Hsien Wan / 1

宪问耻。子曰，邦有道谷，邦无道谷，耻也。

Modern Chinese Guide

原宪问什么是耻辱。孔子说：国家政治清明时做官领俸禄，国家政治黑暗时也照样做官领俸禄，这就是耻辱。

James Legge Translation

Hsien asked what was shameful. The Master said, "When good government prevails in a state, to be thinking only of salary; and, when bad government prevails, to be thinking, in the same way, only of salary;—this is shameful."
