| 2 | 梁惠王上: | 孟子见梁惠王，王立于沼上，顾鸿雁麋鹿，曰：“贤者亦乐此乎？” |
| Liang Hui Wang I: | Mencius, another day, saw King Hui of Liang. The king went and stood with him by a pond, and, looking round at the large geese and deer, said, 'Do wise and good princes also find pleasure in these things?' | |
| 孟子对曰：“贤者而后乐此，不贤者虽有此，不乐也。《诗》云：‘经始灵台，经之营之，庶民攻之，不日成之。经始勿亟，庶民子来。王在灵囿，麀鹿攸伏，麀鹿濯濯，白鸟鹤鹤。王在灵沼，于牣鱼跃。’文王以民力为台为沼。而民欢乐之，谓其台曰灵台，谓其沼曰灵沼，乐其有麋鹿鱼鼈。古之人与民偕乐，故能乐也。《汤誓》曰：‘时日害丧？予及女偕亡。’民欲与之偕亡，虽有台池鸟兽，岂能独乐哉？” | ||
| Mencius replied, 'Being wise and good, they have pleasure in these things. If they are not wise and good, though they have these things, they do not find pleasure. It is said in the Book of Poetry, "He measured out and commenced his marvellous tower; He measured it out and planned it. The people addressed themselves to it, And in less than a day completed it. When he measured and began it, he said to them - Be not so earnest: But the multitudes came as if they had been his children. The king was in his marvellous park; The does reposed about, The does so sleek and fat: And the white birds came glistening. The king was by his marvellous pond; How full was it of fishes leaping about!" King Wen used the strength of the people to make his tower and his pond, and yet the people rejoiced to do the work, calling the tower "the marvellous tower," calling the pond "the marvellous pond," and rejoicing that he had his large deer, his fishes, and turtles. The ancients caused the people to have pleasure as well as themselves, and therefore they could enjoy it. In the Declaration of Tang it is said, "O sun, when wilt thou expire? We will die together with thee." The people wished for Jie's death, though they should die with him. Although he had towers, ponds, birds, and animals, how could he have pleasure alone?' |

| 5 | 楚语上: | 灵王为章华之台，与伍举升焉，曰：“台美夫！”对曰：“臣闻国君服宠以为美，安民以为乐，听德以为聪，致远以为明。不闻其以土木之崇高、彤镂为美，而以金石匏竹之昌大、嚣庶为乐；不闻其以观大、视侈、淫色以为明，而以察清浊为聪。 |
| “先君庄王为刨居之台，高不过望国氛，大不过容宴豆，木不妨守备，用不烦官府，民不废时务，官不易朝常。问谁宴焉，则宋公、郑伯；问谁相礼，则华元、驷騑；问谁赞事，则陈侯、蔡侯、许南、顿子，其大夫侍之。先君以是除乱克敌，而无恶于诸侯。今君为此台也，国民罢焉，财用尽焉，年谷败焉，百官烦焉，举国留之，数年乃成。愿得诸侯与始升焉，诸侯皆距无有至者。而后使太宰启疆请于鲁侯，惧之以蜀之役，而仅得以来。使富都那竖赞焉，而使长鬣之士相焉，臣不知其美也。 | ||
| “夫美也者，上下、内外、小大、远近皆无害焉，故曰美。若于目观则美，缩于财用则匮，是聚民利以自封而瘠民也，胡美之为？夫君国者，将民之与处；民实瘠矣，君安得肥？且夫私欲弘侈，则德义鲜少；德义不行，则迩子骚离而远者距违。天子之贵也，唯其以公侯为官正，而以伯子南为师旅。其有美名也，唯其施令德于远近，而小大安之也。若敛民利以成其私欲，使民蒿焉忘其安乐，而有远心，其为恶也甚矣，安用目观？ | ||
| “故先王之为台榭也，榭不过讲军实，台不过望氛祥。故榭度于大卒之居，台度于临观之高。其所不夺穑地，其为不匮财用，其事不烦官业，其日不废时务。瘠硗之地，于是乎为之；城守之木，于是乎用之；官僚之暇，于是乎临之；四时之隙，于是乎成之。故《周诗》曰：‘经始灵台，经之营之。庶民攻之，不日成之。经始勿亟，庶民子来。王在灵囿，麀鹿攸伏。’夫为台榭，将以教民利也，不知其以匮之也。若君谓此台美而为之正，楚其殆矣！” |
