子zǐ曰yuē，衣yì敝bì缊yùn袍páo，与yǔ衣yì孤hú貉hé者zhě立lì，而ér不bù耻chǐ者zhě，其qí由yóu也yě与yú。不bú忮zhì不bù求qiú，何hé用yòng不bù臧zāng。子zǐ路lù终zhōng身shēn诵sòng之zhī，子zǐ曰yuē，是shì道dào也yě，何hé足zú以yǐ臧zāng。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子说：穿着破旧的丝棉袍子，同穿着狐貉皮袍的人站在一起而不觉得羞愧的，大概只有子路吧！《诗经》说：不嫉妒，不贪求，为什么会不好呢？子路听了以后，一直反复念着这两句诗。孔子说：这只是做人的一般道理罢了，怎么就算得上好呢？

James Legge Translation

1. The Master said, "Dressed himself in a tattered robe quilted with hemp, yet standing by the side of men dressed in furs, and not ashamed;—ah! it is Yu who is equal to this! 2. "'He dislikes none, he covets nothing;—what can he do but what is good!'" 3. Tsze-lu kept continually repeating these words of the ode, when the Master said, "Those things are by no means sufficient to constitute (perfect) excellence."
