盆成括［1］仕于齐，孟子曰：“死矣盆成
括！”
盆成括见杀，门人问曰：“夫子何以知
其将见杀？”
曰：“其为人也小有才，未闻君子之大
道也，则足以杀其躯而已矣。”
Pencheng Kuo having obtained an official
situation in Qi, Mencius said, “He is a dead man,
that Pencheng Kuo!”
Pencheng Kuo being put to death, the disciples
asked, saying, “How did you know, Master, that he
would meet with death?”
Mencius replied, “He was a man, who had a
little ability, but had not learned the great doctrines
of the superior man. He was just qualified to bring
death upon himself, but for nothing more.”
