士成绮见老子而问曰：Shi-cheng Qi, having an interview with Laozi, asked him, saying,
“吾闻夫子圣人也，'I heard, Master, that you were a sage,
吾固不辞远道而来，愿见，and I came here, wishing to see you, without grudging the length of the journey.
百舍重趼而不敢息。During the stages of the hundred days, the soles of my feet became quite callous, but I did not dare to stop and rest.
今吾观子，非圣人也。Now I perceive that you are not a sage.
鼠壤有馀蔬， Because there was some rice left about the holes of the rats,
而弃妹之者， you sent away your younger sister,
不仁也； which was unkind;
生熟不尽于前，when your food, whether raw or cooked, remains before you not all consumed,
而积敛无崖。” you keep on hoarding it up to any extent.'
老子漠然不应。Laozi looked indifferent, and gave him no answer.
士成绮明日复见，Next day Qi again saw Laozi,
曰： and said,
“昔者吾有刺于子， 'Yesterday I taunted you;
今吾心正却矣， but to-day I have gone back to a better mood of mind.
何故也？” What is the cause (of the change)?'
老子曰：“夫巧知神圣之人，吾自以为脱焉。Laozi replied, 'I consider that I have freed myself from the trammels of claiming to be artfully knowing, spirit-like, and sage.
昔者子呼我牛也而谓之牛，呼我马也而谓之马。Yesterday if you had called me an ox, you might have done so; or if you had called me a horse, you might have done so.
苟有其实，人与之名而弗受，再受其殃。If there be a reality (corresponding to men's ideas), and men give it a name, which another will not receive, he will in the sequel suffer the more.
吾服也恒服， My manner was what I constantly observe
吾非以服有服。”- I did not put it on for the occasion.'
士成绮雁行避影，Shi-cheng Qi sidled away out of Lao's shadow;
履行， then he retraced his steps,
遂进而问：“修身若何？”advanced forward, and asked how he should cultivate himself.
老子曰： The reply was,
“而容崖然， 'Your demeanour is repelling;
而目冲然， you stare with your eyes;
而颡頯然， your forehead is broad and yet tapering;
而口阚然， you bark and growl with your mouth;
而状义然， your appearance is severe and pretentious;
似系马而止也。 you are like a horse held by its tether,
动而持，you would move, but are restrained,
发也机， and (if let go) would start off like an arrow from a bow;
察而审， you examine all the minutiae of a thing;
知巧而睹于泰，your wisdom is artful, and yet you try to look at ease.
凡以为不信。 All these are to be considered proofs of your want of sincerity.
边竟有人焉， If on the borders one were to be found with them,
其名为窃。” he would be named a Thief.'
