子张问明。子曰，浸润之谮，肤受之愬，不行焉，可谓明也已矣，浸润之谮，肤受之愬，不行焉，可谓远也已矣。
白话导读
子张请教怎样才算明智。孔子说：像水一样一点一滴渗透进来的谗言，像切肤之痛般迫切的诬告，在你这里都行不通，就可以算是明智了。像水一样渗透的谗言，像切肤之痛的诬告，在你这里都行不通，就可以算是有远见了。
James Legge 英译
Tsze-chang asked what constituted intelligence. The Master said, "He with whom neither slander that gradually soaks into the mind, nor statements that startle like a wound in the flesh, are successful, may be called intelligent indeed. Yea, he with whom neither soaking slander, nor startling statements, are successful, may be called farseeing."
