      子曰:“人皆曰予[1]知,驱而纳诸罟擭[2]
陷阱之中,而莫之知辟[3]也。人皆曰予知,
择乎中庸,而不能期月[4]守也。”

      The Master said, “Men all say, ‘We are wise’;
but being driven forward and taken in a net, a trap,
or a pitfall, they know not how to escape. Men all
say, ‘We are wise’; but happening to choose the
course of the Mean, they are not able to keep it for a
round month.”

【注释】[1]予:我,自己。[2]罟(g^):
捕鸟兽的网。擭(hu7):装有机关的捕兽的
木 笼。[3] 辟: 同“ 避”。[4] 期 月: 一
个整月时间。
