《汉书·传·贾邹枚路传》
所以审理刑狱的官吏都希望受审讯的人被处死，并不是因为他们憎恨这些人，而是因为他们保全自己的办法在于让这些人去死。
故治狱之吏皆欲人死，非憎人也，自安之道在人之死。
Therefore, officials who try criminal cases all wish the people they try to be put to death, not because they hate these people, but because the only way they can keep themselves safe is to let those people die.
