阙党童子将命。或问之曰：“益者与？”子曰：“吾见其居于位也，见其与先生并行也，非求益者也，欲速成者也。”
1A youth of the village of Ch'ueh was employed by Confucius to carry the messages between him and his visitors. Some one asked about him, saying, 'I suppose he has made great progress.'
2The Master said, 'I observe that he is fond of occupying the seat of a full-grown man; I observe that he walks shoulder to shoulder with his elders. He is not one who is seeking to make progress in learning. He wishes quickly to become a man.'
