【原文】
游腾谓楚王曰‘昔智伯欲伐旮由，遗之大钟，载以广车，因随人以 兵。旮由卒亡，无备故也。桓公伐蔡也，号言伐楚，其实袭蔡。今秦者， 虎狼之国也，兼有吞周之意，使樗里疾以车百乘人周，周君惧焉。以蔡、 旮由戒之，故使长兵在前，强弩在后，名曰卫疾，而实W之也。周君岂能无爱国哉？恐一日之亡国而忧大王。”楚王乃悦。
【今译】
游腾对楚怀王说当初智伯打算攻打奋由国的时候，送给奋由一 口大钟，用非常宽的车子栽着，让军队尾随着车子入侵，奋由最终灭亡 了，因为它没有准备。齐桓公攻打蔡国的时候，表面上说是进攻楚国， 其实却是入侵蔡国。如今，秦国是虎拫般贪婪的国家，怀有呑并西周的 野心。它派遣樗里疾率领一百辆车进入西周境内，西周国君恐惧，将蔡 国和公由的教训引以为戒，所以才在前面布置了手持戈矛的士兵，安排 强健的弓弩手在后面，名义上是保卫樗里疾，而实际上是将他囚禁起 来，西周国君难道不热爱自己的国家吗？他是怕有一天亡了国，而让大王您担忧呢?楚怀王这才高兴起来，
You Teng told King Huai? “Previously，when Count Zhi was going to attack the state of Qiu You, he sent Qiu You a huge bell and the bell was carried to Qiu You by an extremely wide cart ? with the troops of the count following. The troops of the count attacked Qiu You and occupied it. The state of Qiu You was defeated because its sovereign was not prepared for the war at all. When Duke Huan of the state of Qi planned to attack the state of Cai，he pretended to attack the state of Chu,but in fact he launched a war against Cai, As for the state of Qin, it is as covetous and rapacious as wolf and tiger. It has schemed to occupy West Zhou for a long time. Now it sent Chu Liji to lead one hundred chariots to West Zhou. The sovereign of West Zhou is worried about this. He learns from the lessons of Cai and Qiu You, so he has sent his troops to go in advance of Chu Liji and also arranged for marksmen to follow and keep highly alert. Ostensibly they’ve been sent there to ensure the safety of Chu, but in fact they are there to besiege him. Doesn’t the sovereign of West Zhou love his state? He is afraid that he might lose his state some day and accordingly cause problems to Your Majesty. The king of Chu was satisified after hearing these words.
