《论语.宪问篇》第十四篇第12章

14.12 子路问成人。子曰:“若臧武仲之知,公绰之不欲,卞庄子之勇,冉求之艺,文之以礼乐,亦可以为成人矣。”曰:“今之成人者何必然?见利思义,见危授命,久要不忘平生之言,亦可以为成人矣。”

原句译文

14.12 子路问怎样才算是完人。孔子说:“像臧武仲那样有智慧,像孟公绰那样不贪求,像卞庄子那样勇敢,像冉求那样有才艺,再用礼乐来增加他的文采,就可以算个完人了。”孔子又说:“如今的完人何必要这样呢?见到利益能想到道义,遇到危险时肯献出生命,长期处在贫困之中也不忘平日的诺言,也就可以算是完人了。”

成人:脚踏土地,仰望星空

王尔德有这样一句名言:“我们都在阴沟里,但仍有人仰望星空。”我们都是生活在这个社会上的普通人,利益的诱惑、穷的束缚、生命的威胁随时围绕在身边,常常无法为我们所左右。有些人在这样的环境下,逐渐失去了本心,被大环境的波浪推着走。在这样的环境下,要成为一个真正的“成人”,首先要做到的就是即使身处泥泞,也要坚持原则,不为外物所动。当你明确了必须坚守的原则和梦想,并且身体力行去实践它的时候,你就开始“成人”了。推荐你读《奈飞文化手册》

英文版

14.12. When Zi Lu asked what an accomplished man should be like, the Master said, “A man wise as Zang Wu Zhong, desire-free as Meng Gong Chao, brave as Bian Zhuang Zi, and artful as Ran Qiu may be considered as an accomplished man if he is cultivated in ritual and music.” He then added, “What is the need for an accomplished man of today to have all these things? If he should prefer the proper to the profit, risk his life in face of danger, and never forget a promise made long ago, I think he is good enough to be called an accomplished man.”
