又曰：Again the Confucianist says:
「君子若鍾， "The superior man is like a bell.
擊之則鳴， It will sound when it is struck.
弗擊不鳴。 It will remain silent when it is not struck."
應之曰： We answer him:
「夫仁人事上竭忠，The magnanimous, in serving his superior, should be loyal,
事親得孝，and in serving his parents, should be filial.
務善則美， When there is excellence (in the superior) he should adore,
有過則諫， when there is fault he should give counsel.
此為人臣之道也。 This is the way of a minister.
今擊之則鳴，Now, if one sounds only when struck,
弗擊不鳴， and remains silent when not struck,
隱知豫力， then he will hide his knowledge and spare his efforts,
恬漠待問而後對， waiting to be questioned before he answers.
雖有君親之大利， Even if there is some great advantage at stake to the lord or parents,
弗問不言， he will not speak up without being asked.
若將有大寇亂，盜賊將作，若機辟將發也，And, if a great invasion or insurrection is approaching or a conspiracy is afoot,
他人不知，己獨知之， and none know it but he;
雖其君親皆在，yet even in the presence of his lord and parents
不問不言。 he will not speak up without being questioned.
是夫大亂之賊也！What a criminal, producing confusion!
以是為人臣不忠， Such a man will not be loyal as a minister,
為子不孝， filial as a son,
事兄不弟，respectful in serving an elder brother
交，遇人不貞良。夫執後不言之朝物， or gentle in treating the people.
見利使己雖恐後言，When benefit is in sight, the only fear should be that counsel may be late.
君若言而未有利焉， When the ruler starts something not beneficial,
則高拱下視，會噎為深，曰： one should fold his hands high on the breast and look down and utter with difficulty:
『唯其未之學也。』 "This I have not learned."
用誰急，Upon emergency
遺行遠矣。 one should withdraw and set out on a long journey.
夫一道術學業仁義者，For, every principle, doctrine, and standard of magnanimity and righteousness
皆大以治人，are to be used on the large scale to rule men
小以任官， and on the small scale to hoId office;
遠施周偏，widely, to exercise a universal influence
近以脩身，and, narrowly, to cultivate one's person.
不義不處， What is not righteous should not be tolerated;
非理不行， what is not according to principle should not be practised.
務興天下之利，One should endeavour to procure benefits for the empire
曲直周旋， directly and indirectly,
利則止， avoiding that which brings no profit:
此君子之道也。 such is the way of the superior man.
以所聞孔丘之行，則本與此相反謬也。But what we hear of the conduct of Kong Qiu is diametrically opposed to this.
