【第七章】子曰、自行束脩以上、吾未嘗無誨焉。
【第八章】子曰、不憤不啟、不悱不發、舉一隅、不以三隅反、則不復也。
【第九章】【一節】子食於有喪者之側、未嘗飽也。【二節】子於是日哭、
則不歌。
【第十章】【一節】子謂顏淵曰、用之則行、舍之則藏、惟我
CHAP. VII. The Master said, 'From the man bringing his
bundle of dried flesh for my teaching upwards, I have never
refused instruction to any one.'
CHAP. VIII. The Master said, 'I do not open up the truth
to one who is not eager to get knowledge, nor help out any one
who is not anxious to explain himself. When I have presented
one corner of a subject to any one, and he cannot from it learn
the other three, I do not repeat my lesson.'
CHAP. IX. 1. When the Master was eating by the side of a
mourner, he never ate to the full.
2. He did not sing on the same day in which he had been
weeping.
CHAP. X. 1. The Master said to Yen Yuan, 'When called to
office, to undertake its duties; when not so called, to lie
retired;-- it is only I and you who have attained to this.'
與爾有是夫。【二節】子路曰、子行三軍則誰與。【三節】子曰、暴虎馮河、
死而無悔者、吾不與也、必也臨事而懼、好謀而成者也。
【十一章】子曰、富而可求也、雖執鞭之士、吾亦為之、如不可求、從吾所
好。
【十二章】子之所慎、齊、戰、疾。
2. Tsze-lu said, 'If you had the conduct of the armies of a
great State, whom would you have to act with you?'
3. The Master said, 'I would not have him to act with me,
who will unarmed attack a tiger, or cross a river without a
boat, dying without any regret. My associate must be the man
who proceeds to action full of solicitude, who is fond of
adjusting his plans, and then carries them into execution.'
CHAP. XI. The Master said, 'If the search for riches is sure
to be successful, though I should become a groom with whip in
hand to get them, I will do so. As the search may not be
successful, I will follow after that which I love.'
CHAP. XII. The things in reference to which the Master
exercised the greatest caution were -- fasting, war, and
sickness.
【十三章】子在齊聞韶、三月不知肉味、曰、不圖為樂之至於斯也。
【十四章】【一節】冉有曰、夫子為衛君乎。子貢曰、諾、吾將問之。【二
節】入曰、伯夷叔齊、何人也。曰、古之賢人也。曰、怨乎。曰、求仁而得
仁、又何怨。出曰、夫子不為也。
CHAP. XIII. When the Master was in Ch'i, he heard the
Shao, and for three months did not know the taste of flesh. 'I
did not think'' he said, 'that music could have been made so
excellent as this.'
CHAP. XIV. 1. Yen Yu said, 'Is our Master for the ruler of
Wei?' Tsze-kung said, 'Oh! I will ask him.'
2. He went in accordingly, and said, 'What sort of men
were Po-i and Shu-ch'i?' 'They were ancient worthies,' said the
Master. 'Did they have any repinings because of their course?'
The Master again replied, 'They sought to act virtuously, and
they did so; what was there for them to repine about?' On this,
Tsze-kung went out and said, 'Our Master is not for him.'
