有子曾子:「夫子?」You-zi asked Zeng-zi if he had ever questioned the Master about (an officer's) losing his place.
:「'I heard from him,' was the reply,
'that the officer in such a case should wish to become poor quickly,
。」 (just as) we should wish to decay away quickly when we have died.'
有子 You-zi said,
君子。」 'These are not the words of a superior man.'
曾子:「夫子。」'I heard them from the Master,' returned Zeng-zi.
有子:「君子。」 You-zi repeated that they were not the words of a superior man,
曾子:「子游。」 and the other affirmed that both he and Zi-you had heard them.
有子:「夫子。」'Yes, yes,' said You-zi, 'but the Master must have spoken them with a special reference.'
