Yung Yey / 12

子游为武城宰，子曰，女得人焉耳乎。曰，有澹台灭明者，行不由径，非公事，未尝至于偃之室也。

Modern Chinese Guide

子游做武城的长官。孔子说：你在那里得到什么人才了吗？子游说：有个叫澹台灭明的人，走路从不抄小道近路，若不是公事，从来不到我屋里来。

James Legge Translation

Tsze-yu being governor of Wu-ch'ang, the Master said to him, "Have you got good men there?" He answered, "There is Tan-t'ai Mieh-ming, who never in walking takes a short cut, and never comes to my office, excepting on public business."
