齐景公有马千驷，死之日，民无德而称焉，伯夷叔齐，饿于首阳之下，民到于今称之。其斯之谓与。

Modern Chinese Guide

齐景公有四千匹马，可是他死的时候，百姓觉得他没有什么德行值得称颂。伯夷、叔齐饿死在首阳山下，百姓直到今天还在称颂他们。说的大概就是这个道理吧。

James Legge Translation

1. The duke Ching of Ch'i had a thousand teams, each of four horses, but on the day of his death, the people did not praise him for a single virtue. Po-i and Shu-ch'i died of hunger at the foot of the Shau-yang mountain, and the people, down to the present time, praise them. 2. "Is not that saying illustrated by this?"
