《史记·七十列传·伯夷列传》
再说，孔子七十名得意的学生里，只有颜渊被推重为好学，然而颜渊总是穷困缠身，连粗劣的食物都吃不饱，终于过早地死去了。
且七十子之徒，仲尼独荐颜渊为好学。然回也屡空，糟糠不厌，而卒蚤夭。
Besides, among Confucius's seventy proud students, only Yan Yuan was highly regarded for his studiousness, but Yan Yuan was always in poverty, could not even afford to eat coarse food, and finally died prematurely.
