《史记·七十列传·郦生陆贾列传》
听到官吏已到自己家门口，平原君就想自杀，他的几个儿子和来负责逮捕他的官员都说： 事情的结果究竟如何，现在还不清楚，你为什么要这样老早地自杀呢？ 
闻吏至门，平原君欲自杀。诸子及吏皆曰： 事未可知，何早自杀为？ 
When he heard that the officers had come to his house, the Lord of Pingyuan thought about committing suicide, but several of his sons and the officers who had come to arrest him said: We don't know how things will turn out yet, why do you want to kill yourself so early?
