fēi ㄈㄟ (5): 詆毀，譏議。 Slander, condemn.
| 《·》: | 意若聞見善，不以告其上，聞見不善，亦不以告其上，上之所是不能是，上之所非不能非，己有善不能傍薦之，上有過不能規諫之，下比而非其上者，上得則誅罰之，萬民聞則非毀之 | | "On the other hand, if upon discovering good you should not report it and upon discovering evil you should not report it; if you should not think to be right what the superior thinks to be right, and wrong what the superior thinks to be wrong; if there should be no recommendation when there is virtue among the people and no good counsel when the superior is at fault; and if you should unite with the subordinates but differ from the superior - you deserve heavy punishment from your superiors and condemnation from the people." | | 《·》: | 人不得，則非其上矣。 | | And if people generally are not able to enjoy themselves, they condemn their superiors. | | 《·》: | 事處上，則民遠而非其上。 | | Scholars who are out of office are held in esteem, so that people become estranged and criticize their superiors. | | 《·》: | 人有三必窮：為上則不能愛下，為下則好非其上，是人之一必窮也。 | | 《·》: | 有不由命，然後俟之以刑，刑一人而天下服，下不非其上，知罪在己也。 |
