子罕 / 18

子曰,譬如为山,未成一篑,止,吾止也,譬如平地,虽覆一篑,进,吾往也。

白话导读

孔子说:好比堆土成山,只差一筐土就完成了,若停下来,那是我自己停下的;又好比在平地上堆山,虽然才倒下一筐土,若继续前进,那是我自己在前进。

James Legge 英译

The Master said, "The prosecution of learning may be compared to what may happen in raising a mound. If there want but one basket of earth to complete the work, and I stop, the stopping is my own work. It may be compared to throwing down the earth on the level ground. Though but one basketful is thrown at a time, the advancing with it is my own going forward."
