若干年后齐宣王过世,他的儿子齐愍王继承了王位。这位齐愍王和他爹一样也喜欢听人吹奏竽,不同的是,他喜欢听独奏。有天,他颁布了道命令,要求隔天让那三百位乐师逐一吹竽给他听。乐师们听闻命令都相当开心,大家都想要在君王面前大展身手,只有那位滥竽充数的南郭先生觉得非常心虚,十分焦虑。心想:”这可是欺君之罪,要杀头的啊!我还不得赶紧溜之大吉?”于是连忙收拾行李,有多远逃多远了。
Some years later, the King passed away and his son, the King Min, inherited the throne. The King was similar to his dad in that he also loved listening to the yu. The difference was that he preferred solo performances. One day, he enacted an order, asking the 300 musicians to play the yu for him one by one. The musicians were quite happy to hear this order since they all wanted to show their talent in front of the King. However, Nan Guo, who has been pretending to play the yu, felt very guilty and anxious about this order. He thought “This is a crime of deceiving the King, people are decapitated over this! I must escape right this moment!” So he urgently packed his luggage and fled as far as he could.
后来有位南郭先生听说了这事,心里琢磨着,觉得这可是个捞钱的大好机会,于是他千方百计地混进了那支乐队。虽然他根本不会吹竽,但每回乐队演奏,他都跟着装模作样,手指这么按一按,头那么摇一摇,不时地流露出沉醉的表情,看着还真像是一位专业的乐师。反正没吹出声,也不会出错被发现。

As long as he doesn’t play out any sounds, no one would know if there was a mistake anyway.
