寓言十九，Of my sentences nine in ten are metaphorical;
重言十七， of my illustrations seven in ten are from valued writers.
卮言日出， The rest of my words are like the water that daily fills the cup,
和以天倪。 tempered and harmonised by the Heavenly element in our nature.
寓言十九，The nine sentences in ten which are metaphorical
藉外論之。 are borrowed from extraneous things to assist (the comprehension of) my argument.
親父不為其子媒。(When it is said, for instance), 'A father does not act the part of matchmaker for his own son,'
親父譽之，不若非其父者也； (the meaning is that) 'it is better for another man to praise the son than for his father to do so.'
非吾罪也， The use of such metaphorical language is not my fault,
人之罪也。 but the fault of men (who would not otherwise readily understand me).
與己同則應，Men assent to views which agree with their own,
不與己同則反， and oppose those which do not so agree.
同於己為是之， Those which agree with their own they hold to be right,
異於己為非之。 and those which do not so agree they hold to be wrong.
重言十七，The seven out of ten illustrations taken from valued writers
所以已言也， are designed to put an end to disputations.
是為耆艾。 Those writers are the men of hoary eld,
年先矣， my predecessors in time.
而無經緯本末以期年耆者，But such as are unversed in the warp and woof, the beginning and end of the subject, cannot be set down as of venerable eld,
是非先也。 and regarded as the predecessors of others.
人而無以先人， If men have not that in them which fits them to precede others,
無人道也； they are without the way proper to man,
人而無人道，and they who are without the way proper to man
是之謂陳人。 can only be pronounced defunct monuments of antiquity.
