盡心上·17

入公門，鞠躬如也，如不容。立不中門，行不履閾。過位，色勃如也，足躩如也，其言似不足者。攝齊升堂，鞠躬如也，屛氣似不息者。出，降一等，逞顏色，怡怡如也。沒階趨進，翼如也。復其位，踧踖如也。

鄉黨第十·十之四

This is a direct reading: the original and source are kept; commentary will be added later.

農工商交易之路通，而龜貝金錢刀布之幣興焉。所從來久遠，自高辛氏之前尚矣，靡得而記云。故書道唐虞之際，詩述殷周之世，安寧則長庠序，先本絀末，以禮義防于利；事變多故而亦反是。是以物盛則衰，時極而轉，一質一文，終始之變也。禹貢九州，各因其土地所宜，人民所多少而納職焉。湯武承弊易變，使民不倦，各兢兢所以為治，而稍陵遲衰微。齊桓公用管仲之謀，通輕重之權，徼山海之業，以朝諸侯，用區區之齊顯成霸名。魏用李克，盡地力，為彊君。自是以後，天下爭於戰國，貴詐力而賤仁義，先富有而後推讓。故庶人之富者或累巨萬，而貧者或不厭糟糠；有國彊者或并群小以臣諸侯，而弱國或絕祀而滅世。以至於秦，卒并海內。虞夏之幣，金為三品，或黃，或白，或赤；或錢，或布，或刀，或龜貝。及至秦，中一國之幣為二等，黃金以溢名，為上幣；銅錢識曰半兩，重如其文，為下幣。而珠玉、龜貝、銀錫之屬為器飾寶藏，不為幣。然各隨時而輕重無常。於是外攘夷狄，內興功業，海內之士力耕不足糧饢，女子紡績不足衣服。古者嘗竭天下之資財以奉其上，猶自以為不足也。無異故云，事勢之流，相激使然，曷足怪焉。

平準書·太史公曰·第1则

孟子謂戴不勝曰：「子欲子之王之善與？我明告子：有楚大夫於此，欲其子之齊語也，則使齊人傅諸？使楚人傅諸？」 曰：「使齊人傅之。」 曰：「一齊人傅之，眾楚人咻之，雖日撻而求其齊也，不可得矣。引而置之莊岳之間數年，雖日撻而求其楚，亦不可得矣。子謂薛居州，善士也，使之居於王所。在於王所者，長幼卑尊皆薛居州也，王誰與為不善？在王所者，長幼卑尊皆非薛居州也，王誰與為善？一薛居州，獨如宋王何？」

滕文公下·6

This is a direct reading: the original and source are kept; commentary will be added later.

Thus I spent about eighteen months in London; most part of the time I work'd hard at my business, and spent but little upon myself except in seeing plays and in books. My friend Ralph had kept me poor; he owed me about twenty-seven pounds, which I was now never likely to receive; a great sum out of my small earnings! I lov'd him, notwithstanding, for he had many amiable qualities. I had by no means improv'd my fortune; but I had picked up some very ingenious acquaintance, whose conversation was of great advantage to me; and I had read considerably.
