《四书》语录英译 Translation of Quotations of Four Books 子曰 ：“学而时习之不亦说乎？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 practise 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?” 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?”有子曰：“礼之用，和为贵” Youzi said, “The most valuable use of the rites is to achieve harmony.” 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。”Confucius said, “At fifteen I made up my mind to study; at thirty I was established; at forty I was no longer perplexed; at fifty I understood the will of Heaven; at sixty I listened to everything without feeling unhappy; at seventy I followed all my desires and none of them was against the norms.” 子曰：“其身正，不令而行；其身不正，虽令不从。” Confucius said, “A man who is upright is obeyed even if he gives no orders; a man who is not upright is not obeyed even if he gives orders.” 子曰：“三人行，必有我师焉。择其善者而从之，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 lean from their good qualities, and correct those faults in me which are like theirs.”子曰：“己所不欲，勿施于人。在邦无怨，在家无怨。” Confucius said，“ Do not impose on others what you do not desire yourself. Bear no grudge against the state where you work; have no feeling of dissatisfaction when you stay at home. ” 子曰：“刚、毅、木、讷近仁。”Confucius said ，“Being firm, resolute, simple and reticent is close to being humane.” 子曰：“唯仁者能好人，能恶人。” Confucius said，“Only the humane can love others and hate others.” 子曰：“志士仁人，无求生以害仁，有杀身以成仁。” Confucius said，“A man with lofty ideals or humane man never gives up humanity to save his life, but may sacrifice his life to achieve humanity.” 子曰：“知者乐水，仁者乐山；知者动，仁者静；知者乐，仁者寿。” Confu
