秦國攻陷楚國的郢都後,屈原在汨羅江旁悲憤地對螢火蟲說,“舉世皆濁我獨清,衆人皆醉我獨醒,是以見放。”;螢火蟲不同意地說,“你真的清醒嗎?”
屈原又悲憤地對螢火蟲說,“吾聞之,新沐者必彈冠,新浴者必振衣;安能以身之察察,受物之汶汶者乎?寧赴湘流,葬於江魚之腹中。安能以皓皓之白,而蒙世俗之塵埃乎!”
螢火蟲出了意見,“《聖經》說,‘I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.’(Revelation 3:18),你買了火煉的金子、潔淨的白衣與可以讓你睜開眼睛的藥了嗎?”
