桃应［1］问曰：“舜为天子，皋陶为士［2］，
瞽瞍［3］杀人，则如之何？”
孟子曰：“执之而已矣。”
“然则舜不禁与？”
曰：“夫舜恶得而禁之？夫有所受之也。”
“然则舜如之何？”
曰：“舜视弃天下犹弃敝蹝［4］也。窃负
而逃，遵海滨而处，终身?［5］然，乐而忘天下。”
Tao Ying asked, saying, “Shun being sovereign,
and Gaoyao chief minister of justice, if Gusou had
murdered a man, what would have been done in the
case?”
Mencius said, “Gaoyao would simply have
apprehended him. ”
“But would not Shun have forbidden such a
thing?”
