陈亢问伯鱼说：你在老师那里听到过什么特别的教诲吗？伯鱼回答说：没有。有一次他独自站在庭中，我快步走过庭前，他问：学《诗》了吗？我回答说：没有。他说：不学《诗》，就不懂得怎样说话。

James Legge Translation

1. Ch'an K'ang asked Po-yu, saying, "Have you heard any lessons from your father different from what we have all heard?" 2. Po-yu replied, "No. He was standing alone once, when I passed below the hall with hasty steps, and said to me, 'Have you learned the Odes?' On my replying 'Not yet,' he added, 'If you do not learn the Odes, you will not be fit to converse with.' I retired and studied the Odes.
