Separating Public and Private Affairs | 公私分明

English Original

Jie Hu's personal enemy, upon learning that Jie Hu had recommended him for a position, assumed Jie Hu no longer harbored hatred. He went to Jie Hu's mansion seeking reconciliation.

To his surprise, Jie Hu drew his bow and aimed an arrow at him, saying, "I recommended you for the sake of the nation's interests because you are the right person for the post. Although you are my personal enemy, I will not let that affect your service to the country or harm the national interest. Personally, I still despise you. Leave my house at once!"


中文翻译

解狐的仇人得知自己被重用是因为解狐的推荐后,以为解狐已消除对自己的怨恨,便前往解狐府上,意图和好。

不料,解狐却拉开弓瞄准了他,说道:“我推荐你是为了国家利益,因为你适合这个职位。虽然你是我的私敌,但我不会让个人恩怨影响你为国效力、损害国家利益。就我个人而言,我依然憎恨你。立刻离开我家!”
