《汉书·传·贾谊传》
现在匈奴对汉朝肆意侮辱，侵扰掠夺，不敬到了极点，成为天下的祸害，没有止境，而汉王朝每年却还向它赠送大量的金钱、丝绵和各种彩色的丝织品。
今匈奴嫚侮侵掠，至不敬也，为天下患，至亡已也，而汉岁致金絮采缯以奉之。
Now the Xiongnu wantonly insult the Han Dynasty, invade, plunder, and do not respect it to the extreme. They have become the scourge of the world and have no end in sight. However, the Han Dynasty still sends them large amounts of money, silk, and colorful silk fabrics every year.
