故礼义法度者，'Just so it is that the rules of propriety, righteousness, laws, and measures,
应时而变者也。 change according to the time.
今取猨狙而衣以周公之服，If now you take a monkey, and dress it in the robes of the duke of Zhou,
彼必齕啮挽裂， it will bite and tear them,
尽去而后慊。 and will not be satisfied till it has got rid of them altogether.
观古今之异，And if you look at the difference between antiquity and the present time
犹猨狙之异乎周公也。 it is as great as that between the monkey and the duke of Zhou.
故西施病心而矉其里，In the same way, when Xi Shi was troubled in mind, she would knit her brows and frown on all in her neighbourhood.
其里之丑人见而美之，An ugly woman of the neighbourhood, seeing and admiring her beauty,
归亦捧心而矉其里。went home, and also laying her hands on her heart proceeded to stare and frown on all around her.
其里之富人见之， When the rich people of the village saw her,
坚闭门而不出； they shut fast their doors and would not go out;
贫人见之， when the poor people saw her,
挈妻子而去之走。 they took their wives and children and ran away from her.
彼知矉美而不知矉之所以美。The woman knew how to admire the frowning beauty, but she did not know how it was that she, though frowning, was beautiful.
惜乎！Alas!
而夫子其穷哉！it is indeed all over with your Master!
