11.20

      孟子曰:“羿之教人射,必志于彀[1];
学者亦必志于彀。大匠诲人,必以规矩;学
者亦必以规矩。”

      Mencius said, “Yi, in teaching men to shoot,
made it a rule to draw the bow to the full, and his
pupils also did the same. A master workman, in
teaching others, uses the compass and square, and
his pupils do the same.”

【注释】[1]志:期望。彀(g7u):把弓拉满。

【译文】孟子说:“羿教人射箭,一定要求把
弓拉满;学射的人也力求自己把弓拉满。高
明的工匠教人手艺,一定要用圆规和尺子;
学手艺的人也一定要使用圆规和尺子。”
