This is from a passage in Mengzi's Fish I Desire, which reads, "Fish, I desire; bear's paw, also I desire. If you can't have both, you have to give up the fish and take the bear's paw. Life is what I desire; righteousness is what I desire. If I can't have both, I'll give up my life for righteousness. Life is also my desire, my desire is more than life, so I don't want to get it; death is also my evil, my evil is more than the dead, so I suffer from what I don't want. If one's desire is greater than life, why not use whatever one can get? If a man's evil is greater than that of the dead, why not use it for those who can be saved? From this point of view, there is no use of life, and from this point of view, there is no use of life, and from this point of view, there is no use of life, and from this point of view, there is no use of life. Therefore, the desire is more than the living, the evil is more than the dead. It is not only the wise who have this heart, but all people have it, and the wise can not lose the ear."

The translation of this sentence is:

The fish is what I want tirelessly, and the bear's paw is what I want day and night, and if I can't get both at the same time, I'd choose the fish over the bear's paw.

There is a missing paragraph here, it should be life, I want, righteousness, also I want, both can not be, give up life and take righteousness.

Life is what I want, and righteousness is what I want, and if I can't have both, I will give up my life for righteousness.
