《礼记·大学》全文(现代文注释)英文对比(7页)Good is good, but better carries it.精益求精，善益求善。大学the Great Learning大学之道，在明明德，在亲民，在止于至善。知止而后有定，定而后能静，静而后能安，安而后能虑，虑而后能得。物有本末，事有终始，知所先后，则近道矣。 文的根本宗旨，就是弘扬本性中光明正大的品德，将以身作则使普通的人知道去垢显真的道理，并达到至善完美的境界作为最高的人生目的。只要明确人生目的就能意志坚定；只要意志坚定就能够镇静不乱；只有镇静不乱才能够心平气和；只有心平气和才能够深思远虑；深思远虑必定有所获益。万物都有主干和枝节，万事都有起始和结束。知道那主体与客体的关系，了解那万事万物进展的主次关系、时空顺序、相互联系，这就接近了解“道”的本质了。What the Great Learning teaches, is to illustrate illustrious virtue; to renovate the people; and to rest in the highest excellence.
