立志篇 On Will

(一)三軍可奪帥也，匹夫不可奪志也。

An army may be deprived of its commanding officer,yey a man cannot be deprived of his will.

孔子說：“軍隊可以喪失主帥，一個人不可喪失志氣。”意思是三軍之勇在人，匹夫之志在己。故帥可

奪而志不可奪。如可奪，則亦不足謂之志矣。

(二)老者安之，朋友信之，少者懷之。

I wish for the old to live in peace and comfort,friends to trust each other and the young

to be taken good care of.

孔子說：“我願老年人得到安逸，朋友們相互信任，少年人得到關懷。”

(三)歲寒，然後知松柏之後凋也。

Only when the weather turns cold can we see that the leaves of pines and cypresses are

the last to wither and fall.

孔子說：“到了嚴寒的季節，才知道松柏樹是不落葉的。”正如“士窮見節義，世亂識忠臣。”

(四)士志於道，而恥惡衣惡食者，未足與議也。

It is not worthwhile to have discussions with a scholar who is willing to search for the

truth,but is ashamed of poor food and dress.

孔子說：“既有志於學習和追求真理卻又以貧困爲恥辱的讀書人，不值得與他討論真理。”

(五)朝聞道，夕死可矣。

If one learns the truth in the morning,one would never regret dying the same evening.

孔子說：“早晨學得真理，當天晚上死掉也不後悔。”意思是指“生命不息，學習不止。”

爲學篇  On Learning

Is it not a pleasure after all to practice in due time what one has learnt?

孔子說：“對學過的知識按時去實習它，不也是很好的事嗎?”

(二)學而不厭，悔人不倦。

Study hard and never feel contented,and never be tired of teaching others.

孔子說：“學習努力而不滿足，教導別人不知疲倦。”

(三)學而不思則罔，思而不學則殆。

It throws one into bewilderment to read without thinking whereas it places one in jeopardy

to think without reading.

孔子說：“只讀書不思考，就不會分析。只空想不讀書，就不明事理。”

(四)三人行，必有我師焉。擇其善者而從之，其不善者而改之。

When walking in the company of other men,there must be one I can learn something from.I shall

pick out his merits to follow and his shortcomings for reference to overcome my own.

孔子說：“有幾個人一起走路，其中便一定有值得我們學習的人。我選取那些優點而學習，看出那些缺點而檢查改正。”

(五)逝者如斯夫!不捨晝夜。

Standing by the side of a river,Confucius sighed,"Time is going on like this river,flowing away

endlessly day and night."

孔子站在河邊感嘆道：“過去的時光就像這河水一樣，日夜不停地流去。”

(六)知之者不如好之者，好之者不如樂之者。

than merely to be fond of it.
