2.18
子张学干禄［1］。子曰：“多闻阙疑，慎
言其余，则寡尤［2］。多见阙殆［3］，慎行其余，
则寡悔。言寡尤，行寡悔，禄在其中矣。”
Tsze-chang was learning with a view to official
emolument. The Master said, “Hear much and put
aside the points of which you stand in doubt, while
you speak cautiously at the same time of the others:
—then you will afford few occasions for blame. See
much and put aside the things which seem perilous,
while you are cautious at the same time in carrying
the others into practice: —then you will have few
occasions for repentance. When one gives few
occasions for blame in his words, and few occasions
for repentance in his conduct, he is in the way to get
emolument. ”
