儒家 -> 孟子 -> 公孫丑上 -> 7

孟子曰：Mencius said,
「矢人豈不仁於函人哉？ 'Is the arrow-maker less benevolent than the maker of armour of defence?
矢人唯恐不傷人，And yet, the arrow-maker's only fear is lest men should not be hurt,
函人唯恐傷人。 and the armour-maker's only fear is lest men should be hurt.
巫匠亦然， So it is with the priest and the coffin-maker.
故術不可不慎也。The choice of a profession, therefore, is a thing in which great caution is required.
孔子曰： Confucius said,
『里仁為美。 "It is virtuous manners which constitute the excellence of a neighbourhood.
擇不處仁，If a man, in selecting a residence, do not fix on one where such prevail,
焉得智？』 how can he be wise?"
夫仁，天之尊爵也，Now, benevolence is the most honourable dignity conferred by Heaven,
人之安宅也。 and the quiet home in which man should awell.
莫之禦而不仁，Since no one can hinder us from being so, if yet we are not benevolent
是不智也。 - this is being not wise.
不仁、不智、無禮、無義， From the want of benevolence and the want of wisdom will ensue the entire absence of propriety and righteousness;
人役也。-- he who is in such a case must be the servant of other men.
人役而恥為役， To be the servant of men and yet ashamed of such servitude,
由弓人而恥為弓， is like a bowmaker's being ashamed to make bows,
矢人而恥為矢也。 or an arrow-maker's being ashamed to make arrows.
如恥之， If he be ashamed of his case,
莫如為仁。 his best course is to practise benevolence.
仁者如射， The man who would be benevolent is like the archer.
射者正己而後發。 The archer adjusts himself and then shoots.
發而不中， If he misses,
不怨勝己者， he does not murmur against those who surpass himself.
反求諸己而已矣。」 He simply turns round and seeks the cause of his failure in himself.'
