鱼，我所欲也： 选自《孟子》 鱼，我所欲也；熊掌，亦我所欲也，二者不可得兼，舍鱼而取熊掌者也。生，亦我所欲也；义，亦我所欲也，二者不可得兼，舍生而取义者也。生亦我所欲，所欲有甚于生者，故不为苟得也；死亦我所恶，所恶有甚于死者，故患有所不辟也。如使人之所欲莫甚于生，则凡可以得生者，何不用也？使人之所恶莫甚于死者，则凡可以辟患者，何不为也？由是则生而有不用也，由是则可以辟患而有不为也。是故所欲有甚于生者，所恶有甚于死者，非独贤者有是心也，人皆有之，贤者能勿丧耳。 一箪食，一豆羹，得之则生，弗得则死。呼尔而与之，行道之人弗受；蹴尔而与之，乞人不屑也。 万钟则不辩礼义而受之。万钟于我何加焉？为宫室之美、妻妾之奉、所识穷乏者得我与？乡为身死而不受，今为宫室之美为之；乡为身死而不受，今为妻妾之奉为之；乡为身死而不受，今为所识穷乏者得我而为之，是亦不可以已乎？此之谓失其本心。
编辑本段内容简析
《孟子语录》一文用面对鱼和熊掌之间的抉择，比喻面对生命和大义之间的选择，孟子会毅然“舍生而取义者也”。这当中的“义”和文章最后的“此之谓失其本心”的“本心”都是指人的“羞恶之心”（按现在的通俗理解，可以理解为“廉耻之心”）。因为人只有拥有“羞恶之心”，才能分清哪些是道德底线可以承受的事，哪些是道德范围所不接纳的事，哪些是“所欲有甚于生”的事，这样才能不被“宫室之美”、“妻妾之奉”和“所识穷乏者得我”所诱惑，而像“不食嗟来之食”的人一样，内心有一种凛然的“义”。

Editor this section analysis
The continued quotations from penny with the fish and bear's paw the alternative of metaphor, face the life and in judgment of choosing between, mencius assume "homes born take righteous one". Among the "righteousness" and finally "this is called from its without" "without" is refers to person's "XiuEZhiXin" (according to the popular now understanding, can be understood as "corruption heart"). Because people only have "XiuEZhiXin", to distinguish what is moral bottom line can bear, what is moral is not accepted by the extent of the matter, what is "more than it's life", like this can not be "palace of beauty" and "the wives in" and "the general poor person I" temptation, and like "don't eat jie to it feed" like people, the heart have a awe-inspiring "righteousness".
