無足曰：Dissatisfied rejoined,
「夫富之於人，無所不利， 'But riches are in every way advantageous to man.
窮美究埶，With them his attainment of the beautiful and mastery of every art
至人之所不得逮，become what the perfect man cannot obtain
賢人之所不能及， nor the sagely man reach to;
俠人之勇力而不為威強， his appropriation of the bravery and strength of others enables him to exercise a powerful sway;
秉人之知謀以為明察， his availing himself of the wisdom and plans of others makes him be accounted intelligent and discriminating;
因人之德以為賢良， his taking advantage of the virtues of others makes him be esteemed able and good.
非享國而嚴若君父。Though he may not be the holder of a state, he is looked to with awe as a ruler and father.
且夫聲色、滋味、權勢之於人，Moreover, music, beauty, with the pleasures of the taste and of power,
心不待學而樂之， are appreciated by men's minds and rejoiced in without any previous learning of them;
體不待象而安之。 the body reposes in them without waiting for the example of others.
夫欲惡避就，Desire and dislike, avoidance and pursuit,
固不待師， do not require any master
此人之性也。- this is the nature of man.
天下雖非我， Though the world may condemn one's indulgence of them,
孰能辭之！」 who can refrain from it?'
知和曰： Know-the-Mean replied,
「知者之為，'The action of the wise
故動以百姓， is directed for the good of the people,
不違其度， but they do not go against the (proper) rule and degree.
是以足而不爭，Therefore when they have enough, they do not strive (for more);
無以為故不求。they have no further object, and so they do not seek for one.
不足故求之，When they have not enough, they will seek for it;
爭四處而不自以為貪；they will strive for it in every quarter, and yet not think of themselves as greedy.
有餘故辭之，If they have (already) a superfluity, they will decline (any more);
棄天下而不自以為廉。they will decline the throne, and yet not think of themselves as disinterested:
廉貪之實，the conditions of disinterestedness and greediness
非以迫外也， are (with them) not from the constraint of anything external.
反監之度。 Through their exercise of introspection,
勢為天子而不以貴驕人，their power may be that of the sovereign, but they will not in their nobility be arrogant to others;
富有天下而不以財戲人。their wealth may be that of the whole kingdom, but they will not in their possession of it make a mock of others.
計其患， They estimate the evils to which they are exposed,
慮其反， and are anxious about the reverses which they may experience.
以為害於性， They think how their possessions may be injurious to their nature,
故辭而不受也， and therefore they will decline and not accept them
非以要名譽也。- but not because they seek for reputation and praise.
堯、舜為帝而雍，Yao and Shun were the sovereigns, and harmony prevailed.
非仁天下也，It did so, not because of their benevolence towards the people
不以美害生也；- they would not, for what was (deemed) admirable, injure their lives.
善卷、許由得帝而不受，Shan Juan and Xu You might have been the sovereigns, but they would not receive the throne
非虛辭讓也， - not that they declined it without purpose,
不以事害己。 but they would not by its occupancy injure themselves.
此皆就其利， These all followed after what was advantageous to them,
辭其害， and declined what was injurious,
而天下稱賢焉， and all the world celebrates their superiority.
則可以有之，Thus, though they enjoy the distinction,
彼非以興名譽也。」they did what they did, not for the sake of the reputation and praise.'
