「吾聞用夏變夷者，	'I have heard of men using the doctrines of our great land to change barbarians,
未聞變於夷者也。	but I have never yet heard of any being changed by barbarians.
陳良，楚產也。	Chen Liang was a native of Chu.
悅周公、仲尼之道，	Pleased with the doctrines of Zhou Gong and Zhong Ni,
北學於中國。	he came northwards to the Middle Kingdom and studied them.
北方之學者，	Among the scholars of the northern regions,
未能或之先也。	there was perhaps no one who excelled him.
彼所謂豪傑之士也。	He was what you call a scholar of high and distinguished qualities.
子之兄弟事之數十年，	You and your brother followed him some tens of years,
師死而遂倍之。	and when your master died, you forthwith turned away from him.
昔者孔子沒，	Formerly, when Confucius died,
三年之外，	after three vears had elapsed,
門人治任將歸，	his disciples collected their baggage, and prepared to return to their several homes.
入揖於子貢，	But on entering to take their leave of Zi Gong,
相向而哭，	as they looked towards one another, they wailed,
皆失聲，	till they all lost their voices.
然後歸。	After this they returned to their homes,
子貢反，	but Zi Gong went back,
築室於場，	and built a house for himself on the altar-ground,
獨居三年，	where he lived alone other three years,
然後歸。	before he returned home.
他日，	On another occasion,
子夏、子張、子游以有若似聖人，	Zi Xia, Zi Zhang, and Zi You, thinking that You Ruo resembled the sage,
欲以所事孔子事之，	wished to render to him the same observances which they had rendered to Confucius.
彊曾子。	They tried to force the disciple Zeng to join with them,
曾子曰：	but he said,
『不可。	"This may not be done.
江漢以濯之，	What has been washed in the waters of the Jiang and Han,
秋陽以暴之，	and bleached in the autumn sun
皜皜乎不可尚已。』	- how glistening is it! Nothing can be added to it."
今也南蠻鴃舌之人，	Now here is this shrike-tongued barbarian of the south,
非先王之道，	whose doctrines are not those of the ancient kings.
子倍子之師而學之，	You turn away from your master and become his disciple.
亦異於曾子矣。	Your conduct is different indeed from that of the philosopher Zeng.
吾聞出於幽谷遷于喬木者，	I have heard of birds leaving dark valleys to remove to lofty trees,
末聞下喬木而入於幽谷者。	but I have not heard of their descending from lofty trees to enter into dark valleys.
《魯頌》曰：	In the Praise-songs of Lu it is said,
『戎狄是膺，	"He smote the barbarians of the west and the north,
荊舒是懲。』	He punished Jing and Shu."
周公方且膺之，	Thus Zhou Gong would be sure to smite them,
子是之學，	and you become their disciple again;
亦為不善變矣。」	it appears that your change is not good.'
