焦生，章丘石紅先生之叔弟也。讀書園中。宵分，有二美人來，顏色雙絕。一可十七八，一約十四五，撫幾展笑。焦知其狐，正色拒之。長者曰：「君髯如戟，何無丈夫氣？」焦曰：「僕生平不敢二色。」女笑曰：「迂哉，子尚守腐局耶？下元鬼神，凡事皆以黑為白，況床笫間瑣事乎？」焦又咄之。女知不可動，乃云：「君名下士，妾有一聯，請為屬對，能對我自去。戊戌同體，腹中止欠一點。」焦凝思不就。女笑曰：「名士固如此乎？我代對之可矣：己巳連蹤，足下何不雙挑？」一笑而去。
焦生是章丘石紅先生的堂弟，在園子裡讀書。半夜，來了兩個美人，容貌都極美，一個大約十七八歲，一個大約十四五歲，扶著他的書桌微笑。焦生知道她們是狐狸，板起臉拒絕她們。年長的女子說：「你的鬍鬚像戟一樣，怎麼沒有大丈夫的氣概？」焦生說：「我這輩子不敢親近妻子以外的女人。」女子笑道：「真迂腐啊！你還守著那些陳腐的規矩嗎？如今這世道，鬼神做什麼事都把黑說成白，何況床上這點小事？」焦生又喝斥她。女子知道他不會動心，便說：「你是個有名的讀書人，我有個上聯，請你對出下聯。對得出來，我就自己走。戊和戌同一個樣，肚子裡只少一點。」焦生苦苦思索，卻對不出來。女子笑道：「有名的讀書人就是這樣嗎？讓我替你對吧：己和巳前後相連，您為什麼不把兩個都挑上？」說完笑著走了。

Jiao was a younger cousin of Mr. Shihong of Zhangqiu. He studied in a garden. Around midnight two beautiful women came to him, each as lovely as the other. One looked seventeen or eighteen, the other fourteen or fifteen. They leaned on his desk and smiled. Jiao knew they were foxes, and with a stern face he sent them off. The elder said, “Your beard bristles like halberds. Why are you so unmanly?” “All my life I have never dared touch any woman but my wife,” said Jiao. The girl laughed. “What a pedant! Are you still keeping to those musty rules? Down in the lower world the ghosts and gods call black white in everything, let alone a little matter of the bed.” Jiao rebuked her again. Seeing that she could not move him, she said, “You are a scholar of name. I have the first line of a couplet. Please match it. If you can, I will go of my own accord. ‘Wu and xu share one body; in the belly just one dot is wanting.’” Jiao thought hard but could not find a match. The girl laughed. “So this is what a famous scholar is like? Then I will match it myself: ‘Ji and si go foot to foot; why don’t you, sir, hook up with both?’” And laughing, they were gone.
