子曰，吾犹及史之阙文也，有马者，借人乘之，今亡矣夫。
Modern Chinese Guide
孔子说：我还赶得上见到史官对有疑问的地方存而不写、有马的人肯借给别人骑用的时代，如今这种谨慎的风气没有了啊。
James Legge Translation
The Master said, "Even in my early days, a historiographer would leave a blank in his text, and he who had a horse would lend him to another to ride. Now, alas! there are no such things."
