国风·鄘风·相 鼠

相鼠有皮，人而无仪！人而无仪，不死何为？
相鼠有齿，人而无止！人而无止，不死何俟？
相鼠有体，人而无礼！人而无礼，胡不遄死？
The Rat
The rat has skin，you see?
Man must have decency. If he lacks decency，
Worse than death it would be.

The rat has teeth，you see?
Man must have dignity.
lf he lacks dignity,
For what but death waits he?

The rat has limbs，you see?
Man must have propriety.
Without propriety,
It's better dead to be.
