Tsze-hsia said, "If a man withdraws his mind from the love of beauty, and applies it as sincerely to the love of the virtuous; if, in serving his parents, he can exert his utmost strength; if, in serving his prince, he can devote his life; if, in his intercourse with his friends, his words are sincere: — although men say that he has not learned, I will certainly say that he has."

子夏〔1〕曰：“贤贤易色〔2〕；事父母，能竭其力；事君，能致其身〔3〕；与朋友交，言而有信：虽曰未学，吾必谓之学矣。”〔4〕

● 注释

〔1〕子夏，孔子弟子，姓卜，名商。
〔2〕贤人之贤，而易其好色之心，好善有诚也。
〔3〕致，犹委也。委致其身，谓不有其身也。
〔4〕四者皆人伦之大者，而行之必尽其诚，学求如是而已。
故子夏言有能如是之人，苟非生质之美，必其务学之至。虽或以为未尝为学，我必谓之已学也。

游氏曰：“三代之学，皆所以明人伦也。能是四者，则于人伦厚矣。学之为道，何以加此？子夏以文学名，而其言如此，则古人之所谓学者可知矣。故《学而》一篇，大抵皆在于务本。”
