【平治天下】
離婁之明、公輸子之巧,不以規(guī)矩,不能成方員①;師曠之聰, 不以六律,不能正五音;堯舜之道,不以仁政,不能平治天下。
—《孟子·離婁上》
【注釋】
【參考譯文】
就算有離婁那樣的眼力,公輸班那樣的技巧,如果不使用圓規(guī)和矩尺,也不能畫出準(zhǔn)確的圓形和方形;就算有師曠那樣的耳力,不憑借六律這種工具,也不能校正五音;就算有堯舜那樣的道德,如果不以仁政為法度,也不能治理好天下。
Even if you had the keen eyes of Li Lou and the skill of Gongshu Zi, you could not draw squares and circles without the compass and square; even if you had the acute ears of Shi Kuang, you could not adjust the pitch of the five notes correctly without the six pipes; even if you knew the Way of Yao and Shun, you could not rule the Empire equitably without a benevolent government.
