卖柑者言【原文】
　　杭有卖果者，善藏柑，涉寒暑不溃。出之烨然，玉质而金色。置于市，贾十倍，人争鬻之。予贸得其一，剖之，如有烟扑口鼻，视其中，干若败絮。予怪而问之曰：“若所市于人者，将以实笾豆，奉祭祀，供宾客乎？将炫外以惑愚瞽也？甚矣哉为欺也。”
　　卖者笑曰：“吾业是有年矣，吾赖是以食吾躯。吾售之，人取之，未尝有言，而独不足子所乎？世之为欺者不寡矣，而独我也乎？吾子未之思也。今夫佩虎符、坐皋比者，洸洸乎干城之具也，果能授孙吴之略耶？峨大冠、拖长绅者，昂昂乎庙堂之器也，果能建伊皋之业耶？盗起而不知御，民困而不知救，吏奸而不知禁，法斁而不知理，坐糜廪粟而不知耻。观其坐高堂，骑大马，醉醇醴而饫肥鲜者，孰不巍巍乎可畏，赫赫乎可象也？又何往而不金玉其外，败絮其中也哉！今子是之不察，而以察吾柑！”
　　予默默无以应。退而思其言，类东方生滑稽之流。岂其愤世疾邪者耶？而托于柑以讽耶？
卖柑者言【译文】
　　杭州有个卖水果的人，很会贮藏柑子，经历一年也不腐烂。拿出它来，依然光泽鲜亮，玉石般的质地，黄金似的颜色。放到市场上，售价高出十倍，人们争相购买。我买了一个，把它剖开，像有股烟尘扑向口鼻，看它的里面，干枯得像破棉絮一样。我感到奇怪，问他说：“你出售给别人的柑子，是准备用它装在盛祭品的容器中，供奉神灵、招待宾客呢？还是要夸耀它的外表来迷惑傻瓜和瞎子呢？干这骗人的勾当，太过分了啊！”
　　卖柑子的人笑着说：“我从事这种职业，已有好多年了。我靠它养活自己。我卖它，别人买它，还没听见有说什么的，却唯独不能满足您的需要吗？世上干骗人勾当的人不少，难道就我一个吗？您是没有想过这个问题啊。当今那些佩带兵符、坐虎皮椅子的人，一副威风凛凛的样子，好像是捍卫国家的人才，他们真的能够传授孙武、吴起的韬略吗？那些高高地戴着官帽，腰上拖着长长带子的人，一副神气活现的样子，好像是朝廷的重臣，他们真的能够建立伊尹、皋陶的功业吗？盗贼兴起却不知道抵挡，百姓贫困却不知道解救，官吏狡诈却不知道禁止，法度败坏却不知道整顿，白白地耗费国家仓库里的粮食却不知道羞耻。看看那些坐在高敞的厅堂上，骑着高头大马，喝足了美酒，吃饱了鱼肉的人，哪一个不是庞然大物、令人生畏，哪一个不是威严显赫、可供效法呢？可是无论到哪里，又何尝不是外表象金玉、内里像破絮呢？现在您对这些不去分析明辨，却来查究我的柑子！”
　　我沉默着，无言答对。回来再想想他的话，觉得他好像是东方朔一类人物，难道他是对世事表示愤慨，对邪恶表示憎恨的人吗？他是假借柑子来进行讽刺吗？
