孔子说 英文版(下).docVIP

礼之用，和为贵。 有子说：“礼的应用，以遇事和顺为可贵。” In conducting the rites, seeking harmony is the most valuable principle. 里仁为美，择不处仁，焉得知？ 孔子说：“选择住处要选在风俗淳美的地方，否则怎么能算明智呢？” One should choose to dwell in such a place where there are men of benevolence. Otherwise, how can one be said to be wise? 名不正，则言不顺。 孔子说：“名分不正，说话就不能顺理成章。” If names are not rectified, what is said will not sound reasonable. 其身正，不令而行；其身不正，虽令不从。 孔子说：“执政者行为端正，不发命令老百姓也会跟着走；执政者行为不端正，纵三令五申老百姓也不会听从。” If the ruler acts properly, the common people will obey him without being ordered to; if the ruler does not act properly, the common people will not obey him
