《憲問》 Passage 14.43
原壤夷俟。子曰:「幼而不孫弟,長而無述焉,老而不死,是為賊!」以杖叩其脛。
Legge Translation (1861)
Yuan Rang was squatting on his heels, and so waited the approach of the Master, who said to him: "In youth not humble as befits a junior; in manhood, doing nothing worthy of being handed down; and living on to old age: — this is to be a pest."With this he hit him on the shank with his staff.
