8.23
孟子曰：“可以取，可以无取，取伤廉；
可以与，可以无与，与伤惠；可以死，可以无死，
死伤勇。”
Mencius said, “When it appears proper to
take a thing, and afterwards not proper, to take it
is contrary to moderation. When it appears proper
to give a thing and afterwards not proper, to give
it is contrary to kindness. When it appears proper
to sacrifice one’s life, and afterwards not proper, to
sacrifice it is contrary to bravery.”
【 译 文】 孟 子 说：“ 可 以 取， 也 可 以 不 取， 取
了就有损于廉洁；可以给，也可以不给，给
了就有损于恩惠；可以死，也可以不死，死
了就有损于勇敢。”
