子曰,若圣与仁,则吾岂敢,抑为之不厌,诲人不倦,则可谓云尔已矣。公西华曰,正唯弟子不能学也。
白话导读
孔子说:说到圣与仁,那我怎么敢当呢?不过是朝着这个方向去做而永不满足,教导别人而不知疲倦,可以说就是这样罢了。公西华说:这正是我们弟子学不到的地方啊。
James Legge 英译
The Master said, "The sage and the man of perfect virtue;—how dare I rank myself with them? It may simply be said of me, that I strive to become such without satiety, and teach others without weariness." Kung-hsi Hwa said, "This is just what we, the disciples, cannot imitate you in."
