Student 1 : Sanghoon Na
Do not be like the man of Song. Among the people of the state of Song there was a man, who was concerned about his undergrown sprouts {%%that his sprouts are not growing%%}, pulled them up. Totally clueless[1], he returned home, and said to his family, "Today I am worn out. I helped the sprouts to grow {%%grow%%}." His son hurried and went to see it. The sprouts were withered {%%withered%%}. Those in the world who do not help the sprouts to grow {%%grow%%} are few. Those who consider it [浩然之氣] {00Though this is in the context of ‘boundless and surging qi 浩然之氣, we may not assume that 之 in this sentence was intended to mean 浩然之氣 specifically. Mencius might have meant any endeavor of pursuing.00} useless and abandon it are like those who do not weed their sprouts. Those who help it[浩然之氣] to grow are like those who pull up the sprouts. Not only is it useless, but also it harms it[浩然之氣].
Student 2 : Younès M'Ghari
Do not be like the people of Song. There was someone among the people of Song who was concerned about his sprouts not growing and who used to pull on it {%%[thus] pulled them up%%}; he returned home tired out {%%without a clue%%}, called his kins and told them {%%told his family/kins%%}: “Today I’m exhausted. I helped my sprout to grow {%%grow%%}.” His son ran in a hurry to see that; it {%%the sprouts%%} had dried. Those who do not help sprouts grow in this world are few now. Those who consider that something is useless and give up are not those who weed sprouts; those who help it grow are those who pull out sprouts. It is not just useless, but also damaging it.
Student 3 : Petra Sváková
Do not be like the man from the state of Song. [Among] the people of the state of Song there was a man who was concerned about his sprouts not growing and he pulled them up. [Then] he hurried back home and said to his family: "I am tired today [because] I helped the sprouts grow." His son [heard that and] rushed to see them [but by then] the sprouts withered. In the world, those who do not help the sprouts grow are few now. Those who think that [they can] not help and abandon them, are those who do not grow the sprouts. [However] those who [try to] help them grow, are those who pull the sprouts up. Not only that it is useless but it also harms them [even more].
Student 4 : (Write your name)
Don't be a {%%like the%%} person of Song like so {%%Song%%}:
There was a man of Song, worried about the not growing of his sprouts, pulled them up, and hurriedly returned home.
"Got tired today, I helped the sprouts grow," [he] told his family.
His son ran and went to see them, [but] already [the sprouts] had withered.
In the world the ones who do not help the sprouts grow are [become] few {%%are few now / have become few%%}.
Those that believe [something is] without advantage and leave it [alone] are not the ones who till sprouts; those that help them grow are the ones who pull them up. [It's] not just without advantage, but also harms them.

無若宋人然。
Do not be like the people from the state of Song.
宋人有閔其苗之不長而揠之者;
Among the people of Song there was a man who was worried about his sprouts not growing and he pulled them up.
芒芒然歸,謂其人曰:
And hurriedly he returned home, and said:
『今日病矣,予助苗長矣。』
"I am tired today because I helped the sprouts grow."
其子趨而往視之,苗則槁矣。
His son ran and went to see them, but the sprouts had already withered.
天下之不助苗長者寡矣。
In this world, those who do not help the sprouts grow are few now.
以為無益而舍之者,不耘苗者也。
Some who consider it without benefit, and let it alone - they are not the ones who till sprouts
助之長者,揠苗者也。非徒無益,而又害之。
Those who help them grow are those who pull out the sprouts. They do not just without benefit, but moreover harm it.
Student 9 : HeeJin Lee
Do not be like [this] person [of/from] Song: Among the Song people, there was one who [was] concerned that his sprouts were not growing and pulled them, [after which he] returned home. [He] said to his people [(his family)]: Today I am tired, I helped the sprouts grow. His son ran after and went to see them, [and] the sprouts were dried up now. Under Heaven, the ones/those who do not help sprouts grow are few. Those who consider nothing to be gained and throw them [(the sprouts)] away. [They] do not raise sprouts, those who help them grow are those who pull out the sprouts. [They do] not just [do without[ benefit, but moreover harm it.
