子曰:“出则事公卿,入则事父兄,丧
事不敢不勉,不为酒困,何有于我哉?”
The Master said, “Abroad, to serve the high
ministers and nobles; at home, to serve one’s father
and elder brothers; in all duties to the dead, not to
dare not to exert one’s self; and not to be overcome
of wine: which one of these things do I attain to?”
【译文】孔子说:“出外就事公卿,进家就侍
奉父兄,办丧事不敢不勤勉,不被酒乱性,
这些对于我来说有何难的?”
【解读】这是孔子告诫弟子的话。无论出仕为官,
还是做事情,都要态度认真,严格按照礼制
的要求为人处事。事公卿要忠,事父兄要孝,
有丧事要尽心尽力、考虑周全,不能贪杯误事。
