《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪四十七》
我寝不能安，食不能饱，真正忧虑的是，陛下的左右亲近，越发受到宠信，忠言却越发稀少，内患一天比一天严重，外忧一天比一天加深。
臣寝不能寐，食不能饱，实忧左右日亲，忠言日疏，内患渐积，外难方深。
I can't sleep peacefully or eat my fill, and what truly worries me is that your Majesty's close attendants gain more and more favour while outspoken advice becomes increasingly rare, that the internal trouble grows more serious with each passing day, and the external threat worsens.
