孔子语录英文
孔子语录英文1、子曰:“三人行,必有我师焉:则其善者而从之,其不善者而改之。
”Confucius said,”Whenever I walk with two other men,I can always find teachers in them.I can learn from their good qualities,and correct those faults in me which are like theirs.译文:孔子说:“别人的言行举止,必定有值得我学习的地方。
选择别人好的学习,看到别人缺点,反省自身有没有同样的缺点,如果有,加以改正。
2、曾子曰:“吾日三省吾身:为人谋而不忠乎?与朋友交而不信乎?传不习乎?”Zengzi said,"I examine myself three times daily:Have I been faithful in doing things for others?Have I been trustworthy in contacts with friends?Have I reviewed and practised what my teacher has taught me?"译文:每天都要作多次自我检讨:为人出谋献计做到忠心不二了吗?与朋友交往做到诚信了吗?老师所传授的东西经常温习了吗?3、子曰:“学而不思则罔,思而不学则殆。
”Confucius said,”Learning without thought is puzzled;thought without learning is dangerous.”译文:一味读书而不思考,就会因为不能深刻理解书本的意义而不能合理有效利用书本的知识,甚至会陷入迷茫。
而如果一味空想而不去进行实实在在地学习和钻研,则终究是沙上建塔,一无所得。
4、子曰:“学而时习之,不亦悦乎?有朋自远方来,不亦乐乎?人不知而不愠,不亦君子乎?”Confucius said,”Is it not a pleasure to learn and apply from time to time what is learned?Is it not a joy to see a friend who has come from a faraway place?Is it not gentlemanly to have no resentment when one is not properly understood?”译文:学习新知然后能做到时常温习它,这不是一件很令人愉快的事情吗?有朋友从远方来,这不是一件很令人快乐的事情吗?别人不了解我,但我的心里一点也感觉到生气、怨恨,这不正是君子之所为吗?5、子曰:“温故而知新。

为人谋,而不忠乎?与朋友交,而不信乎?传,不习乎?Every day I examine myself on these three points: in acting on behalf of others, have I always been loyal to their interests? In intercourse with my friends, have i always been true to my word? Have i failed to repeat the precepts that have been handed down to me?1.4 行有余力,则以学文。
If, when all that is done, he has any energy to spare, then let him study the politte arts.1.5 贤贤易色;事父母能竭其力,事君能致其身;与朋友交,言而有信。
虽曰未学,吾必谓之学矣。
A man who treats his betters as betters, wears an air of respect, who into serving father and mother knows how to put his whole strength, who in the service of his prince will lay down his life, who in intercourse with friends is true to his word--others may say of him that he still lacks education, but i for my part should certainly callhim an educated man.1.6 过则勿惮改。
