第一章
1. 陽貨欲見孔子，孔子不見，歸孔子豚。孔子時其亡也，而往拜之，遇諸涂。
2. 謂孔子曰：「來！予與爾言。」曰：「懷其寶而迷其邦，可謂仁乎？」曰：「不可。」「好從事而亟失時，可謂知乎？」曰：「不可。」「日月逝矣，歲不我與。」孔子曰：「諾。吾將仕矣。」

CHAPTER I.
1. Yang Ho wished to see Confucius, but
Confucius would not go to see him. On this, he sent a present of a pig to
Confucius, who, having chosen a time when Ho was not at home, went to pay his
respects for the gift. He met him, however, on the way.
2. Ho said to Confucius, 'Come, let me speak
with you.' He then asked, 'Can he be called benevolent who keeps his jewel in
his bosom, and leaves his country to confusion?' Confucius replied, 'No.' 'Can
he be called wise, who is anxious to be engaged in public employment, and yet
is constantly losing the opportunity of being so?' Confucius again said, 'No.'
'The days and months are passing away; the years do not wait for us.' Confucius
said, 'Right; I will go into office.'
