一孔录子食於有喪者之側，未嘗飽也。子於是日哭，則不歌。What this chapter says
一孔按：不是守规矩，是心里真哀伤：挨着办丧事的人吃不出味道，吊丧哭过的那天唱不出来。今例：参加完葬礼开车回家，音乐一响伸手就关了。常有人问“这么小的事，为什么要记下来”，上面是一孔录的回答。
白Plain Chinese
孔子在服丧的人身旁用饭，从没吃饱过。哪一天他吊丧哭过，那天就不唱歌。
A plain modern-Chinese rendering following Yikonglu's reading.

Compared with Zhu Xi
| Commentary | Point | Relation | Confidence | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 杨伯峻《论语译注》 | same | settled | 杨7.9：同解：临丧哀而食不饱；朱与哭而不歌合章，杨分章，不是另立禁食之礼；杨7.10：同解：当天吊哭仍有余哀故不歌；朱释哭为吊哭，与前条合章，杨另立章并未说终身不歌。 | |
| 钱穆《论语新解》 | same | fairly sure | 同从临丧恻隐余哀解释不饱、不歌，钱明确随朱注合两事为一章，并分哀可余与怒不可迁。 |
