《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪四十五》
我胆敢在忌讳讲真话的朝廷，说出不合时宜的道理，犹如冰霜见到太阳，一定会被消灭；我刚刚为天下人的可悲而感到悲伤，现在天下人也要为我的愚昧困惑而悲伤。 
臣敢吐不时之义于讳言之朝，犹冰霜见日，必至消灭。臣始悲天下之可悲，今天下亦悲臣之愚惑也。 
I dare to speak the truth in the court that abhors different opinions, and to speak of untimely principles. It is like frost encountering the sun, and I will definitely be destroyed. I have just been sorrowful for the sorrow of the people of the world, and now the people of the world must be sorrowful for my foolish perplexity.
