颜渊死了，孔子的学生想要厚葬他。孔子说：不可以。学生们还是厚葬了他。孔子说：颜回把我当父亲一样看待，我却不能把他当儿子一样对待。这不是我的意思啊，是那几个学生要这样做的。

James Legge Translation

1. When Yen Yuan died, the disciples wished to give him a great funeral, and the Master said, "You may not do so." 2. The disciples did bury him in great style. 3. The Master said, "Hui behaved towards me as his father. I have not been able to treat him as my son. The fault is not mine; it belongs to you, O disciples."
