第七章
1. 顏淵死，顏路請子之車以為之槨。
2. 子曰：「才不才，亦各言其子也。鯉也死，有棺而無槨。吾不徒行以為之槨。以吾從大夫之後，不可徒行也。」

CHAPTER VII.
1. When Yen Yuan died, Yen Lu begged the
carriage of the Master to sell and get an outer shell for his son's coffin.
2. The Master said, 'Every one calls his son
his son, whether he has talents or has not talents. There was Li; when he died,
he had a coffin but no outer shell. I would not walk on foot to get a shell for
him, because, having followed in the rear of the great officers, it was not
proper that I should walk on foot.'
