Modern Chinese Guide

齐景公谈到对待孔子的礼遇，说：像鲁君对待季氏那样，我做不到，我用介于季氏和孟氏之间的规格来对待他。后来又说：我老了，不能任用他了。孔子于是离开了齐国。

James Legge Translation

The duke Ching of Ch'i, with reference to the manner in which he should treat Confucius, said, "I cannot treat him as I would the chief of the Chi family. I will treat him in a manner between that accorded to the chief of the Chi, and that given to the chief of the Mang family." He also said, "I am old; I cannot use his doctrines." Confucius took his departure.
