双语清廉故事(7):大义退玉璧

发布日期:2023-10-17  点击:


西汉时期,朝中最得势的将军李广利千方百计企图拉拢司马迁,派人送他一对珍贵的玉璧,司马迁之女对这对晶莹剔透的玉璧很是喜欢,司马迁却劝导女儿:“璧贵在无瑕,人也应如此。如果我收下这玉璧,心灵上就会留下斑污,并要受制于人。”女儿听了父亲的话,爽快地同意父亲将玉璧退了回去。

In the Western Han Dynasty, Li Guangli was the most powerful general in the court. In order to ingratiate himself with Sima Qian, the court historian, Li sent him a pair of precious jade. Sima Qian’s daughter liked the glittering and translucent jade very much. However, Sima Qian said: “The jades value lies in flawlessness, so do people. If I accept this jade, it will leave a stain on my soul and I’ll be controlled by others.” The daughter listened to her father’s words and readily agreed with her father to return the jade.
