The video for this chapter is still in production. For now this page gives the original text, the facsimile page, a working translation and the commentary; the full reading follows when the video is out.
子貢曰:君子亦有惡乎?子曰:有惡:惡稱人之惡者,惡居下流而訕上者,惡勇而無禮者,惡果敢而窒者。曰:賜也亦有惡乎?惡徼以為知者,惡不孫以為勇者,惡訐以為直者。Zigong said: Does the gentleman also have things he hates? The Master said: He does. He hates those who speak of others' faults; he hates those in low places who slander those above; he hates the brave who lack ritual; he hates the bold who are obstinate. He said: Ci, do you also have things you hate? I hate those who take prying for wisdom, those who take insolence for courage, and those who take exposing others for honesty.
白Plain Chinese
子贡问君子是否也有厌恶的人,孔子说有,厌恶宣扬别人坏处的人、在下毁谤在上的人、有勇无礼的人、果断却闭塞不通的人,又问子贡厌恶什么。子贡说,厌恶把窥察别人的私事当作聪明、把不谦逊当勇敢、把揭人隐私当正直的人。
Draft plain-Chinese rendering following Zhu Xi; it will be checked when the chapter is covered.

Compared with Zhu Xi
| Commentary | Point | Relation | Confidence | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 杨伯峻《论语译注》 | 下流 | word sense | settled | 杨删流字为衍文,朱留正文而释下讪上;徼为智、讦为直之伪均可恶,不是反对揭一切过失。 |
| 钱穆《论语新解》 | same | fairly sure | 同以称恶、讪上、勇无礼、果而窒为所恶;子贡的徼知、不逊作勇、讦作直亦是似德害真,恶人不离义理。 |
