　　看《孔子》前，要先做点儿功课，尤其是其中最引人瞩目的孔子见南子。不知这段流传了几千年的故事，《孔子》怎么表现?周迅演绎的南子，又如何?
        　　“子见南子”
        　　子见南子，子路不说。夫子矢之曰：“予所否者，天厌之!天厌之!”
        　　The Master went to see Nan Zi. Zi-lu was displeased. The Master swore, “If
I have done anything improper, may Heaven’s curse be on me, may Heaven’s curse
be on me! ”(刘殿爵先生译)
        　　这是《论语·雍也》篇中的文字。朱熹《论语集注》有详解：“南子，卫灵公之夫人，有淫行。孔子至卫，南子请见，孔子辞谢，不得已而见之。盖古者仕于其国，有见其小君之礼。而子路以夫子见此淫乱之人为辱，故不悦。”
        　　When the Master went to see Nan-tzu, Tzu-lu was not pleased. Whereupon the
Master made a solemn declaration concerning his visit, saying, Whatsoever I have
done amiss, may Heaven avert it, may Heaven avert it!(Arthur Waley译)
