7.25
子曰：“圣人［1］，吾不得而见之矣；得
见 君 子 者， 斯 可 矣。” 子 曰：“ 善 人， 吾 不
得而见之矣；得见有恒者，斯可矣。亡而为有，
虚而为盈，约而为泰，难乎有恒矣。”
The Master said, “A sage it is not mine to see;
could I see a man of real talent and virtue, that
would satisfy me.” The Master said, “A good man
it is not mine to see; could I see a man possessed of
constancy, that would satisfy me.” Having not and
yet affecting to have, empty and yet affecting to be
full, straitened and yet affecting to be at ease: — it is
difficult with such characteristics to have constancy.”
【注释】［1］圣人：无事不通，知识渊博，人
格品德最高者。
