| 《·》: | 有孙休者，踵门而诧子扁庆子曰：“休居乡不见谓不修，临难不见谓不勇，然而田原不遇岁，事君不遇世，宾于乡里，逐于州部，则胡罪乎天哉？” | | There was a Sun Xiu who went to the door of Zi-bian Qing-zi, and said to him in a strange perturbed way, 'When I lived in my village, no one took notice of me, but all said that I did not cultivate (my fields); in a time of trouble and attack, no one took notice of me, but all said that I had no courage. But that I did not cultivate my fields, was really because I never met with a good year; and that I did not do service for our ruler, was because I did not meet with the suitable opportunity to do so. I have been sent about my business by the villagers, and am driven away by the registrars of the district - what is my crime? 0 Heaven!' |
