“和而不同”与“文明共存” ‘Harmonious yet different’ and ‘cultural co-existence’ 练习译文标准译文 翻译技巧说明 孔子的“仁政”和“和而不同”思想，对于一个国家的治国者，不能说是没有意义的，对于像美国这样发达国家的领导人来说由其如此。 Concepts brought up by Confucius, such as ‘benevolent governance’ and ‘being harmonious yet different’, shouldn’t be considered unpractical for leaders of a country, especially for administrators of developed countries such as America. 和而不同 harmonious yet different=being harmonious while remaining different 仁政 policy of benevolence=benevolent governance 领导者 leader=ruler=administrator “治国、平天下”应该行“仁政”，行“王道”，不应该行“霸道”。 To administer a country and bring peace to the world, one should practice the benevolent governance instead of ruling by force. 治国 administer/run a country=manage state affairs 平天下 bring peace/order to the world 王道 benevolent governance/administration 霸道 rule by force=high-handed rule 行“仁政”、“王道”可以使不同文化得以共同存在和发展；行“霸道”将引起文明冲突，使文化最终走向单一化，导致文化霸权主义。 Practicing ‘benevolent governance’ makes it possible for different cultures to co-exist and develop, while ruling by force triggers cultural conflicts which lead to cultural simplification and cultural hegemony. 文化霸权主义 cultural hegemony 如果把孔子的“仁学”理论用于处理不同文明之间的关系，那么，不同文明之间就不会引起冲突或者战争，实现“文明的共存”。 Should Confucius’s ‘benevolent governance’ theory be used to handle the relationships between different civilizations, there would be no conflicts or wars between them and the ‘cultural co-existence’ could therefore be achieved. 孔子说：“君子和而不同，小人同而不和”。 As Confucius’s words go, ‘gentlemen are in harmony with each other in spite of differences between them, while base persons are in disharmony with each other in spite of uniformity among them.’ 君子和而不同 gentlemen are in harmony with each other in spite of differences between them 小人同而不和 base persons are in disharmony with each other in spite of uniformity among them 他认为，有道德有学问的君子应该做到能在不同中和谐相处；而不讲道德没有学问的人往往因强迫别人接受他的主张而不能和谐相处。 In his works he points out that, gentlemen with both morality and knowledge are able to live with each
