　魚我所欲也

　　孟子

　　原文

　　魚，我所欲也，熊掌，亦我所欲也，二者不可得兼，舍魚而取熊掌者也。生，亦我所欲也，義，亦我所欲也，二者不可得兼，舍生而取義者也。生亦我所欲，所欲有甚于生者，故不為茍得也。死亦我所惡，所惡有甚于死者，故患有所不辟也。如使人之所欲莫甚于生，則凡可以得生者何不用也。使人之所惡莫甚于死者，則凡可以辟患者何不為也!由是則生而有不用也;由是則可以辟患而有不為也。是故所欲有甚于生者，所惡有甚于死者。非獨賢者有是心也，人皆有之，賢者能勿喪耳。

　　一簞食，一豆羹，得之則生，弗得則死。呼爾而與之，行道之人弗受;蹴爾而與之，乞人不屑也。

　　萬鐘則不辯禮義而受之，萬鐘于我何加焉!為宮室之美，妻妾之奉，所識窮乏者得我與?鄉為身死而不受，今為宮室之美為之;鄉為身死而不受，今為妻妾之奉為之;鄉為身死而不受，今為所識窮乏者得我而為之：是亦不可以已乎?此之謂失其本心。

　英文翻譯

　　Mencius says, “Fish is what I desire, and so are bear’s paws. If I cannot have them both, I would choose the latter and forsake the former. Life is what I desire, and so is righteousness. If I cannot have them both, I would choose the latter and forsake the former. To be sure, life is desirable, but I will not stick to it discreditably if something more precious is to be desired. I hate death, but I will not shun it when there is something more abhorrent than it. To make life one’s greatest desire, what one would not resort to if only he could preserve it? To make death one’s greatest abhorrence, what one would not do if only he could avert it? Hence there is something not to be resorted to even for the preservation of life and something not to be done even for the evasion of death. Therefore, that one would prefer righteousness to life and abhor iniquity more than death is not only the case with sages, but is also true of everybody. What makes the difference is that the former would on no account lose this inclination. A morsel of food and a bowl of soup, however indispensable to his survival, would be rejected by a wanderer if given with indignities, and would be distained by a beggar if given with kicks. ”

　　“Thousands of piculs of grain acquired as reward without paying regard to honor and justice—what good would they do to me? Just useful for building splendid houses, supporting wife and concubines, or for winning the gratitude of poor acquaintances? Previously I refused them, even setting death at defiance. Yet now I accept them for the sake of building splendid houses, supporting wife and concubines and winning the gratitude of poor acquaintances—could it be said to be reasonable? It is called being destitute of one’s inborn nature. ”
