《晋书·列传·第四章》
他们虽然也受宠而任内外之官，与我没有不同，但还未能受到如此恩遇，我若超过他们，用什么去满足天下的期望，又怎么对今后稍有益处!
虽历位外内之宠，不异寒贱之家，而犹未蒙此选，臣更越之，何以塞天下之望，少益日月！
Although they are also favored and hold both internal and external offices, they are no different from me, but they have not yet received such great favor. If I surpass them, how can I fulfill the expectations of the world, and how can I benefit the future?
