子曰，贤哉回也，一箪食，一瓢飮，在陋巷，人不堪其忧，回也不改其乐，贤哉回也。
Modern Chinese Guide
孔子说：颜回真贤德啊！一竹筐饭，一瓢水，住在简陋的小巷里，别人受不了那样的困苦忧愁，颜回却不改变他的快乐。颜回真贤德啊！
James Legge Translation
The Master said, "Admirable indeed was the virtue of Hui! With a single bamboo dish of rice, a single gourd dish of drink, and living in his mean narrow lane, while others could not have endured the distress, he did not allow his joy to be affected by it. Admirable indeed was the virtue of Hui!"
