儒家 -> 孟子 -> 万章上 -> 9.2

孟子曰：Mencius said,
“否，'No;
不然。it was not so.
好事者为之也。This story was invented by men fond of strange things.
百里奚，虞人也。Bai Li Xi was a man of Yu.
晋人以垂棘之璧与屈产之乘，The people of Jin, by the inducement of a round piece of jade from Chui Ji, and four horses of the Qu breed,
假道于虞以伐虢。borrowed a passage through Yu to attack Guo.
宫之奇谏，On that occasion, Gong Zhi Qi remonstrated against granting their request,
百里奚不谏。and Bai Li Xi did not remonstrate.
知虞公之不可谏而去，When he knew that the duke of Yu was not to be remonstrated with, and, leaving that State,
之秦，went to Qin,
年已七十矣，he had reached the age of seventy.
曾不知以食牛干秦穆公之为污也，If by that time he did not know that it would be a mean thing to seek an introduction to the duke Mu of Qin by feeding oxen,
可谓智乎？could he be called wise?
不可谏而不谏，But not remonstrating where it was of no use to remonstrate,
可谓不智乎？could he be said not to be wise?
知虞公之将亡而先去之，Knowing that the duke of Yu would be ruined, and leaving him before that event,
不可谓不智也。he cannot be said not to have been wise.
时举于秦，Being then advanced in Qin,
知穆公之可与有行也而相之，he knew that the duke Mu was one with whom he would enjoy a field for action, and became minister to him;
可谓不智乎？could he, acting thus, be said not to be wise?
相秦而显其君于天下，Having become chief minister of Qin, he made his prince distinguished throughout the kingdom,
可传于后世，and worthy of being handed down to future ages;
不贤而能之乎？could he have done this, if he had not been a man of talents and virtue?
自鬻以成其君，As to selling himself in order to accomplish all the aims of his prince,
乡党自好者不为，even a villager who had a regard for himself would not do such a thing;
而谓贤者为之乎？”and shall we say that a man of talents and virtue did it?'
