18.8 逸民1：伯夷、叔齐、虞仲、夷逸、朱张、柳下惠、少连2。子曰：“不降其志，不辱其身，伯夷、叔齐与！”谓“柳下惠、少连，降志辱身矣，言中伦，行中虑，其斯而已矣”。谓“虞仲、夷逸，隐居放言3，身中清，废中权4。我则异于是，无可无不可”。
【译文】
遗佚于世的人有：伯夷、叔齐、虞仲、夷逸、朱张、柳下惠、少连。 孔子说：“他的志向不屈抑，他的人身不受辱，这是伯夷、叔齐吧！” 又说“柳下惠、少连，他们志有所屈身有所辱，但言语合于伦理，行为经过思虑，也就这样罢了”。 又说“虞仲、夷逸，他们隐居而不谈世事，自身保持清白，废弃世事也合乎权变的道理。我则不同于这些人，我不是这样才可以，也不是这样就一定不可以”。
【YZG解释】
隐逸高尚的人有：伯夷、叔齐、虞仲、夷逸、朱张、柳下惠、少连。 孔子说：“他的志向不动摇，他的身份不受辱没，只有伯夷、叔齐才能做到吧！” 又说“柳下惠、少连，他们志有所屈身有所辱，但言语合于伦理，行为经过思虑，也不过如此吧”。 又说“虞仲、夷逸，他们隐居而不谈世事，自身保持清白，舍弃世事，也算合乎权变的道理。我则不同于这些人，我不是这样才可以，也不是这样就一定不可以”。
【English Translation】
The reclusive and noble people include Bo Yi, Shu Qi1, Yu Zhong, Yi Yi, Zhu Zhang, Liu Xia Hui2, and Shao Lian. Confucius said: “Only Bo Yi and Shu Qi can remain their aspiration unshaken, and keep their status not being humiliated!” He also said: “Liu Xia Hui and Shao Lian, although their aspirations were restricted and bodies also experienced humiliation, their words were still in line with ethics and actions were still well-considered. It’s nothing more than that.” He also said: “Yu Zhong and Yi Yi, they lived in seclusion and did not discuss worldly affairs, preserving their integrity and giving up worldly matters. It can also be considered in line with the principle of adaptability. I am different from these people. I am not necessarily like this, nor am I necessarily not like this.”
