又曰：Again the Confucianist says:
“君子若锺， "The superior man is like a bell.
击之则鸣， It will sound when it is struck.
弗击不鸣。 It will remain silent when it is not struck."
应之曰： We answer him:
“夫仁人事上竭忠，The magnanimous, in serving his superior, should be loyal,
事亲得孝，and in serving his parents, should be filial.
务善则美， When there is excellence (in the superior) he should adore,
有过则谏， when there is fault he should give counsel.
此为人臣之道也。 This is the way of a minister.
今击之则鸣，Now, if one sounds only when struck,
弗击不鸣， and remains silent when not struck,
隐知豫力， then he will hide his knowledge and spare his efforts,
恬漠待问而后对， waiting to be questioned before he answers.
虽有君亲之大利， Even if there is some great advantage at stake to the lord or parents,
弗问不言， he will not speak up without being asked.
若将有大寇乱，盗贼将作，若机辟将发也，And, if a great invasion or insurrection is approaching or a conspiracy is afoot,
他人不知，己独知之， and none know it but he;
虽其君亲皆在，yet even in the presence of his lord and parents
不问不言。 he will not speak up without being questioned.
是夫大乱之贼也！What a criminal, producing confusion!
以是为人臣不忠， Such a man will not be loyal as a minister,
为子不孝， filial as a son,
事兄不弟，respectful in serving an elder brother
交，遇人不贞良。夫执后不言之朝物， or gentle in treating the people.
见利使己虽恐后言，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,
则高拱下视，会噎为深，曰： one should fold his hands high on the breast and look down and utter with difficulty:
‘唯其未之学也。’ "This I have not learned."
用谁急，Upon emergency
遗行远矣。 one should withdraw and set out on a long journey.
夫一道术学业仁义者，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;
远施周偏，widely, to exercise a universal influence
近以修身，and, narrowly, to cultivate one's person.
不义不处， What is not righteous should not be tolerated;
非理不行， what is not according to principle should not be practised.
务兴天下之利，One should endeavour to procure benefits for the empire
曲直周旋， directly and indirectly,
利则止， avoiding that which brings no profit:
此君子之道也。 such is the way of the superior man.
以所闻孔丘之行，则本与此相反谬也。But what we hear of the conduct of Kong Qiu is diametrically opposed to this.
