　　练习4. 戎夷
　　*戎夷离开齐国到鲁国去。碰上天气酷寒，在鲁国城门关闭后才赶到城边，只好跟他的一个门徒在城外露天过夜。夜晚，天气越来越冷。戎夷便对那个门徒说：“您把衣给我穿，我就会活下来，我把衣给您穿，您就会活下来。我是治理国家的杰出人才，为了普天下的利益而爱惜自己的生命；您，是一个普通人，不必吝惜自己的生命，您把您的衣给我吧。”门徒说：“我这平庸的人，又怎能慷慨地把衣给您这个杰出的人穿呢？” 戎夷听了，叹息说：“唉，我的主张看来不能实现了！”说完，便把身上的衣脱下来给门徒穿。到了半夜，自己冻死了，却救活了这个门徒。说戎夷能够把一个时代治理好，那还没有证明；但是，他那想有利于人类的思想，算是达到不能再高的程度了！
