于是,伯父家盖房,想以它垒山墙,但苦于它极不规则,没棱角儿,亦没平面儿;用錾破开吧,又懒得花那样大气力,由于河滩并不甚远,随便去掮一起回来,哪一起亦比它强。
译文
Thus my uncle had wanted to use it for the gable when he was building a house, but he was troubled to find it of very irregular shape, with no edges nor corners, nor a flat plane on it. And he wouldn’t bother to break it in half with a chisel because the river bank was nearby, where he could have easily fetched a much better stone instead.
