【原文】
子张问崇德辨惑。子曰：〝主忠信，徙义，崇德也。爱之欲其生，恶之欲其死，既欲其生，又欲其死，是惑也。‘诚不以富，亦只以异’。〞
【參考译文】
子张询问怎样提高道德修养和辩别是非。孔子说：〝亲近忠信诚实的人，凡事从仁义出发，就能提高道德修养。对于一个人，喜爱时希望他长寿；厌恶时，希望他马上死去。既要他长寿，又要他短命，这就叫做不辩是非。〞
【English Translation】
Zi Zhang asked how to cultivate virtue and the ability to discern right from wrong. Confucius said: "Associate closely with the loyal and honest, and base everything on benevolence. That will help you cultivate your virtue. When we like a person, we wish him longevity. When we hate him, we wish that he dies immediately. To wish him longevity for a moment then to curse him to a short life the next moment is not being able to discern between right and wrong. "
