《梁惠王上 - Liang Hui Wang I》 | Library Resources |
| 1 | 梁惠王上: | 孟子見梁惠王。王曰：「叟不遠千里而來，亦將有以利吾國乎？」 |
| Liang Hui Wang I: | Mencius went to see king Hui of Liang. The king said, 'Venerable sir, since you have not counted it far to come here, a distance of a thousand li, may I presume that you are provided with counsels to profit my kingdom?' | |
| 孟子對曰：「王何必曰利？亦有仁義而已矣。王曰『何以利吾國』？大夫曰『何以利吾家』？士庶人曰『何以利吾身』？上下交征利而國危矣。萬乘之國弒其君者，必千乘之家；千乘之國弒其君者，必百乘之家。萬取千焉，千取百焉，不為不多矣。苟為後義而先利，不奪不饜。未有仁而遺其親者也，未有義而後其君者也。王亦曰仁義而已矣，何必曰利？」 | ||
| Mencius replied, 'Why must your Majesty use that word "profit?" What I am provided with, are counsels to benevolence and righteousness, and these are my only topics. 'If your Majesty say, "What is to be done to profit my kingdom?" the great officers will say, "What is to be done to profit our families?" and the inferior officers and the common people will say, "What is to be done to profit our persons?" Superiors and inferiors will try to snatch this profit the one from the other, and the kingdom will be endangered. In the kingdom of ten thousand chariots, the murderer of his sovereign shall be the chief of a family of a thousand chariots. In the kingdom of a thousand chariots, the murderer of his prince shall be the chief of a family of a hundred chariots. To have a thousand in ten thousand, and a hundred in a thousand, cannot be said not to be a large allotment, but if righteousness be put last, and profit be put first, they will not be satisfied without snatching all. There never has been a benevolent man who neglected his parents. There never has been a righteous man who made his sovereign an after consideration. Let your Majesty also say, "Benevolence and righteousness, and let these be your only themes." Why must you use that word - "profit?".' |

| 2 | 刺孟: | 夫利有二：有貨財之利，有安吉之利。惠王曰：「何以利吾國？」何以知不欲安吉之利，而孟子徑難以貨財之利也？《易》曰：「利見大人。」「利涉大川。」「乾，元亨利貞。」《尚書》曰：「黎民亦尚有利哉？」皆安吉之利也。行仁義得安吉之利。孟子不且語問惠王：「何謂『利吾國』？」惠王言貨財之利，乃可荅若設。令惠王之問未知何趣？孟子徑荅以貨財之利。如惠王實問貨財，孟子無以驗效也；如問安吉之利，而孟子荅以貨財之利，失對上之指，違道理之實也。 |

| 1 | 孟子荀卿... : | 太史公曰：余讀孟子書，至梁惠王問「何以利吾國」，未嘗不廢書而嘆也。曰：嗟乎，利誠亂之始也！夫子罕言利者，常防其原也。故曰「放於利而行，多怨」。自天子至於庶人，好利之獘何以異哉！ |

| 1 | 梁惠王: | 孟子見於梁惠王。王曰：叟不遠千里而來，亦將有以利吾國乎。孟子對曰：王何必曰利，亦曰仁義而已矣。王何必以利為名乎。亦惟有仁義之道可以為名耳，以利為名，則有不利之患矣。王曰何以利吾國，大夫曰何以利吾家，士庶人曰何以利吾身，上下交征利，而國危矣。征，取也。從王至庶人各欲取利，必至於篡弑。未有仁而遺其親者也。未有義而後其君者也。 |
