous and eloquent. He skillfully advised the king on many occasions and successfully went to many states as an envoy. In the year 349 BC, the State of Chu dispatched a large force to attack Qi.

The king of Qi sent Chun Yukun to the state of Zhao (趙國) to ask for help, with a lot of valuable gifts. The king of Zhao accepted the gifts gladly and sent a hundred thousand troops to help Qi. The king of Chu withdrew his army that very night as soon as he got the news. The king of Qi was released and pleased with Chun Yukun. He set a banquet for celebration.

During the meal, the king asked Chun Yukun, “How much wine can you drink before you’re drunk, Sir?” Knowing the king had a bad habit of drinking all night, Chun Yukun decided to take this chance to admonish the king. So he replied, “I get drunk when I drink ten litres or hundred.” Puzzled, the king asked, “Since you are drunk after ten litres, how can you finish another ninty litres?”

Chun Yukun then explained that he could drink different amounts of wine under different conditions. He said, “This occurs to me that when you drink to your limit, you get so drunk that you lose your sense; once joy reaches its height, then it’s sorrow’s turn. This is the rule for everything. Whatever you do, you are bound to end up in the opposite direction when you exceed the limits.”

戰(zhàn)國時(shí)期，齊國有個(gè)叫淳于髡的人。他幽默機(jī)智，能說會(huì)道，給齊威王出過許多好主意，并且成功出使了許多其他的國家。公元349年，楚國派出大批軍隊(duì)攻打齊國。

齊王派淳于髡去趙國尋求幫助，于是他帶著許多貴重的禮品去了趙國。趙王見了禮物十分高興，派了十萬士兵去援助齊國。那天晚上，楚王得到這消息，馬上撤回了自己的軍隊(duì)。齊威王松了一口氣，十分滿意淳于髡的表現(xiàn)，并決定設(shè)宴為他慶功。

在宴會(huì)上，齊威王問淳于髡：“先生你喝多少酒會(huì)醉?”知道國王有個(gè)整夜喝酒的壞習(xí)慣，淳于髡想要借此機(jī)會(huì)告誡國王，所以他幽默地回答說：“我有時(shí)喝十升酒就會(huì)醉，有時(shí)喝一百升酒才會(huì)醉。”齊威王聽了很奇怪。他問：“你喝十升已經(jīng)醉了，怎么還能喝另外的九十升呢?”

淳于髡就說他不同條件下能喝不同量的酒。他說：“當(dāng)你喝到你的極限，你會(huì)喝得那么醉，你失去了你的感覺;一旦快樂到達(dá)了它的高度，那么它就是悲傷的轉(zhuǎn)變。這是對(duì)一切的規(guī)則。無論你做什么，當(dāng)你超過極限的時(shí)候，你必然會(huì)朝相反的方向發(fā)展。”
