孟懿子问孝。子曰：“无违。”樊迟御，子告之曰：“孟孙问孝于我，我对曰‘无违’。”樊迟曰：“何谓也？”子曰：“生，事之以礼，死，葬之以礼，祭之以礼。”
Mang I (孟懿子) asked what filial piety was. The Master said, "It is not being disobedient."
Soon after, as Fan Ch'ih was driving him, the Master told him, saying, "Mang-sun asked me what filial piety was, and I answered him, — 'not being disobedient'."
Fan Ch'ih said, "What did you mean?" The Master replied, "That parents, when alive, be served according to propriety; that, when dead, they should be buried according to propriety; and that they should be sacrificed to according to propriety."
▍生词

▍感想
什么是孝顺？不要违背礼节。原来儒家推崇的也不是愚孝，以前不知道为什么一直有这样的误解，今天算是重新认识了孔子的“孝”。
“孝顺”这个概念对外国人来讲也比较难理解，因为他们的亲子关系跟我们不太一样，所以在给学生播放美剧的过程中也要提到这一点，免得他们看到剧中的关系而对自己的父母不满。
