子曰，饱食终日，无所用心，难矣哉，不有博弈者乎，为之犹贤乎已。
Modern Chinese Guide
孔子说：整天吃饱了饭，什么心思也不用，这真难办啊！不是还有掷骰下棋一类游戏吗？做做这些，也比闲着无所事事强。
James Legge Translation
The Master said, "Hard is it to deal with him, who will stuff himself with food the whole day, without applying his mind to anything good! Are there not gamesters and chess players? To be one of these would still be better than doing nothing at all."
