子夏〔1〕曰：“贤贤易色〔2〕；事父母，能竭其力；事君，能致其身〔3〕；与朋友交，言而有信：虽曰未学，吾必谓之学矣。”〔4〕
▍注释
〔1〕子夏，孔子弟子，姓卜，名商。
〔2〕贤人之贤，而易其好色之心，好善有诚也。不能有非分之想。
〔3〕致，犹委也。委致其身，谓不有其身也。
〔4〕四者皆人伦之大者，而行之必尽其诚，学求如是而已。
儒家四伦：夫妻，父母和孩子；君臣；朋友。
Tsze-hsia said, "If a man withdraws his mind from the love of beauty, and applies it as sincerely to the love of the virtuous; if, in serving his parents, he can exert his utmost strength; if, in serving his prince, he can devote his life; if, in his intercourse with his friends, his words are sincere: — although men say that he has not learned, I will certainly say that he has."
