《孟子·滕文公上》3A.1：舜何人也，予何人也
孟子借颜渊的话说明，道只有一条：舜不是另一个物种，只要肯做，人与圣贤之间并没有不可逾越的本体鸿沟。这章也适合放回民生、教育与制度起点这一问题链中理解。
滕文公为世子，将之楚，过宋而见孟子。孟子道性善，言必称尧、舜。世子自楚反，复见孟子。孟子曰：「世子疑吾言乎？夫道一而已矣。成覸谓齐景公曰：『彼丈夫也，我丈夫也，吾何畏彼哉？』颜渊曰：『舜何人也？予何人也？有为者亦若是。』公明仪曰：『文王我师也，周公岂欺我哉？』今滕绝长补短，将五十里也，犹可以为善国。《书》曰：『若药不瞑眩，厥疾不瘳。』」
英文参考译文
When the prince, afterwards duke Wen of Teng, had to go to Chu, he went by way of Song, and visited Mencius. Mencius discoursed to him how the nature of man is good, and when speaking, always made laudatory reference to Yao and Shun. When the prince was returning from Chu, he again visited Mencius. Mencius said to him, 'Prince, do you doubt my words? The path is one, and only one. Cheng Gan said to duke Jing of Qi, "They were men. I am a man. Why should I stand in awe of them?" Yan Yuan said, "What kind of man was Shun? What kind of man am I? He who exerts himself will also become such as he was." Gong Ming Yi said, "King Wen is my teacher. How should the duke of Zhou deceive me by those words?" Now, Teng, taking its length with its breadth, will amount, I suppose, to fifty li. It is small, but still sufficient to make a good State. It is said in the Book of History, "If medicine do not raise a commotion in the patient, his disease will not be cured by it."'

核心问题
为什么孟子要反复引用“舜何人也，予何人也”？
直接回答
因为他要打掉那种把圣贤放到神话高台、从而替自己开脱的心理。若舜也是人，那么真正需要解释的就不是“我为何做不到”，而是“我为何不肯这样做”。
第一性原理
成长最大的障碍，常不是能力不足，而是先把典范设定成与自己无关的存在，好让自己免于承担改变责任。
为什么重要
这章直接服务“舜何人也予何人也”“can ordinary people become sages”这类高意图搜索，也是性善论转向实践可能性的关键桥梁。

引用提示
不要把它读成廉价励志。孟子真正做的，是把圣贤从神话拉回人间，从而把责任重新压到“有为者”自己身上。
