司马牛问仁,子曰:“仁者,其言也讱。”曰:“其言也讱,斯谓之仁已乎?”子曰:“为之难,言之得无讱乎?”
1Sze-ma Niu asked about perfect virtue.
2The Master said, 'The man of perfect virtue is cautious and slow in his speech.'
3'Cautious and slow in his speech!' said Niu;-- 'is this what is meant by perfect virtue?' The Master said, 'When a man feels the difficulty of doing, can he be other than cautious and slow in speaking?'
