浩生不害[1]问曰:“乐正子[2]何人也?”
孟子曰:“善人也,信人也。”
“何谓善?何谓信?”
曰:“可欲之谓善,有诸己之谓信,充
实之谓美,充实而有光辉之谓大,大而化之
之谓圣,圣而不可知之之谓神。乐正子,二
之中,四之下也。”
Haosheng Buhai asked, saying, “What sort of
man is Yuezheng?”
Mencius replied, “He is a good man, a real
man.”
“What do you mean by ‘a good man,’ ‘A real
man?’”
The reply was, “A man who commands our
liking is what is called a good man. He whose
goodness is part of himself is what is called real man.
