《宋史·列传·卷一百六十》
现在士大夫都有苟且升官的心思，他们的政绩也不显著，才能还小时，而心思已经跑到担任台阁上了，国家不稍微加以扶持和整顿，将有很大的弊病。 李孟传又说： 武举和士兵比武时，专门取那些力气大的，这样在战场上难以做到一定取得胜利。
今士大夫皆有苟进之心，治功未优，功能尚薄，而意已驰骛于台阁，不稍有以扶持正饬之，其敝将甚。 又言： 武举及军士比试，专取其力，临敌难以必胜。
Now scholar-bureaucrats all have the intention of seeking promotion, their political achievements are not remarkable, their talents are still small, and their minds have already run to serving in the Taiwan Pavilion. If the country does not give a little support and rectification, there will be great弊病. Li Mengchuan said again: When the martial arts and soldiers compete, they specifically select those who are strong, so it is difficult to achieve a certain victory on the battlefield.
