【原文】有子曰:“信近于义,言可复也;恭近于礼,远耻辱也;因不失其亲,亦可宗也。”
【英译文】The philosopher Yu said, "When agreements are made according to what is right, what is spoken can be made good. When respect is shown according to what is proper, one keeps far from shame and disgrace. When the parties upon whom a man leans are proper persons to be intimate with, he can make them his guides and masters."
【白话文】有子说:“讲信用要符合于义,(符合于义的)话才能实行;恭敬要符合于礼,这样才能远离耻辱;所依靠的都是可靠的人,也就值得尊敬了。”
【个人感悟】 信、恭要有礼义的标准,用人则是一个人礼义的体现,物以类聚人以群分,你用的是什么样的人,从某种程度上来说,你也是什么样的人,用人的标准也应当是礼义。
