41 尽心上:
公孙丑曰:“道则高矣,美矣,宜若登天然,似不可及也。何不使彼为可几及而日孳孳也?”
Jin Xin I:
Gong Sun Chou said, 'Lofty are your principles and admirable, but to learn them may well be likened to ascending the heavens - something which cannot be reached. Why not adapt your teaching so as to cause learners to consider them attainable, and so daily exert themselves!'
孟子曰:“大匠不为拙工改废绳墨,羿不为拙射变其彀率。君子引而不发,跃如也。中道而立,能者从之。”
Mencius said, 'A great artificer does not, for the sake of a stupid workman, alter or do away with the marking-line. Yi did not, for the sake of a stupid archer, charge his rule for drawing the bow. The superior man draws the bow, but does not discharge the arrow, having seemed to leap with it to the mark; and he there stands exactly in the middle of the path. Those who are able, follow him.'
