《孟子·尽心章句下·第三十四节》
殿堂台阶数丈高，屋檐几尺宽，我得志，不这样做。面前食物摆满一丈见方的地方，侍候的姬妾几百人，我得志，不这样做。饮酒作乐，跑马打猎，随从的车子上千辆，我得志，不这样做。
堂高数仞，榱题数尺，我得志弗为也；食前方丈，侍妾数百人，我得志弗为也；般乐饮酒，驱骋田猎，后车千乘，我得志弗为也。
The hall steps are several feet high, and the eaves are several feet wide. If I succeed, I will not do so. The food in front of me was placed in a square foot, and hundreds of concubines served me. If I succeed, I will not do so. Drinking, making music, horse racing and hunting, with thousands of chariots following, if I succeed, I will not do so.
