《北史·列传·卷五十一》
只是寻求得不勤奋，选择得不审慎，或授予的官职不得其所，任用的职务不能使他们施展才华，所以才推说没有人才。
但求之不勤，择之不审，或授之不得其所，任之不尽其材，故云无耳。
It is only because the search is not diligent, the selection is not careful, or the official positions are not properly awarded, and the positions of employment cannot allow them to display their talents, so it is said that there is no talent.
