1.2巧言令色，鲜矣仁。Themastersaid,"clevertalkandapretentiousmanner"areseldomfoundintheGood.1.3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？EverydayIexaminemyselfonthesethreepoints:inactingonbehalfofothers,haveIalwaysbeenloyaltotheirinterests?Inintercoursewithmyfriends,haveialwaysbeentruetomyword?Haveifailedtorepeatthepreceptsthathavebeenhandeddowntome?1.4行有余力，则以学文。If,whenallthatisdone,hehasanyenergytospare,thenlethimstudythepolittearts.1.5贤贤易色；事父母能竭其力，事君能致其身；与朋友交，言而有信。虽曰未学，吾必谓之学矣。Amanwhotreatshisbettersasbetters,wearsanairofrespect,whointoservingfatherandmotherknowshowtoputhiswholestrength,whointheserviceofhisprincewilllaydownhislife,whoinintercoursewithfriendsistruetohisword-othersmaysayofhimthathestilllackseducation,butiformypartshouldcertainlycallhimaneducatedman.1.6过则勿惮改。Ifhefindshehasmadeamistake,thenhemustnotbeafraidofadmittingthefactandamendinghisways.（知错能改不算错，知错不改错上加错。）1.7慎终追远，民德归厚矣。WhenproperrespecttowardsthedeadisshownattheEndandcontinuedaftertheyarefarawaythemoralforceofapeoplehasreacheditshighestpoint.（祖先敬重这是多好的美德，但是现代社会，这种美德岌岌可危。）1.8夫子温、良、恭、俭、让以得之（政policy）oOurmastergetsthingsbybeingcordial,frank,courteous,temperate,deferential.ThatisourMaster'swayofenquiring--averydifferentmatter.（孑L子的为人就是这五个字，而这五个字值得学习和实践一辈子，孔子可爱的地方就在于他提出的出世之道很朴实。）1.9.父在观其志，父没观其行，三年无改于父之道，可谓孝矣。Whileaman'sfatherisalive,youcanonlyseehisintentions;itiswhenhisfatherdiesthatyoudiscoverwhetherornotheiscapableofcarryingthemout.Ifforthewholethreeyearsofmourninghemanagestocarryonthehouseholdexactlyasinhisfatherday,thenheisagoodsonindeed.孔子学说可以说“成"也孝，“败"也孝。也许这在前现代中是合理的，因为黑格尔说得好“存在就是合理的”。）1.10礼之用，和为贵。Intheusagesofritualitisharmonythatisprized.（曾经在学校开过一门选修课叫《生活基本礼仪》，的确礼节的精髓是“和”，而和是中国古代传统哲学思想的精髓之一。所以，中国是礼仪之邦。）1.11君子食无求饱，居无求安，敏于事而慎于言，就有道而正焉，可谓好学也已。Agentlemanwhonevergoesoneatingtillheissated,whodoesnotdemandcomfortinhishome,whoisdiligentinbusinessandcautiousinspeech,whoassociateswiththosethatpossesstheWayandtherebycorrectshisownfaults--suchaonemayindeedbesaidtohaveatasteforlearning.（“好学"的定义，的确很准确、很直观。）1.12.贫而无谄（查字典：谄媚），富而无骄，“未若贫而乐道，富而好礼者也。”Poorwithoutcadging,richwithoutswagger.Notbadbutnotbetterthan“poor,yetdelightingintheWay,rich,yetastudentofritual."（经常听到“为富不仁"的说法，其实更常看到的是“为富不礼”的情况。还有一种更“惨不忍睹”的现象是：贫而谄媚。囊中羞涩的人自然底气不足，这就是“世道”。）1.13.如切如磋，如琢如磨。Asthingcut,asthingfiled,asthingchiseled,asthingpolished.（一个人有没有"德”要看他在“贫富”面前的表现，贫富就像“磨刀石”，只有经过的考验才能够判断一个人的德，所以说道德被康德称之为“实践理性”，他撰写的《实践理性批判》是一本讨论道德的书。）1.14不患人之不己知，患不知人也。Thegoodmandoesnotgrievethatotherpeopledonotrecognizehismerits.Hisonlyanxietyislestheshouldfailtorecognizetheirs.这句话和第一条“人不知而不愠”不是强调和补充吗？不要因为不被了解而忧患，应该担心的是不了解他人。是的首先学会“关心”，才有可能得到“开心”。）2.1为政以德，譬如北辰，居其...
