原文：
北冥有鱼，其名为鲲。鲲之大，不知其几千里也；化而为鸟，其名为鹏。鹏之背，不知其几千里也；怒而飞，其翼若垂天之云。
翻译：
In the Northern Darkness there is a fish, whose name is Kun. The Kun is so huge that its size is unknown. When it transforms into a bird, named Peng, the back of the Peng is so vast that it spans thousands of miles. When it flaps its wings and takes flight, they resemble clouds hanging in the sky.
这段文字通过鲲与鹏的形象，表达了庄子对于自由与无限可能性的追求。鲲象征着未知的潜能，而鹏则代表着突破束缚后的广阔天地。这种对自由精神的歌颂至今仍激励着人们去追寻自我价值和社会中的更大空间。
