子夏〔1〕曰:“賢賢易色〔2〕疙渣;事父母,能竭其力堆巧;事君妄荔,能致其身〔3〕;與朋友交谍肤,言而有信:雖曰未學(xué)啦租,吾必謂之學(xué)矣』拇В”〔4〕

〔2〕賢人之賢,而易其好色之心赋除,好善有誠(chéng)也阱缓。不能有非分之想。
〔3〕致举农,猶委也荆针。委致其身,謂不有其身也颁糟。
〔4〕四者皆人倫之大者航背,而行之必盡其誠(chéng),學(xué)求如是而已棱貌。

Tsze-hsia said, "If a man withdraws his mind from the love of beauty, and applies it as sincerely to the love of the virtuous; if, in serving his parents, he can exert his utmost strength; if, in serving his prince, he can devote his life; if, in his intercourse with his friends, his words are sincere: — although men say that he has not learned, I will certainly say that he has."
