Now in the royal court, ministers who can't assist the emperor or benefit the people all hold their positions and live without doing anything.

Jīn cháotíng dàchén, shàng bù néng kuāngzhǔ, xià wú yǐ yìmín, jiē shīwèisùcān.

今朝廷大臣，上不能匡主，下亡以益民，皆尸位素餐。

2021 February 21, 《为官避事平生耻》 (text), in 《平“语”近人——习近平喜欢的典故》, season 2, episode 4, CCTV-1, spoken by Meng Man, 5:59 from the start

Wèishénme Yuán Hàowèn yào shuō “dāngguān bìshì píngshēng chǐ”? Xí zǒngshūjì wèishénme yòu yào shuō “wéi guān bìshì píngshēng chǐ” ne? Yīnwèi zài wǒmen zhōngguórén kànlái a, zài qí wèi jiù děi móu qí zhèng, yīge rén yàoshì shīwèisùcān dehuà, běnshēn jiùshì wéi rén bùchǐ de yī jiàn shì.

為什麼元好問要說「當官避事平生恥」？習總書記為什麼又要說「為官避事平生恥」呢？因為在我們中國人看來啊，在其位就得謀其政，一個人要是尸位素餐的話，本身就是為人不齒的一件事。
