叔孫武叔毀仲尼。子貢曰：無以為也，仲尼不可毀也。他人之賢者，丘陵也，猶可逾也；仲尼，日月也，無得而逾焉。人雖欲自絕，其何傷於日月乎？多見其不知量也！Shusun Wushu disparaged Zhongni. Zigong said: It is no use; Zhongni cannot be disparaged. The worthiness of other men is like hills and mounds, which can still be climbed over. Zhongni is like the sun and moon, which no one can climb over. Though a man may wish to cut himself off from them, what harm does that do the sun and moon? It only shows he does not know his own measure.
白Plain Chinese
叔孙武叔毁谤孔子，子贡说，不要这样做，别人之贤如丘陵，尚可越过，孔子如日月，无从越过，有人想与他断绝关系，也伤不了日月，只显出不自知分量。
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 | 多为只、不知量为不自知分量；杨明从朱而不从皇疏圣人度量说。日月喻孔不可毁非真物理人身不伤。 | |
| 钱穆《论语新解》 | same | fairly sure | 同以仲尼如日月不可逾、诋毁者只是自绝于其道而不损师德；多训适、仅显不知量。钱与朱均据子贡答辞说明，非新的编年实录。 |
