| 31 | 告子下: | 白圭曰：“丹之治水也愈于禹。” |
| Gaozi II: | Bai Gui said, 'My management of the waters is superior to that of Yu.' | |
| 孟子曰：“子过矣。禹之治水，水之道也。是故禹以四海为壑，今吾子以邻国为壑。水逆行，谓之洚水。洚水者，洪水也，仁人之所恶也。吾子过矣。” | ||
| Mencius replied, 'You are wrong, Sir. Yu's regulation of the waters was according to the laws of water. He therefore made the four seas their receptacle, while you make the neighbouring States their receptacle. Water flowing out of its channels is called an inundation. Inundating waters are a vast waste of water, and what a benevolent man detests. You are wrong, my good Sir.' |
