雖久處朝行，歷官清顯，與邢卲、魏收、陽休之、崔劼、徐之才之徒比肩同列，諸人或談說經史，或吟詠詩賦，更相嘲戲，欣笑滿堂，惇不解劇談，又無學術，或竟坐杜口，或隱几而睡，深為勝流所輕。
Though he long walked the court ranks and held clear, eminent offices, standing shoulder to shoulder with Xing Shao, Wei Shou, Yang Xiuzhi, Cui Jie, Xu Zhicai, and the like—some discussed the classics and histories, some chanted poetry and rhapsodies, mocking one another in turn with laughter filling the hall—Dun did not understand lively talk and had no learning; sometimes he sat the whole time with sealed lips, sometimes hid behind a desk and slept, and was deeply slighted by the leading circles.
