子張曰：士見危致命，見得思義，祭思敬，喪思哀，其可已矣。Zizhang said: A scholar who, seeing danger, offers his life; seeing gain, thinks of what is right; at sacrifices, thinks of reverence; in mourning, thinks of grief — such a one will do.
白Plain Chinese
子张说，士人在危险时肯献出生命，遇可得之物想到义，祭祀时想到恭敬，居丧时想到悲哀，这样大概就可以了。
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》 | same | settled | 致命为临危授命，得思义、祭敬丧哀为四节；朱以一不至余不足观说明，不是只形式祭礼。 | |
| 钱穆《论语新解》 | same | fairly sure | 同以致命为授命、危得祭丧各思宜，为士立身大节；缺一则余未足全，非把临危只保命当明哲。 |
