Yan Yuan said: "I hope that there is no good cut, and I will get it for nothing." Lutz said, "I want to hear about Zizi's ambition." Confucius said, "Old people are safe, friends believe, and young people are pregnant."

Translation:

Yan Yuan and Luz stood beside Confucius. Confucius said, "Why don't we talk about our own aspirations?" Lutz said: "I am willing to take out my own chariots, horses, clothes and fur robes and use them with my friends." If they wear out, I don't complain. "

Yan Yuan said: "I am willing not to brag about my strengths and declare my contributions." Lutz said to Confucius, "I am willing to listen to your heart." Confucius said: "(My ambition is) to reassure the elderly, let my friends trust me and let the young children be taken care of."
