《史记·七十列传·樗里子甘茂列传》
现在我的贤能比不上曾参，大王对我的信任也不如曾参的母亲信任曾参，可是怀疑我的决非只是三个人，我唯恐大王也象曾母投杼一样，怀疑我啊。
今臣之贤不若曾参，王之信臣又不如曾参之母信著参也，疑臣者非特三人，臣恐大王之投杼也。
Now my own virtue is inferior to Zeng Shen’s, and Your Majesty’s trust in me is not as great as the trust Zeng Shen’s mother had in him, yet there are far more than three people who doubt me. I fear that Your Majesty, like Zeng Shen’s mother, will also throw down your shuttle and doubt me.
