| 曰：“有。 | The answer was, 'Yes. |
| 北宫黝之养勇也， | Bei Gong You had this way of nourishing his valour: |
| 不肤挠， | He did not flinch from any strokes at his body. |
| 不目逃， | He did not turn his eyes aside from any thrusts at them. |
| 思以一豪挫于人， | He considered that the slightest push from any one |
| 若挞之于市朝。 | was the same as if he were beaten before the crowds in the market-place, |
| 不受于褐宽博， | and that what he would not receive from a common man in his loose large garments of hair, |
| 亦不受于万乘之君。 | neither should he receive from a prince of ten thousand chariots. |
| 视刺万乘之君，若刺褐夫。 | He viewed stabbing a prince of ten thousand chariots just as stabbing a fellow dressed in cloth of hair. |
| 无严诸侯。 | He feared not any of all the princes. |
| 恶声至，必反之。 | A bad word addressed to him be always returned. |
| 孟施舍之所养勇也，曰：‘视不胜犹胜也。 | Meng Shi She had this way of nourishing his valour: He said, "I look upon not conquering and conquering in the same way. |
| 量敌而后进，虑胜而后会，是畏三军者也。 | To measure the enemy and then advance; to calculate the chances of victory and then engage - this is to stand in awe of the opposing force. |
| 舍岂能为必胜哉？ | How can I make certain of conquering? |
| 能无惧而已矣。’ | I can only rise superior to all fear." |
| 孟施舍似曾子， | Meng Shi She resembled the philosopher Zeng. |
| 北宫黝似子夏。 | Bei Gong You resembled Zi Xia. |
| 夫二子之勇，未知其孰贤，然而孟施舍守约也。 | I do not know to the valour of which of the two the superiority should be ascribed, but yet Meng Shi She attended to what was of the greater importance. |
| 昔者曾子谓子襄曰：‘子好勇乎？ | Formerly, the philosopher Zeng said to Zi Xiang, "Do you love valour? |
| 吾尝闻大勇于夫子矣： | I heard an account of great valour from the Master. It speaks thus: |
| 自反而不缩， | 'If, on self-examination, I find that I am not upright, |
| 虽褐宽博，吾不惴焉； | shall I not be in fear even of a poor man in his loose garments of hair-cloth? |
| 自反而缩， | If, on self-examination, I find that I am upright, |
| 虽千万人，吾往矣。’ | I will go forward against thousands and tens of thousands.' |
| 孟施舍之守气， | Yet, what Meng Shi She maintained, being merely his physical energy, |
| 又不如曾子之守约也。” | was after all inferior to what the philosopher Zeng maintained, which was indeed of the most importance.' |
