溫伯雪子適齊，Wen-bo Xue-zi, on his way to Qi,
舍於魯。 stayed some time in Lu,
魯人有請見之者， where some persons of the state begged to have an interview with him.
溫伯雪子曰：「不可。He refused them, saying,
吾聞中國之君子，'I have heard that the superior men of these Middle States
明乎禮義而陋於知人心，understand the (subjects of) ceremony and righteousness, but are deplorably ignorant of the minds of men.
吾不欲見也。」 I do not wish to see them.'
至於齊， He went on to Qi;
反舍於魯，and on his way back (to the south), he again stayed in Lu,
是人也又請見。 when the same persons begged as before for an interview.
溫伯雪子曰： He then said,
「往也蘄見我， 'Formerly they asked to see me,
今也又蘄見我， and now again they seek an interview.
是必有以振我也。」 They will afford me some opportunity of bringing out my sentiments.'
出而見客， He went out accordingly and saw the visitors,
入而歎。 and came in again with a sigh.
明日見客， The next day again he saw the visitors,
又入而歎。 and again came in again with a sigh.
其僕曰： His servant said to him,
「每見之客也， 'Whenever you see those visitors,
必入而歎， you are sure to come in again sighing
何邪？」- Why is this?'
曰：「吾固告子矣：'I told you before,' was the reply,
『中國之民，'that the people of these Middle States
明乎禮義而陋乎知人心。』understand (the subjects of) ceremony and righteousness, but are deplorably ignorant of the minds of men.
昔之見我者， Those men who have just seen me,
進退一成規，as they came in and went out would describe, one a circle
一成矩； and another a square,
從容一若龍，and in their easy carriage would be like, one a dragon
一若虎； and another a tiger.
其諫我也似子， They remonstrated with me as sons (with their fathers),
其道我也似父。 and laid down the way for me as fathers (for their sons).
是以歎也。」 It was this which made me sigh.'
