子夏曰 “賢賢易色, 事父母能竭其力, 事君能致其身, 與朋友交言而有信. 雖曰未學, 吾必謂之學矣.”

子夏說：「重賢輕色、盡心孝順父母、盡力獻身國家、交朋友言而有信的人，即使沒有高等學歷，我也認為他已經受到了良好的教育。」

子夏说：“重贤轻色、尽心孝顺父母、尽力献身国家、交朋友言而有信的人，即使没有高等学历，我也认为他已经受到了良好的教育。”

자하왈, 현현이색, 사부모능갈기력, 사군능치기신, 여붕우교언이유신. 수왈미학, 오필위지학의.

자하가 말하였다. “어진 이를 어진 이로 대하기를 마치 여색을 좋아하듯이 하고, 부모를 섬길 때는 자신의 힘을 다할 수 있으며, 임금을 섬길 때는 자신의 몸을 다 바칠 수 있고, 벗과 사귈 때는 언행에 믿음이 있다면, 비록 배운 게 없다고 하더라도 나는 반드시 그를 배운 사람이라고 할 것이다.”

Tsze-hsiâ said, "If a man withdraws his mind from the love of beauty, and applies it as sincerely to the love of the virtuous; if, in serving his parents, he can exert his utmost strength; if, in serving his prince, he can devote his life; if, in his intercourse with his friends, his words are sincere:– although men say that he has not learned, I will certainly say that he has."

Tzu-hsia said, 'I would grant that a man has received instruction who appreciates men of excellence where other men appreciate beautiful women, who exerts himself to the utmost in the service of his parents and offers his person to the service of his lord, and who, in his dealings with his friends, is trustworthy in what he says, even though he may say that he has never been taught.'

子夏曰く、賢を賢として色に易え、父母に事えて能く其の力を竭し、君に事えて能くその身を致し、朋友と交わるに言いてまことあらば、未だ学ばずと曰うと雖も、吾は必ずこれを学び足りと謂わん。

子夏がこうおっしゃった。『美人（色）を好むのと同じようにして、賢人を賢人として尊敬しなければならない。父母に仕えて力の限りを尽くし、君主に仕えて身命を捧げ、友人と交わって一度言ったことを決して裏切らない。（こんな人物がいたとして）人は、『この人はまだ学問をしていないから賢人ではないというかもしれないが、私は、きっとこの人物を学問をした賢人だと評価するだろう（真の賢人とはこういう人物のことを言うのである）』
