子畏于匡，颜渊后，子曰，吾以女为死矣。曰，子在，回何敢死。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子在匡地被围而遭遇危难，颜渊落在了后面。孔子说：我以为你已经死了。颜渊说：先生您还活着，我怎么敢轻易去死呢？

James Legge Translation

The Master was put in fear in K'wang and Yen Yuan fell behind. The Master, on his rejoining him, said, "I thought you had died." Hui replied, "While you were alive, how should I presume to die?"
