According to Mencius·Duke Hui of Liang (I), during the Warring States Period, Mencius told Duke Hui of Liang a story by way of analogy, saying that two soldiers were defeated at the battlefront and retreated, one by 50 paces and the other 100 paces. The one who retreated 50 paces laughed at the other who retreated 100 paces, saying that the latter was no good. As a matter of fact, Mencius concluded, they both retreated, the mere difference being only the distance.〈比喻 fig.〉自己跟别人有同样的缺点或错误，只是程度上轻一些，却讥笑别人 the pot calls the kettle black; one who has the same shortcomings or mistakes as another, but to a lesser degree, laughs at the other五十步笑百步1. one who retreats fifty paces mocks one who retreats a hundred; the pot calls the kettle black五十步笑百步one who retreats fifty paces mocks one who retreats a hundred—the pot calls the kettle black |
