子曰，出则事公卿，入则事父兄，丧事不敢不勉，不为酒困，何有于我哉。
Modern Chinese Guide
孔子说：出外就侍奉公卿，在家就侍奉父兄，办丧事不敢不尽心尽力，不被酒所困扰，这些事对我来说有什么难的呢？
James Legge Translation
The Master said, "Abroad, to serve the high ministers and nobles; at home, to serve one's father and elder brothers; in all duties to the dead, not to dare not to exert one's self; and not to be overcome of wine:—which one of these things do I attain to?"
