Lunyu XIX. 1. (485)

Tsze-chang's opinion of the chief attributes of a true scholar.
Tsze-chang said, "The scholar, trained for public duty, seeing threatening danger, is prepared to sacrifice his life. When the opportunity of gain is presented to him, he thinks of righteousness. In sacrificing, his thoughts are reverential. In mourning, his thoughts are about the grief which he should feel. Such a man commands our approbation indeed."

Legge XIX.1.

Tzu-chang said, 'One can, perhaps, be satisfied with a Gentleman who is ready to lay down his life in the face of danger, who does not forget what is right at the sight of gain,' and who does not forget reverence during a sacrifice nor sorrow while in mourning.'

Lau [19:1]

Tzeu tchang dit : « Celui-là est un vrai gentilhomme, qui, en face du péril, expose sa vie, en face d'un avantage à recueillir, se rappelle la justice, dans les sacrifices, a soin d'être respectueux et, dans le deuil, ne pense qu'à sa douleur. »

Couvreur XIX.1.

「見得思義、祭思敬、喪思哀」
うまい話がころげこんできたら、筋が通っているかどうか考えることだ。祭祀(さいし)にさいしては、敬う気持ちを忘れないようにすることだ。喪に服すときは、心から故人を悼むことだ。
