《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪二十六》
臣王嘉、臣贾延，无才无能不称职，虽死仍有余责，明知顺从陛下的旨意，不违逆陛下，可以暂时保全身家性命。
臣嘉，臣延，材驽不称，死有馀责，知顺指不迕，可得容身须臾。
Your servants, Wang Jia and Jia Yan, are without talent or ability, and are not competent for our offices, and even if we die, we will have still failed to carry out our duties, and we know full well that if we follow Your Majesty's orders, and do not go against Your Majesty, then we may be able to keep our lives and families safe for the moment.
