色斯舉矣，翔而後集。曰：山梁雌雉，時哉！時哉！子路共之，三嗅而作。Seeing the look on their faces, the birds rose, circled, and then settled together. He said: The hen pheasants on the mountain bridge — how timely! How timely! Zilu bowed to them; they sniffed three times and flew off.
What this chapter says
一孔按：野鸡见人神色不善就飞起，盘旋看清了才落下。孔子叹山梁雌雉懂得时宜。子路向它拱手，它闻了几下飞走了。见几而作、审择所处，人也该如此。常有人问：山梁上的野鸡飞起又落下，孔子为什么叹“时哉时哉”？上面是一孔录的回答。
Yikonglu's reading of this chapter is in Chinese for now; the English version comes with the video.
白Plain Chinese
鸟见人神色不对，便飞起来，在空中盘旋察看，然后才落下停住。孔子说：山脊上那只雌野鸡，懂得时宜啊！懂得时宜啊！子路向它拱手，它振了几下翅膀，飞走了。（朱熹认为这一章末尾文字有缺漏，不宜勉强解说。）

| Commentary | Point | Relation | Confidence | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 钱穆《论语新解》 | differs | uncertain | 钱具体取雉见色飞、子路拱手使雉三惊视再飞，以见几知时释之；朱兼存供雉、戛鸣、狊张翅等说，并明有阙文不可强说。钱亦承认异解多，不作已证现场。 |
