怵惕
- (literary) scared; alarmed
- 所以謂人皆有不忍人之心者,今人乍見孺子將入於井,皆有怵惕惻隱之心。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
- From: Mencius, c. 4th century BCE, translated based on James Legge's version

- When I say that all men have a mind which cannot bear to see the sufferings of others, my meaning may be illustrated thus: even now-a-days, if men suddenly see a child about to fall into a well, they will without exception experience a feeling of alarm and distress.
所以谓人皆有不忍人之心者,今人乍见孺子将入于井,皆有怵惕恻隐之心。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]
