Book 8: 《泰伯》 Tai Bo
《泰伯》 Passage 8.3
曾子有疾,召門弟子曰:「啟予足!啟予手!《詩》云『戰戰兢兢,如臨深淵,如履薄冰。』而今而後,吾知免夫!小子!」
Legge Translation (1861)
The philosopher Zeng being ill, he called to him the disciples of his school, and said: "Uncover my feet, uncover my hands. It is said in the Book of Poetry, 'Be fearful, be cautious, as if on the brink of a deep gulf, as if treading on thin ice.' and now I know that I have escaped from all injury to my person, my little children."
