自勝為強(qiáng)

　　Zi Xia said, "I had a victory, that is why I have gained weight."

　　"What victory do you refer to?" Zi Xia said, "When I immerged myself in reading books, Irevered(崇敬) the principles of the emperors and sages of the past. When I went out, I admired the life of nabodism. There was a fight between the two in my mind, and they came out even. So I got emaciated(瘦弱的). Now that the principles of the emperors and sages of the past have won victory, my mind has become more and more peaceful. So I have gained weight."

　　曾子見(jiàn)到子夏，問(wèn)道：“你怎么胖了?”

　　子夏說(shuō)：“我獲得了勝利，所以胖了。”

　　曾子問(wèn)：“你是指什么?”子夏說(shuō)：“我埋頭讀書(shū)時(shí)，敬仰先生至圣的道理，出門(mén)在外則羨慕富貴生活的快樂(lè)，兩者在心中交戰(zhàn)，難分勝負(fù)，所以瘦了下來(lái)?，F(xiàn)在，先王至圣的道理獲勝了，心中也日益安寧，所以人也胖了起來(lái)。”
