足、啟予手、詩云、戰戰兢兢、如臨深淵、如履薄冰、而今而後、吾知免夫、 小子。 【第四章】【一節】曾子有疾、孟敬子問之。曾子言曰、鳥之將死、其鳴也 哀、人之將死、其言也善。【三節】君子所貴乎道者三、動容貌、斯遠暴慢 矣、正顏色、斯近信笑、出辭氣、斯遠鄙倍矣、籩豆之事、則有司存。 CHAP. IV. 1. The philosopher Tsang being ill, Meng Chang went to ask how he was. 2. Tsang said to him, 'When a bird is about to die, its notes are mournful; when a man is about to die, his words are good. 3. 'There are three principles of conduct which the man of high rank should consider specially important:-- that in his deportment and manner he keep from violence and heedlessness; that in regulating his countenance he keep near to sincerity; and that in his words and tones he keep far from lowness and impropriety. As to such matters as attending to the sacrificial vessels, there are the proper officers for them.' 【第五章】曾子曰、以能問於不能、以多問於寡、有若無、實若處、犯而不 校、昔者吾友、嘗從事於斯矣。 【第六章】曾子曰、可以託六尺之孤、可以寄百里之命、臨大節、而不可奪 也、君子人與、君子人也。 【第七章】【一節】曾子曰、士、不可以不弘毅、任重而道遠。【二節】仁 以為己 CHAP. V. The philosopher Tsang said, 'Gifted with ability, and yet putting questions to those who were not so; possessed of much, and yet putting questions to those possessed of little; having, as though he had not; full, and yet counting himself as empty; offended against, and yet entering into no altercation; formerly I had a friend who pursued this style of conduct.' CHAP. VI. The philosopher Tsang said, 'Suppose that there is an individual who can be entrusted with the charge of a young orphan prince, and can be commissioned with authority over a state of a hundred li, and whom no emergency however great can drive from his principles:-- is such a man a superior man? He is a superior man indeed.' CHAP. VII. 1. The philosopher Tsang said, 'The officer may not be without breadth of mind and vigorous endurance. His burden is heavy and his course is long. 任、不亦重乎、死而後已、不亦遠乎。 【第八章】【一節】子曰、興於詩。【二節】立於禮。【三節】成於樂。 【第九章】子曰、民可使由之、不可使知之。 【第十章】子曰、好勇疾貧、亂也、人而不仁、疾之已甚、亂也。 2. 'Perfect virtue is the burden which he considers it is his to sustain;-- is it not heavy? Only with death does his course stop;-- is it not long? CHAP. VIII. 1. The Master said, 'It is by the Odes that the mind is aroused. 2. 'It is by the Rules of Propriety that the character is established. 3. 'It is from Music that the finish is received.' CHAP. IX. The Master said, 'The people may be made to follow a path of action, but they may not be made to understand it.' CHAP. X. The Master said, 'The man who is fond of daring and is dissatisfied with poverty, will proceed to insubordination. So will the man who is not virtuous, when you carry your dislike of him to an extreme.'
