崇人之德，扬人之美，非谄谀也；正义直指，举人之过，非毁疵也。——《荀子·不苟》Inveneratingtheinnerpowerinothersorincelebratingtheirexcellence,thegentlemandoesnotengageinflatteryortoadyafterothers.Incorrectingandcriticizingothersinblunttermsandinpointingouttheirfaults,hedoesnotengageinbackbitingorslander.喻血轮·《老与少》英译老年为少年之过来人，少年为老年之候补者，老与少，只不过时间上之差别而已。然中国习惯，对老少之间，往往划有无形界限。在客观上，有时重老而轻少，有时重少而轻老。在主观上，老者自恃其老，少年自矜其少。几千年来，遂形成老者自以为持重练达，而菲薄少年为少不更事；而少年自以为新锐精进，而輘轹老者为老朽昏庸。此真所谓偏颇两失之见也！曩梁任公在其《少年中国》一文中，对老年人与少年人曾有一适当对比。其言曰：“老年人如夕照，少年人如朝阳；老年人如瘠牛，少年人如乳虎；老年人如僧，少年人如侠；老年人如字典，少年人如戏文；老年人如鸦片烟，少年人如白兰地酒；老年人如别行星之陨石，少年人如大海洋之珊瑚岛；老年人如埃及沙漠之金字塔，少年人如西伯利亚之铁路；老年人如秋后之柳，少年人如春间之草；老年人如死海之潴为泽，少年人如长江之初发源⋯⋯”观此，则知老年与少年，各有所长，各有其用，如能祛除成见，同为国家效力，则裨益民族，定非浅鲜。OldAgeandYoungTheagedaretheantecedentsoftheyoung,andtheyoungarethecandidatesoftheaged.Thedifferencebetweenageandyouthisonlyamatteroftime.But,accordingtotheChinesecustom,thereisalwaysaninvisiblelineofdemarcationbetweenthem.Objectivelyspeaking,sometimestheagedareheldinesteemandtheyoungaremadelightof;sometimesitisjusttheotherwayround.Subjectivelyspeaking,theagedareself-conceitedbecauseoftheirgoodoldage,whiletheyoungthinknosmallbeeroftheirownyouth.Forthousandsofyearsithasbeenassumedthattheaged,thinkingthemselvesexperiencedandmoreskillful,lookdownupontheyoungfortheirgreennessinworldlyaffairs,whiletheyoung,thinkingthemselvesfreshinlifeandmoreenergetic,calltheagedoldfogies.Eitheroftheseviews,ofcourse,isfarfrombeingimpartial.LiangQi-chaoinanarticleentitled“YoungChina”madeapropercontrastbetweentheagedandtheyoung.Hesaid:“Theoldmanislikethesettingsun;theyoungman,themorningsun.Theoldmanislikealeanox;theyoungman,acubtiger.Theoldmanislikeamonk;theyoungman,aknight.Theoldmanislikeadictionary;theyoungman,thetextofaplay.Theoldmanislikeopium;theyoungman,brandy.Theoldmanislikeashootingstar;theyoungman,acoralisland.TheoldmanislikethepyramidofEgypt;theyoungman,theSiberianrailroad.Theoldmanislikethewillowafterautumn;theyoungman,thegrassinspring.Theoldmanislikethedeadseathatturnsintoalake;theyoungman,thesourceoftheYangtzeRiver.Fromthis,weknowthattheagedandtheyoungbothhavetheirownmeritsanduses.Iftheywillcastawaytheirprejudicesandworktogetherforthecountry,theirservicestothepeopleshallbeimmense.冰夫·《苏州雨景》英译摘要:许志培译一夜浪敲几回醒，船已过盘门；茉莉香；吴歌轻，雨巷伞如菌。新竹吐翠，海棠艳红，珠帘晃动彩流涌，船在画屏中。ScenesintheRaininSuzhouBingFuTimeandagain,thewholenight’swaveswokemeup.TheboathaspassedthePanmenGate.Thejasmineissweet,theWusongsaretender,Andtheumbrellasinthelanesarelikemushrooms.Freshbamboosshootnewgreen,AndtheChinesefloweringcrabapplesshowtheirbrightred.Lookingatthecolorfulrushingwavesthroughthebeadcurtain,Youfeelliketheboatinapicture.（许志培译）余光中·《朋友四型》英译摘要:顾丹柯译一个人命里不见得有太太或丈夫，但绝对不可能没有朋友。即使是荒岛上的鲁滨逊，也不免需要一个“礼拜五”。一个人不能选择父母，但是除了鲁滨逊之外，每个人都可以选择自己的朋友。...
