子路让子羔去做费邑的长官。孔子说：这是害了人家的子弟。子路说：那里有百姓，有社稷可以治理，为什么一定要读书才算是学习呢？孔子说：所以我讨厌那种强嘴利舌的人。

James Legge Translation

1. Tsze-lu got Tsze-kao appointed governor of Pi. 2. The Master said, "You are injuring a man's son." 3. Tsze-lu said, "There are (there) common people and officers; there are the altars of the spirits of the land and grain. Why must one read books before he can be considered to have learned?" 4. The Master said, "It is on this account that I hate your glib-tongued people."
