吾与回言终日章

论语 > 为政篇

原文

子曰：“吾与回言，终日不违，如愚。退而省其私，亦足以发，回也不愚。”

英译

Confucius commented, "Hui stays without dispute the whole day long when I have discussion with him, as if he is slow in response. However, after the discussion closes, I discover that in his personal life, not only does he fully understand what I teach him, but also is he able to develop ideas of his own. Not a bit is Hui blunted in responsiveness after all."
