論 語 Lun Yu – The Analects of Confucius

子曰‘巧言、令色、足恭、左丘明恥之、丘亦恥之。匿怨而友其人、左丘明恥之、丘亦恥之’

原文 117

Praise of sincerity, and of Tso Ch'iû-ming.
The Master said, "Fine words, an insinuating appearance, and excessive respect;– Tso Ch'iˆu-ming was ashamed of them. I also am ashamed of them. To conceal resentment against a person, and appear friendly with him;– Tso Ch'iˆu-ming was ashamed of such conduct. I also am ashamed of it."

Legge V.24.

The Master said, 'Cunning words, an ingratiating face and utter servility, these things Tso-ch'iu Ming found shameful. I, too, find them shameful. To be friendly towards someone while concealing one's hostility, this Tso-ch'iu Ming found shameful. I, too, find it shameful.'

Lau [5:25]

Le Maître dit : « Chercher à plaire par un langage étudié, prendre un extérieur trop composé, donner des marques de déférence excessives, c'est ce que Tsouo K'iou ming aurait rougi de faire ; moi aussi, j'en aurais honte. Haïr un homme au fond du cœur et le traiter amicalement, c'est ce que Tsouo K'iou ming aurait rougi de faire ; moi aussi, j'en aurais honte. »

Couvreur V.24.
