子貢曰：君子之過也，如日月之食焉：過也，人皆見之；更也，人皆仰之。Zigong said: The faults of the gentleman are like eclipses of the sun and moon. When he errs, everyone sees it; when he corrects it, everyone looks up to him.
白Plain Chinese
子贡说，君子的过失像日食月食，有过失，人人都看得见，改正了，人人又仰望他。

- 子贡曰：君子之过 Elsewhere in the Analects：陈司败问：昭公知礼乎？孔子曰：知礼。孔子退，揖巫马期而进之，曰：吾闻君子不党，君子亦党乎？君取于吴为同姓，谓之吴孟子。君而知礼，孰不知礼？巫马期以告。子曰：丘也幸，苟有过，人必知之。（《论语》集注分章7.30（底本第 103 页））
家Other commentaries
Our base text is Zhu Xi's Collected Commentaries (above). Here are other commentaries side by side: for old commentaries, the first line of the sub-commentary with a link to the woodblock scan; for modern editions, one short quoted translation for comparison. The “compared with Zhu Xi” notes are written by Yikonglu, not quoted.

Compared with Zhu Xi
| Commentary | Point | Relation | Confidence | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 杨伯峻《论语译注》 | same | settled | 君子过如日月食、人皆见，改而人仰；更读平声为改，不是改换身份掩饰。 | |
| 钱穆《论语新解》 | same | fairly sure | 同以君子过如日月蚀显见、改则众人仍仰，重不文过而能更；不是说德位高便不容一过或过自有美。 |
