公都子曰:「外人皆稱夫子好辯,敢問何也?」 孟子曰:「予豈好辯哉?予不得已也。天下之生久矣,一治一亂。當堯之時,水逆行,泛濫於中國。蛇龍居之,民無所定。下者為巢,上者為營窟。《書》曰:『洚水警餘。』洚水者,洪水也。使禹治之。禹掘地而注之海,驅蛇龍而放之菹,水由地中行,江、淮、河、漢是也。險阻既遠,鳥獸之害人者消,然後人得平土而居之。」 「堯、舜既沒,聖人之道衰。暴君代作,壤宮室以為污池,民無所安息;棄田以為園囿,使民不得衣食。邪說暴行又作。園囿污地沛澤多,而禽獸至。及紂之身,天下又大亂。周公相武王,誅紂、伐奄,三年討其君;驅飛廉於海隅而戮之;滅國者五十;驅虎豹犀象而遠之。天下大悅。《書》曰:『丕顯哉文王謨!丕承哉武王烈!
