Book 10: 《鄉黨》 Xiang Dang (In the Village)
《鄉黨》 Passage 10.2
朝，與下大夫言，侃侃如也；與上大夫言，誾誾如也。君在，踧踖如也。與與如也。
Legge Translation (1861)
When he was waiting at court, in speaking with the great officers of the lower grade, he spake freely, but in a straightforward manner; in speaking with those of the higher grade, he did so blandly, but precisely.When the ruler was present, his manner displayed respectful uneasiness; it was grave, but self-possessed.
