　　大言不惭，为之也难
　　【拼音】dà yán bù cán
　　【原文】
　　《论语·宪问》：“子曰：‘其言之不怍，则为之也难。’”宋·朱熹注：“大言不惭，则无必为之志，而不自度其能否也。欲践其言，其不难哉！”
　　【注释】
　　怍（zuo）：惭愧。
　　【译文】
　　孔子说：“一个人说话不知惭愧，那他实践起来一定很困难。”
　　【读解】
　　说易行难。说者容易做者难。
　　所以，一个人说话一定要注意，大言不惭，夸夸其谈，把牛皮吹出去了却收不到口口，不能兑现，往往被人看白了。
　　孔子关于言与行关系的论述在《论语》中收得很多，其基本思想还是“敏于事而慎于言”，多做少说，先做后说。说到做到，不放空炮。
