《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪十一》
汲黯道： 我虽无法用言词说服陛下，但心里仍觉得陛下说得不对，希望陛下从今以后能够改正，不要认为我愚昧而不懂道理。 
黯曰： 臣虽不能以言屈陛下，而心犹以为非。愿陛下自今改之，无以臣为愚而不知理也。 
Ji An said: Although I am unable to convince Your Majesty with my words, I still feel that Your Majesty is wrong. I hope that Your Majesty will be able to change from now on and not consider me to be foolish and ignorant.
