《礼记》（节选）--子夏其子而丧其明（James Legge
译）
【原文】
子夏其子而丧其明(2)。曾子吊之，曰：“吾闻之也：朋友丧明，则哭之。”曾子哭，子夏亦哭，曰：“天乎！予之无罪也！”曾子怒曰：“商！女何无罪也③？吾与女事夫子于洙泗之间(4)，退而老于西河之上(5)，使西河之民疑女于夫子(6)，尔罪一也。丧尔亲，使民未有闻焉，尔罪二也。丧尔子，丧尔明，尔罪三也。”而曰：“女何无罪与？”子夏投其杖而拜曰：“吾过矣！吾过矣！吾离群而索居(7)。亦已久矣！”
When Zi-xia was mourning for his son, he lost
his eyesight. Zeng-zi went to condole with him, and said, 'I have
heard that when a friend loses his eyesight, we should wail for
him.' Thereupon he wailed, and Zi-xia also wailed, and said, 'O
Heaven, and I have no guilt!' Zeng-zi was angry, and said, 'Shang,
how can you say that you have no guilt? I and you served the Master
between the Zhu and the Si'; and (after his death) you retired, and
grew old in the neighbourhood of the Western He, where you made the
people compare you with the Master. This was one offence. When you
mourned for your parents, you did so in such a way that the people
heard nothing of it. This was a second offence. When you mourned
for your son, you did it in such a way that you have lost your
eyesight. This is a third offence. And how do you say that you have
no guilt?' Zi-xia threw down his staff, and bowed, saying, 'I was
wrong, I was wrong. It is a long time since I left the herd, and
lived apart here.'（James Legge 译）

【译文】
子夏因儿子死了而哭瞎了眼睛。曾子前去吊唁并说：“我听说朋友的眼睛失明了，就要为它哭泣。”曾子哭了，子夏也哭起来，说道：“天啊！我没有罪过呀！”曾子气愤地说：“你怎么没有罪过呢？以前我和你在洙水和泗水侍奉老师，后来你告老回到西河，使西河的人们把你比作老师。这是你的第一条罪过。你居亲人之丧，没有可以为人特别称道的事这是你的第二条罪过。你儿子死了就哭瞎了眼睛。这是你的第三条罪过。”曾子接着反问道你难道就没有罪过吗？“子夏听后仍掉手杖，下拜说：”我错了！我错了！我离开朋友独自居住太久了。
