顏淵還車，Yan Yuan (now) returned to the carriage,
子路授綏， where Zi-lu handed to him the strap;
孔子不顧， but Confucius did not look round,
待水波定，(continuing where he was), till the wavelets were stilled,
不聞拏音， and he did not hear the sound of the pole,
而後敢乘。 when at last he ventured to (return and) take his seat.
子路旁車而問曰：Zi-lu, by his side in the carriage, asked him, saying,
「由得為役久矣， 'I have been your servant for a long time,
未嘗見夫子遇人如此其威也。but I have never seen you, Master, treat another with the awe and reverence which you have now shown.
萬乘之主，千乘之君，見夫子未嘗不分庭伉禮，I have seen you in the presence of a Lord of ten thousand chariots or a Ruler of a thousand, and they have never received you in a different audience-room, or treated you but with the courtesies due to an equal,
夫子猶有倨敖之容。 while you have still carried yourself with a reserved and haughty air;
今漁者杖拏逆立， but to-day this old fisherman has stood erect in front of you with his pole in his hand,
而夫子曲要磬折，while you, bent from your loins in the form of a sounding-stone,
言拜而應， would bow twice before you answered him
得無太甚乎？- was not your reverence of him excessive?
門人皆怪夫子矣，Your disciples will all think it strange in you, Master.
漁人何以得此乎？」 Why did the old fisherman receive such homage from you?'
孔子伏軾而歎曰：Confucius leant forward on the cross-bar of the carriage, heaved a sigh, and said,
「甚矣由之難化也！'Difficult indeed is it to change you, 0 You!
湛於禮義有間矣， You have been trained in propriety and righteousness for long,
而樸鄙之心至今未去。 and yet your servile and mean heart has not been taken front you.
進！ Come nearer,
吾語汝。 that I may speak fully to you.
夫遇長不敬，If you meet one older than yourself, and do not show him respect,
失禮也； you fail in propriety.
見賢不尊，If you see a man of superior wisdom and goodness, and do not honour him,
不仁也。 you want the great characteristic of humanity.
彼非至人， If that (fisherman) did not possess it in the highest degree,
不能下人， how could he make others submit to him?
下人不精， And if their submission to him be not sincere,
不得其真， they do not attain to the truth (of their nature),
故長傷身。 and inflict a lasting injury on their persons.
惜哉！Alas!
不仁之於人也，禍莫大焉， there is no greater calamity to man than the want of this characteristic;
而由獨擅之。and you, 0 You, you alone, would take such want on yourself.
且道者，萬物之所出也，Moreover, the Dao is the course by which all things should proceed.
庶物失之者死， For things to fail in this is death;
得之者生；to observe it, is life.
為事逆之則敗， To oppose it in practice is ruin;
順之則成。to conform it, is success.
故道之所在，聖人尊之。Therefore wherever the sagely man finds the Dao, he honours it.
今漁父之道，可謂有矣， And that old fisherman to-day might be said to possess it
吾敢不敬乎！」- dared I presume not to show him reverence?'
