小德出入可也。 【十二章】【一節】子游曰、子夏之門人小子、當洒掃、應對、進退、則可 矣、抑末也、本之則無、如之何。【二節】子夏聞之曰、噫、言游過矣、君 子之道、孰先傳焉、孰後倦焉、譬諸草木、區以別矣、君子之道、焉可誣也、 有始有卒者、其惟聖人乎。 CHAP. XII. 1. Tsze-yu said, 'The disciples and followers of Tsze-hsia, in sprinkling and sweeping the ground, in answering and replying, in advancing and receding, are sufficiently accomplished. But these are only the branches of learning, and they are left ignorant of what is essential.-- How can they be acknowledged as sufficiently taught?' 2. Tsze-hsia heard of the remark and said, 'Alas! Yen Yu is wrong. According to the way of the superior man in teaching, what departments are there which he considers of prime importance, and delivers? what are there which he considers of secondary importance, and allows himself to be idle about? But as in the case of plants, which are assorted according to their classes, so he deals with his disciples. How can the way of a superior man be such as to make fools of any of them? Is it not the sage alone, who can unite in one the beginning and the consummation of learning?' 【十三章】子夏曰、仕而優則學、學而優則仕。 【十四章】子游曰、喪致乎哀而止。 【十五章】子游曰、吾友張也、為難能也、然而未仁。 【十六章】曾子曰、堂堂乎張也、難與並為仁矣。 【十七章】曾子曰、吾聞諸夫子、人未有自致者也、必也親喪乎。 CHAP.

Tsze-hsia said, 'My friend Chang can do things which are hard to be done, but yet he is not perfectly virtuous.' CHAP. XVI. The philosopher Tsang said, 'How imposing is the manner of Chang! It is difficult along with him to practise virtue.' CHAP. XVII. The philosopher Tsang said, 'I heard this from our Master:-- "Men may not have shown what is in them to the full extent, and yet they will be found to do so, on occasion of mourning for their parents."' 【十八章】曾子曰、吾聞諸夫子、孟莊子之孝也、其他可能也、其不改父之 臣、與父之政、是難能也。 【十九章】孟氏使陽膚為士師、問於曾子。曾子曰、上失其道、民散、久矣、 如得其情、則哀矜而勿喜。 【二十章】子貢曰、紂之不善、不如是之甚也、是以君子 CHAP. XVIII. The philosopher Tsang said, 'I have heard this from our Master:-- "The filial piety of Mang Chwang, in other matters, was what other men are competent to, but, as seen in his not changing the ministers of his father, nor his father's mode of government, it is difficult to be attained to."' CHAP. XIX. The chief of the Mang family having appointed Yang Fu to be chief criminal judge, the latter consulted the philosopher Tsang. Tsang said, 'The rulers have failed in their duties, and the people consequently have been disorganised, for a long time. When you have found out the truth of any accusation, be grieved for and pity them, and do not feel joy at your own ability.' CHAP. XX.
