墨家 -> 墨子 -> 卷四 -> 兼愛中 -> 7

然而今天下之士君子曰：Nevertheless. the gentlemen in the empire think that,
「然，乃若兼則善矣。 though it would be an excellent thing if love can be universalized,
雖然，不可行之物也， it is something quite impracticable.
譬若挈太山越河濟也。」It is like carrying Mt. Tai and leaping over the Ji River.
子墨子言：「是非其譬也。Mozi said: The illustration is a faulty one.
夫挈太山而越河濟，Of course to be able to carry Mt. Tai and leap over the Ji River
可謂畢劫有力矣， would be an extreme feat of strength.
自古及今未有能行之者也。 Such has never been performed from antiquity to the present time.
況乎兼相愛，交相利，則與此異， But universal love and mutual aid are quite different from this.
古者聖王行之。 And the ancient sage-kings did practise it.
何以知其然？How do we know they did?
古者禹治天下， When Yu was working to bring the Deluge under control,
西為西河漁竇，he dug the West River and the Youdou River in the west
以泄渠孫皇之水；in order to let off the water from the Qu, Sun, and Huang Rivers.
北為防原泒，In the north he built a dam across the Yuan and Gu Rivers
注后之邸，in order to fill the Houzhidi (a basin)
呼池之竇， and the Huzhi River.
洒為底柱，Mt. Dizhu was made use of as a water divide,
鑿為龍門，and a tunnel was dug through Mt. Lungmen.
以利燕、代、胡、貉與西河之民；All these were done to benefit the peoples west of the (Yellow) River and various barbarian tribes, Yan, Dai, Hu, Ho, of the north.
東方漏之陸防孟諸之澤， In the east he drained the great Plain and built dykes along the Mengzhu River.
灑為九澮，The watercourse was divided into nine canals
以楗東土之水，in order to regulate the water in the east
以利冀州之民； and in order to benefit the people of the District of Ji.
南為江、漢、淮、汝，In the south he completed the Yangtze, Han, Huai, and Ru Rivers.
東流之，These ran eastward
注五湖之處， and emptied themselves into the Five Lakes.
以利荊、楚、干、1越與南This was done in order to benefit the peoples of Jing, Qi, Gan, Yue, and the barbarians of the south.
夷之民。
此言禹之事， All these are the deeds of Yu.
吾今行兼矣。We can, then, universalize love in conduct.
昔者文王之治西土， When King Wen was ruling the Western land,
若日若月，he shone forth like the sun and the moon
乍光于四方于西土， all over the four quarters as well as in the Western land.
不為大國侮小國， He did not allow the big state to oppress the small state,
不為眾庶侮鰥寡， he did not allow the multitude to oppress the singlehanded,
不為暴勢奪穡人黍、稷、狗、彘。 he did not allow the influential and strong to take away the grain and live stock from the farmers.
天屑臨文王慈， Heaven visited him with blessing.
是以老而無子者，And, therefore, the old and childless
有所得終其壽； had the wherewithal to spend their old age,
連獨無兄弟者，the solitary and brotherless
有所雜於生人之閒； had the opportunity to join in the social life of men,
少失其父母者，and the orphans
有所放依而長。 had the support for their growth.
此文王之事， This was what King Wen had accomplished.
則吾今行兼矣。We can, then, universalize love in conduct.
昔者武王將事泰山隧，When King Wu was about to do service to Mt. Tai
傳曰： it was recorded thus:
『泰山，有道曾孫周王有事，"Blessed is Mt. Tai. Duke of Zhou by a long descent is about to perform his duty.
大事既獲， As I have obtained the approval of Heaven,
仁人尚作，the magnanimous arise
以祗商夏，to save the people of Shang Xia
蠻夷醜貉。 as well as the barbarians (from the tyranny of Emperor Zhou).
雖有周親， Though (Emperor Zhou) has many near relatives,
不若仁人， they cannot compare with the magnanimous.
萬方有罪， If there is sin anywhere,
維予一人。』 I am solely responsible."
此言武王之事， This relates the deeds of King Wu.
吾今行兼矣。」We can, then, universalize love in conduct.
