Modern Chinese Guide

孔子说：我整天和颜回谈话，他从不提出异议，好像很愚钝。等他退下后，我观察他的私下言行，却能发挥我所讲的道理。颜回并不愚钝啊。

James Legge Translation

The Master said, "I have talked with Hui for a whole day, and he has not made any objection to anything I said;—as if he were stupid. He has retired, and I have examined his conduct when away from me, and found him able to illustrate my teachings. Hui!—He is not stupid."
