論語精選一百句

論語學而篇第一

一、子曰：「學而時習之，不亦說乎？有朋自遠方來，

不亦樂乎？人不知而不慍，不亦君子乎？」THE MASTER said: “In learning and straightway

practising is there not pleasure also? When friends

gather round from afar do we not rejoice? Whom

lack of fame cannot vex is not he a gentleman?”

二、子曰：「巧言令色，鮮矣仁。」The Master said: “Honeyed words and flattering looks seldom speak of love.”

三、子曰：「君子食無求飽，居無求安，敏於事而慎

於言，就有道而正焉：可謂好學也已。」The Master said:

“A gentleman who is not a greedy eater, nor a lover of ease at home, who is earnest in deed and careful of speech, who seeks the righteous and profits by them,

may be called fond of learning.”

四、子曰：「不患人之不己知，患不知人也。」The Master said: “Not to be known should not grieve you: grieve that ye know not men.”

五、曾子曰：「吾日三省吾身：為人謀，而不忠乎？

與朋友交，而不信乎？傳，不習乎？」Tseng-tzu said: “Thricedaily I ask myself: ‘Have I been unfaithful in dealing for others? Have I been untrue to friends? Do

I practise what I preach?’”

六、曾子曰：「慎終追遠，民德歸厚矣。」Tseng-tzu said: “Respect death and recall forefathers, the good

in men will again grow sturdy.”

論語為政篇第二

七、子曰：「詩三百，一言以蔽之，曰思無邪。」The Master said: “To sum up the three hundred songs in a word, they are free from evil thought.”

八、子曰：「為政以德。譬如北辰，居其所，而眾星

共之。」THE MASTER said: “In governing, cleave to

good; as the north star holds his place, and the

multitude of stars r evolve upon him.”

九、子曰：「吾十有五而志於學；三十而立；四十而

不惑；五十而知天命；六十而耳順；七十而從心所欲，

不踰矩。」The Master said: “At fifteen, I was bent on study; at thirty, I could stand; at forty, doubts ceased;

at fifty, I understood the laws of Heaven; at sixty, my

ears obeyed me; at seventy, I could do as my heart lusted, and never swerve from right.”

十、子游問孝。子曰；「今之孝者，是謂能養。至於

犬馬，皆能有養。不敬，何以別乎？」

The Master said: “To

he keep his father and mother. But we keep both our dogs and horses, and unless we honour parents, is it

有酒食，先生饌，曾是以為孝乎？」

私，亦足以發，回也，不愚！」The Master said: “If I talk all day to Hui, like a dullard, he never stops me.

But when he is gone, if I pry into his life, I find he can

do what I say. No, Hui is no dullard.”

十三、子曰：「溫故而知新，可以為師矣。」The Master said: “Who keeps the old akindle and adds new knowledge is fitted to be a teacher.”

十四、子曰：「學而不思則罔，思而不學則殆。」The Master said: “Study without thought is vain: thought without study is dangerous.”

十五、子曰：「人而無信，不知其可也。大車無輗，

小車無軏，其何以行之哉？」The Master said: “Without truth I know not how man can live. A cart

without a crosspole, a carriage without harness, how

could they be moved?”
