《资治通鉴·晋纪·晋纪十六》
况且北方的寇贼游魂，在窥测我们的可乘之机，一旦表现出虚弱，奔窜至蛮越之地，无论从声名和实际考虑，都不是好办法。
且北寇游魂，伺我之隙，一旦示弱，窜于蛮越，求之望实，惧非良计。
Moreover, the bandits and homeless ghosts of the north, are looking to take advantage of our situation. Once we display weakness, to flee to a barbarous and remote land, is not a good idea, from neither a reputation nor practical standpoint.
