」師懼曰:「夫齊君治之不能,任之不肖,縱一人之欲,以虐萬夫之性,非所以立君也;其身死,自取之也。
That is no way for a ruler to make his position secure.
今君不愛萬夫之命,而傷一人之死,奚其過也?
His death was self-sought.
其臣已無道矣,其君亦不足惜也。」
But now you care nothing for the lives of the ten thousand people, but instead grieve for death of a single man. How mistaken that is!
Qi’s officers have assuredly acted wrongly, but Qi’s ruler is still not worth regretting.
