【Biography】
二十三年春，宋景曹卒。季康子使冉有吊，且送葬，曰：“敝邑有社稷之事，使肥与有职竞焉，是以不得助执绋，使求従舆人。曰：‘以肥人得备弥甥也，有不腆先人之产马，使求荐诸夫人之宰，其可以称旌繁乎？’”
In the spring of the twenty-third year, Cao Jing of Song Dynasty died. Ji Kangzi asked Ran to mourn and bury him, and said: "Our city has the affairs of the country, and fat people compete with those who have positions. Therefore, they cannot help to hold the throne, and Qiu is a mistress. He said: 'The fat man has to prepare a nephew. If there is a horse from an ancestor who is not fat, and Qiu recommends the ladies to be the slaughterer, can he be called Jing Fan?'"
二十三年春季，宋国的景曹死了。季康子派冉有去吊唁，并且送葬，说：“敝邑有国家大事，使肥事务繁忙，因此不能帮着送葬，特派求前来跟随在舆人之后，说：‘由于肥忝居远房外甥，有不丰厚的先人的马匹，派求奉献给夫人的家宰，也许能和夫人的马匹相称吧！’”
In the spring of the twenty-third year, Jing Cao of the Song Dynasty died. Ji Kangzi sent Ran You to express his condolences and attend the funeral, saying: "We have important national affairs in our city, and Fei is busy with affairs, so he cannot help with the funeral. He specially sent Qiu to follow the ministers, saying: 'Since Fei is a distant nephew and has horses from his ancestors who are not rich, I sent Qiu to dedicate the butcher to my wife, who may be able to match my wife's horses!'"
夏六月，晋荀瑶伐齐。高无邳帅师御之。知伯视齐师，马骇，遂驱之，曰：“齐人知余旗，其谓余畏而反也。”乃垒而还。将战，长武子请卜。知伯曰：“君告于天子，而卜之以守龟于宗祧，吉矣，吾又何卜焉？且齐人取我英丘，君命瑶，非敢耀武也，治英丘也。以辞伐罪足矣，何必卜？”
In the sixth month of summer, Jin Xun Yao attacked Qi. Gao Wupi, the commander-in-chief, guarded him. Uncle Zhi looked at Qi's troops and his horses were frightened, so he drove them away and said: "The people of Qi know Yu Banner, so he said Yu was afraid and turned against him." He then turned around and returned. During the battle, Chang Wuzi asked for divination. Zhibo said: "You tell the emperor and divination to keep the tortoise in the ancestral home. It's auspicious. How can I divulge? And the people of Qi have taken my Yingqiu, and you ordered Yao. If you don't dare to show off your military power, you can rule Yingqiu. It's enough to attack the crime with words, so why divination?"
夏季，六月，晋国的荀瑶攻打齐国，高无邳率军抵御。荀瑶观察齐军的虚实，马受惊，就索性驱马前进，说：“齐国人已经看到我的旗帜，如果不向前进，恐怕要说我害怕而回去了。”到达齐军的营垒以后才回去。将要作战，长武子请求占卜。荀瑶说：“国君报告了天子，在宗庙里已经用龟占卜过，卦像很吉利，我又占卜什么呢？况且齐国人占领了我们的英丘。国君命令瑶，不是敢于炫耀武力，而是为了治理英丘。用正当的理由讨伐有罪者就足够了，何必占卜？”
In summer, in June, Xun Yao of Jin State attacked Qi State, and Gao Wupi led his army to resist. Xun Yao observed the strength of the Qi army. When his horse was frightened, he simply drove his horse forward and said, "The people of Qi have seen my flag. If they don't move forward, they may say that I am afraid and go back." After arriving at the Qi army's camp, he went back. When a battle was about to begin, Changwuzi asked for divination. Xun Yao said: "The king reported to the emperor that he had used a tortoise for divination in the ancestral temple. The hexagrams were very auspicious. What should I divination for? Besides, the Qi people occupied our Yingqiu. The king ordered Yao not to show off his force, but to govern Yingqiu. It is enough to attack the guilty with legitimate reasons. Why divination?"
壬辰，战于犁丘。齐师败绩，知伯亲禽颜庚。
Renchen fought at Liqiu. When the Qi army was defeated, I knew that my uncle was a close relative of Yan Geng.
二十六日，在犁丘作战，齐军大败，荀瑶亲自捉住了颜庚。
On the 26th, during the battle at Liqiu, the Qi army was defeated. Xun Yao personally captured Yan Geng.
秋八月，叔青如越，始使越也。越诸鞅来聘，报叔青也。
In autumn and August, my uncle was as young as Yue, and he began to make Yue. The martingale from Yue came to hire him and reported to his uncle Qing.
秋季，八月，叔青到越国去，这是第一次出使越国。越国的诸鞅前来鲁国聘问，这是回报叔青的访问。
