辜鸿铭
理雅各和辜鸿铭译本比较研究
1.而不愠，不 亦君子乎？”
5. 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？”
理雅各译本：
The philosopher Tsang said, "I daily examine myself on three points：whether, in transacting business for others, I may have been not faithful;一whether, in intercourse with friends, I may have been not sincere; 一whether I may have not mastered and practiced the instructions of my teachers."
辜鸿铭译本：
Confucius remarked, "A wise and good man, in matters of food, should never seek to indulge his appetite; in lodging, he should not be too solicitous of comfort. He should be diligent in business and careful in speech. He should seek for the company of men of virtue and learning, in order to profit by their lessons and example. In this way he may become a man of real culture."
辜鸿铭译本：
Confucius remarked, "At fifteen I had made up my mind to give myself up to serious studies. At thirty, I had formed my opinions and judgment. At forty I had no more doubts. At fifty I understood the truth in religion. At sixty I could understand whatever I heard without exertion. At seventy I could follow whatever my heart desired without transgressing the law."
tr. D. C. Lau
美国总统奥巴马在上海与中国青年对话
问：总统先生，下午好。我来自同济大学。 我想引用孔子的一句话：“有朋自远方来， 不亦乐乎”。在《论语》中有一句名言叫 “和而不同”。中国倡导一个和谐世界。我 们知道美国形成了一种以多元化为特点的文 化，请问您的这届政府会采取哪些措施来建 设一个由不同文化组成的多元化世界？您会 采取哪些措施尊重其他国家不同的文化和历 史？我们将来能进行哪些合作？
辜鸿铭译本：
Confucius remarked, "He who rules the people, depending upon the moral sentiment, is like the Pole-star, which keeps its place while all the other stars revolve round it."
3. 子曰:“君子食无求饱，居无求安，敏于事 而慎于言，就有道而正焉，可谓好学也已。”
理雅各译本：
The Master said, "He who aims to be a man of complete virtue in his food does not seek to gratify his appetite, nor in his dwelling place does he seek the appliances of ease; he is earnest in what he is doing, and careful in his speech; he frequents the company of men of principle that he may be rectified: such a person may be said indeed to love to learn."
温故而知新，可以为师矣。
译文一
The Master said：“If a man keeps cherishing his old knowledge， so as continually to be acquiring new， he may be a teacher of others.”
China advocates a harmonious world. We know that the United States develops a culture that features diversity. I want to know, what will your government do to build a diversified world with different cultures? What would you do to respect the different cultures and histories of other countries? And what kinds of cooperation we can conduct in the future?
4. 子曰:“为政以德，譬如北辰，居其所而 众星共之。”
理雅各译本：
The Master said, "He who exercises government by means of his virtue may be compared to the north polar star, which keeps its place and all the stars turn towards it.
有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎
Is it not delightful to have friends coming from far quarters？ —— James Legge 理雅各
A greater pleasure still it is when friends of congenial minds come from afar to seek you because of your attainments. —— Ku Hweng-Ming 辜鸿铭
2. 子曰:“吾十有五而志于学，三十而立， 四十而不惑，五十而知天命，六十而耳顺， 七十而从心所欲，不逾矩。”
理雅各译本
The Master said, "At fifteen, I had my mind bent on learning. "At thirty, I stood firm. "At forty, I had no doubts. "At fifty, I knew the decrees of Heaven. "At sixty, my ear was an obedient organ for the reception of truth. "At seventy, I could follow what my heart desired, without transgressing what was right."

Is it not a joy to have friends come from afar? —— D. C. Lau
That friends should come to one from afar, is this not after all delightful?
理雅各译本：
The Master said, "Is it not pleasant to learn with a constant perseverance and application？ "Is it not delightful to have friends coming from distant quarters？ "Is he not a man of complete virtue, who feels no discomposure though men may take no note of him？"
辜鸿铭译本：
Confucius remarked, "It is indeed a pleasure to acquire knowledge and as you go on acquiring, to put into practice what you have acquired.
