厌耻
原文
宠辱若惊，贵大患若身。何谓宠辱若惊？宠为下，得之若惊，失之若惊，是谓宠辱若惊。何谓贵大患若身？吾所以有大患者，为吾有身，及吾无身，吾有何患？故贵以身为天下，若可寄天下；爱以身为天下，若可托天下。
王弼注
宠辱若惊，贵大患若身。何谓宠辱若惊？宠为下，得之若惊，失之若惊，是谓宠辱若惊。宠必有辱，荣必有患，惊辱等，荣患同也。为下，得宠辱荣患若惊，则不足以乱天下也。何谓贵大患若身？大患，荣宠之属也。生之厚，必入死之地，故谓之大患也。人迷之于荣宠，返之于身，故曰大患若身也。吾所以有大患者，为吾有身，由有其身也。及吾无身，归之自然也。吾有何患？故贵以身为天下，若可寄天下；无以易其身，故曰贵也。如此乃可以托天下也。爱以身为天下，若可托天下。无物可以损其身，故曰爱也。如此乃可以寄天下也，不以宠辱荣患损易其身，然后乃可以天下付之也。
英文 · James Legge
(Loathing shame) Favour and disgrace would seem equally to be feared; honour and great calamity, to be regarded as personal conditions (of the same kind). What is meant by speaking thus of favour and disgrace? Disgrace is being in a low position (after the enjoyment of favour). The getting that (favour) leads to the apprehension (of losing it), and the losing it leads to the fear of (still greater calamity) - this is what is meant by saying that favour and disgrace would seem equally to be feared. And what is meant by saying that honour and great calamity are to be (similarly) regarded as personal conditions? What makes me liable to great calamity is my having the body (which I call myself); if I had not the body, what great calamity could come to me? Therefore he who would administer the kingdom, honouring it as he honours his own person, may be employed to govern it, and he who would administer it with the love which he bears to his own person may be entrusted with it.
