王文度、范荣期俱为简文所要,范年大而位小,王年小而位大,将前,更相推在前,既移久,王遂在范后.王因谓曰：簸之扬之,穅粃在前.范曰：洮之汰之,沙砾在后.

Answer 1

中文注译:
　　王文度、范荣期都受到简文帝的邀请,范荣期年龄大而官位低,王文度年龄小而官位高.正要向前走的时候,两人相互推让,让来让去,王文度最后落在范荣期的后面.王文度于是对范荣期说：“顺风播扬谷物,糠秕总是飘在前面.”范荣期说：“用水淘汰杂质,沙砾总是落在后面.”
据老师教课说此文是世说新语（排调）四十六＜糠秕砂砾＞,两人是礼让,让来让去,不是出口不逊,只是互相取笑; 我倒觉得一楼的说法较合理!政治从来都是「相互争推,争来争去」
