子罕言利，與命，與仁。 |

The subjects of which the Master seldom spoke were: profitableness, and also the appointments of Heaven, and perfect virtue.| 《·》 |

| 孔子以四教：文，行，忠，信。絕四：毋意，毋必，毋固，毋我。所慎：齊，戰，疾。子罕言利與命與仁。不憤不啟，舉一隅不以三隅反，則弗復也。 |

達巷黨人曰：「大哉孔子！博學而無所成名。」子聞之，謂門弟子曰：「吾何執？執御乎？執射乎？吾執御矣。」 |
| Zi Han: |
A man of the village of Da Xiang said, "Great indeed is the philosopher Kong! His learning is extensive, and yet he does not render his name famous by any particular thing." The Master heard the observation, and said to his disciples, "What shall I practice? Shall I practice charioteering, or shall I practice archery? I will practice charioteering."| 《·》 |

| 子貢曰：「夫子之文章，可得聞也。夫子言天道與性命，弗可得聞也已。」顏淵喟然嘆曰：「仰之彌高，鑽之彌堅。瞻之在前，忽焉在後。夫子循循然善誘人，博我以文，約我以禮，欲罷不能。既竭我才，如有所立，卓爾。雖欲從之，蔑由也已。」達巷黨人［童子］曰：「大哉孔子，博學而無所成名。」子聞之曰：「我何執？執御乎？執射乎？我執御矣。」牢曰：「子云『不試，故藝』。」 |

There were four things from which the Master was entirely free. He had no foregone conclusions, no arbitrary predeterminations, no obstinacy, and no egoism.| 《·》 |

子畏於匡。曰：「文王既沒，文不在茲乎？天之將喪斯文也，後死者不得與於斯文也；天之未喪斯文也，匡人其如予何？」 |
| Zi Han: |
The Master was put in fear in Kuang. He said, "After the death of King Wen, was not the cause of truth lodged here in me? If Heaven had wished to let this cause of truth perish, then I, a future mortal, should not have got such a relation to that cause. While Heaven does not let the cause of truth perish, what can the people of Kuang do to me?"| 《·》 |

| 將適陳，過匡，顏刻為僕，以其策指之曰：「昔吾入此，由彼缺也。」匡人聞之，以為魯之陽虎。陽虎嘗暴匡人，匡人於是遂止孔子。孔子狀類陽虎，拘焉五日，顏淵後，子曰：「吾以汝為死矣。」顏淵曰：「子在，回何敢死！」匡人拘孔子益急，弟子懼。孔子曰：「文王既沒，文不在茲乎？天之將喪斯文也，後死者不得與于斯文也。天之未喪斯文也，匡人其如予何！」孔子使從者為甯武子臣於衛，然後得去。 |

| 魯哀公十四年春，狩大野。叔孫氏車子鉏商獲獸，以為不祥。仲尼視之，曰：「麟也。」取之。曰：「河不出圖，雒不出書，吾已矣夫！」顏淵死，孔子曰：「天喪予！」及西狩見麟，曰：「吾道窮矣！」喟然嘆曰：「莫知我夫！」子貢曰：「何為莫知子？」子曰：「不怨天，不尤人，下學而上達，知我者其天乎！」 |

顏淵喟然歎曰：「仰之彌高，鑽之彌堅；瞻之在前，忽焉在後。夫子循循然善誘人，博我以文，約我以禮。欲罷不能，既竭吾才，如有所立卓爾。雖欲從之，末由也已。」 |

Yan Yuan, in admiration of the Master's doctrines, sighed and said, "I looked up to them, and they seemed to become more high; I tried to penetrate them, and they seemed to become more firm; I looked at them before me, and suddenly they seemed to be behind. The Master, by orderly method, skillfully leads men on. He enlarged my mind with learning, and taught me the restraints of propriety. When I wish to give over the study of his doctrines, I cannot do so, and having exerted all my ability, there seems something to stand right up before me; but though I wish to follow and lay hold of it, I really find no way to do so."| 《·》 |

子曰：「吾自衛反魯，然後樂正，雅頌各得其所。」 |

The Master said, "I returned from Wei to Lu, and then the music was reformed, and the pieces in the Royal songs and Praise songs all found their proper places."| 《·》 |

| 太史公曰：余讀功令，至於廣厲學官之路，未嘗不廢書而嘆也。曰：嗟乎！夫周室衰而關雎作，幽厲微而禮樂壞，諸侯恣行，政由彊國。故孔子閔王路廢而邪道興，於是論次詩書，修起禮樂。適齊聞韶，三月不知肉味。自衛返魯，然後樂正，雅頌各得其所。世以混濁莫能用，是以仲尼干七十餘君無所遇，曰「茍有用我者，期月而已矣」。西狩獲麟，曰「吾道窮矣」。故因史記作春秋，以當王法，其辭微而指博，後世學者多錄焉。 |

| 去即過蒲。月餘，反乎衛，主蘧伯玉家。靈公夫人有南子者，使人謂孔子曰：「四方之君子不辱欲與寡君為兄弟者，必見寡小君。寡小君願見。」孔子辭謝，不得已而見之。夫人在絺帷中。孔子入門，北面稽首。夫人自帷中再拜，環珮玉聲璆然。孔子曰：「吾鄉為弗見，見之禮答焉。」子路不說。孔子矢之曰：「予所不者，天厭之！天厭之！」居衛月餘，靈公與夫人同車，宦者雍渠參乘，出，使孔子為次乘，招搖市過之。孔子曰：「吾未見好德如好色者也。」於是醜之，去衛，過曹。是歲，魯定公卒。 |

子曰：「衣敝縕袍，與衣狐貉者立，而不恥者，其由也與？『不忮不求，何用不臧？』」子路終身誦之。子曰：「是道也，何足以臧？」 |

The Master said, "Dressed himself in a tattered robe quilted with hemp, yet standing by the side of men dressed in furs, and not ashamed - ah! it is You who is equal to this! He dislikes none, he covets nothing - what can he do but what is good!" Zi Lu kept continually repeating these words of the ode, when the Master said, "Those things are by no means sufficient to constitute perfect excellence."| 《·》 |

| 孔子曰：「片言可以折獄者，其由也與！」「由也好勇過我，無所取材。」「若由也，不得其死然。」「衣敝縕袍，與衣狐貉者立，而不恥者，其由也與！」「由也升堂矣，未入於室也。」 |
