君子A superior man is ashamed to prepare (beforehand) all that he may require in discharging his mourning rites.
What can be made in one or two days,
君子 he does not prepare (beforehand).
The mourning worn for the son of a brother should be the same as for one's own son:
the object being to bring him still nearer to one's self.
An elder brother's wife and his younger brother do not wear mourning for each other:
the object being to maintain the distance between them.
Slight mourning is worn for an aunt, and an elder or younger sister, (when they have been married);
the reason being that there are those who received them from us, and will render to them the full measure of observance.
When (the Master) was eating by the side of one who had mourning rites in hand,
he never ate to the full.
