《宋史·列传·卷二百一十四》
如果皇帝不信任我，请把我的子女放在朝廷作为人质，自身出使金国，奉亲王返回。 同乡人每每笑他狂妄，阻止他而不能，欧阳澈就徒步走到皇帝临时居住的地方。
有如上不见信，请质子女于朝，身使穹庐，御亲王以归。 乡人每笑其狂，止之不可，乃徒步走行在。
If the emperor doesn't trust me, please put my children in the court as hostages and send me to the Jin Dynasty to welcome the prince back. Fellow villagers often laughed at him for being arrogant and stopped him but couldn't stop him, so Ouyang Che walked to the place where the emperor lived temporarily.
