7、 not depart from the Way. ” 子曰：“弟子入则孝，出则弟”Confucius said， “Young people should be filial to their parents at home and respectful to their brothers when they are with them. ” ”谨而信，泛爱众，而亲仁。“”They should be serious and trustworthy, love the populace extensively and be close to those who are humane. “ 行

11、, neglect of learning and practicing what has been learned, failure to follow what is right, and failure to correct what is wrongthese are my worries.” 子曰：“益有三乐，损有三乐。Confucius said，“Three kinds of pleasure are beneficial, and three kinds pleasure are harmful. “ 乐节礼乐，乐道人之善，乐多贤友，益矣。”The pleasure of be

12、ing regulated by the rites and music, the pleasure of praising other mens goodness, and the pleasure of having many virtuous friends are beneficial. “ 乐骄乐，乐佚游，乐宴乐，损矣。”The pleasure of being conceited, the pleasure of unrestrained wanderings, and the pleasure of indulging in eating and drinking are ha

13、rmful.” 子曰：“见贤思齐焉，见不贤而内自省也。”Confucius said，“When one sees a virtuous man, one should think of exerting oneself to be like him; when one sees someone who is not virtuous, one should examine onself.” 子曰：“学而时习之，不亦说乎？The Master said, To learn and at due times to repeat what one has learnt, is that not a

14、fter all a pleasure? 有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎？That friends should come to one from afar, is this not after all delightful? 人不知而不愠，不亦君子乎？”To remain unsoured even though ones merits are unrecognized by others, is that not after all what is expected of a gentleman? 曾子曰：“吾日三省吾身：Master Tseng said, Every day I examine

15、 myself on these three points:为人谋而不忠乎？in acting on behalf of others, have I always been loyal to their interests? 与朋友交而不信乎？In intercourse with my friends, have I always been true to my word? 传不习乎？”Have I failed to repeat the precepts that have been handed down to me? 有子曰：“礼之用，和为贵。先王之道，斯为美，小大由之。Maste

17、by ritual, things will still go amiss. 子曰：“吾十有五而志于学，三十而立，四十而不惑，The Master said, At fifteen I set my heart upon learning. At thirty, I had planted my feet firm upon the ground. At forty, I no longer suffered from perplexities. 五十而知天命，六十而耳顺，At fifty, I knew what were the biddings of Heaven. At sixty,

18、I heard them with docile ear. 七十而从心所欲，不逾矩。”At seventy, I could follow the dictates of my own heart; for what I desired no longer overstepped the boundaries of right.” 子曰：“其身正，不令而行；其身不正，虽令不从。”The Master said,“ If the ruler himself is upright all will go well even though he does not give orders. But i

19、f he himself is not upright, even though he gives orders, they will not be obeyed.” 子曰：“三人行，必有我师焉。The Master said,“ Even when walking in a party of no more than three I can always be certain of learning from those I am with.择其善者而从之，其不善者而改之。”There will be good qualities that I can select for imitatio

20、n and bad ones that will teach me what requires correction in myself.” 子曰：“出门如见大宾，Confucius said，When you go out of your home, behave as is you were meeting important guests; 使民如承大祭。when you are using the common peoples labor, behave as if you were conducting a solemn sacrificial ceremony. 己所不欲，勿施于人

24、fferent.” 子曰：“学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆。”Confucius said，“He who learns without thinking will be bewildered; he who thinks without learning will be in danger.” 子曰：“温故而知新，可以为师矣。”Confucius said，“He can be a teacher who finds what is new in reviewing what is old.” 子曰：“三军可夺帅也，匹夫不可夺志。”Confucius said，“Any army may be

25、deprived of its commanding officer, yet a man cannot be deprived of his will.” 子曰：“由，诲女知之乎？知之为知之，不知为不知，是知也。”Confucius said，“You, shall I teach you what it is to know? You know something if you know it, and you do not know something if you do not. That is what to know means.” 子曰：“君子讷于言而敏于行。”Confucius

26、 said，“The gentleman wishes to be slow in speech but quick in action.” 子曰：“君子耻其言而过其行。”Confucius said，“The gentleman considers it a shame to talk more than he does.” 子曰：“君子不以言举人，不以人废言。”Confucius said，“The gentleman does not recommend a man because of what he says, nor does he ignore what a man says b

27、ecause of his personality.” 子曰：“默而识之，学而不厌，诲人不倦，何有于我哉？”Confucius said，“To commit knowledge to memory quietly, to study tirelessly, and to enlighten others indefatigably these are not difficult for me.” 子曰：“见义不为，无勇也。”Confucius said，“It is cowardice not to dare to defend righteousness when it is endang

28、ered.” 子曰：“贤哉回也！The Master said, incomparable indeed was Hui! 一箪食，一瓢饮，在陋巷A handful of rice to eat, a gourdful of water to drink, living in a mean street.人不堪其忧，回也不改其乐。贤哉回也！”Others would have found it unendurably depressing, but to Huis cheerfulness it made no difference at all. Incomparable indeed wa

29、s Hui! 子曰；”巧言令色，鲜矣也。“The Maser said,“ find words and insinuating appearance are seldom associated with true virtue. 子曰：”逝者如斯夫，不舍昼夜。“The Maser said,“It passes on just like this, not ceasing day or night!” 非礼勿视，非礼勿听，非礼勿言，非礼勿动。Look not at what is contrary to propriety; listen not to what is contrary to

30、 propriety; speak not what is contrary to propriety; make no movement which is contrary to propriety. 唯女子与小人，为难养也。近之则不孙，远之则怨。Of all people, girls and servants are the most difficult to behave to. If you are familiar with them, they lose their humility. If you maintain a reserve towards them, they ar

32、己知，患不知人也。I will not be afflicted at mens not knowing me; I will be afflicted that I do not know men. 父在，观其志。父没，观其行。三年无改于父之道，可谓孝矣。While a mans father is alive, look at the bent of his will; when his father is dead, look at his conduct. If for three years he does not alter from the way of his father,

33、he may be called filial. 后生可畏，焉知来者之不如今也？A youth is to be regarded with respect.
