大公无私
大公无私
春秋时，晋平公有一次问祁黄羊说：“南阳县缺个县长，你看，应该派谁去当比较合适呢？”
祁黄羊毫不迟疑地回答说：“叫解狐去，最合适了。他一定能够胜任的！”
平公惊奇地又问他：“解狐不是你的仇人吗？你为什么还要推荐他呢！”
祁黄羊说：“你只问我什么人能够胜任，谁最合适；你并没有问我解狐是不是我的仇人呀！”
于是，平公就派解狐到南阳县去上任了。解狐到任后。替那里的人办了不少好事，大家都称颂他。
过了一些日子，平公又问祁黄羊说：“现在朝廷里缺少一个法官。你看，谁能胜任这个职位呢？”祁黄羊说：“祁午能够胜任的。”
平公又奇怪起来了，问道：“祁午不是你的儿子吗？你怎么推荐你的儿子，不怕别人讲闲话吗？”
祁黄羊说：“你只问我谁可以胜任，所以我推荐了他；你并没问我祁午是不是我的儿子呀！”
平公就派了祁午去做法官。祁午当上了法官，替人们办了许多好事，很受人们的欢迎与爱戴。
孔子听到这两件事，十分称赞祁黄羊。孔子说：
“祁黄羊说得太好了！他推荐人，完全是拿才能做标准，不因为他是自己的仇人，心存偏见，便不推荐他；也不因为他是自己的儿子，怕人议论，便不推荐。像黄祁羊这样的人，才够得上说“大公无私”啦！”
大公无私 英文
Perfectly Fair and Impartial
Chi Huang-yang lived during the Spring and Autumn Period (chūn qiū 春秋时期,770- 476 BC0. When the king asked him who he thought would be a suitable magistrate for Nan-yang Country, Chi Huang-yang answered, "Shie Hu would definitely do a very good job." The king was very surprised at this answer, and asked him, "Isn't Shie Hu your enemy? How come you're suggesting that he do the job?" Chi Huang-yang replied, "You only asked me who would make a suitable magistrate for Nan-yang Country; you didn't ask me whether or not Shie Hu was my enemy!" So the king sent Shie Hu to be the magistrate of Nan-yang Country, and as expected,he did many good things for the people three.
When Confucius heard about this, he praised Chi Huang-yang highly. When recommending a person for a job, Chi Huang-yang considered only that person's ability. Even if a person was his enemy, he would still make known that person's good qualities. Chi Huang-yang was a perfectly fair and impartial person.
