第十三章

宠辱若惊，贵大患若身。何谓宠辱若惊？宠为下，得之若惊，失之若惊，是谓宠辱若惊。何谓贵大患若身？吾所以有大患者，为吾有身，及吾无身，吾有何患！故贵以身为天下，若可寄天下；爱以身为天下，若可托天下。

Favor and disgrace cause alarm; regard great trouble as you regard your own body. What does it mean that favor and disgrace cause alarm? Favor is inferior; receiving it causes alarm, losing it causes alarm — this is what is meant. What does it mean to regard great trouble as your body? The reason I have great trouble is that I have a body. If I had no body, what trouble would I have? Therefore, one who values the world as his own body can be entrusted with the world; one who loves the world as his own body can be given the world.

白话译文

得宠和受辱都会使人惊慌，重视大祸患就像重视自己的身体一样。为什么说得宠和受辱都令人惊慌呢？宠爱本身就是低下的，得到它会惊慌，失去它也会惊慌，这就叫宠辱若惊。为什么说重视大祸患如同重视自己的身体？我之所以有大祸患，是因为我有这个身体，如果我没有了身体，我还有什么祸患呢！所以能够像珍贵自身一样珍贵天下的人，才可以把天下寄托给他；能够像爱惜自身一样爱惜天下的人，才可以把天下托付给他。
