- (literary) crisscross footpaths between fields
一群朋友郊游，我領頭在狹窄的阡陌上走，怎料迎面來了幾頭耕牛，狹道容不下人和牛，終有一方要讓路。 [MSC, trad.]
一群朋友郊游，我领头在狭窄的阡陌上走，怎料迎面来了几头耕牛，狭道容不下人和牛，终有一方要让路。 [MSC, simp.]- From: 小思 (Xiaosi), 中國的牛 (Chinese Cattle)
- Yī qún péngyou jiāoyóu, wǒ lǐngtóu zài xiázhǎi de qiānmò shàng zǒu, zěnliào yíngmiàn láile jǐ tóu gēngniú, xiádào róngbùxià rén hé niú, zhōng yǒu yīfāng yào rànglù.
- A group of friends went for an outing and I was leading them through the narrow crisscrossing footpaths between fields. No one would have expected that there would be several oxen in our path and that the path wasn't big enough for both man and ox: in the end, one side would be forced to make way for the other.
