"The past is what you remember, imagine you remember, convince yourself you remember, or pretend you remember."
过去是你所记得的,想象你记得的,说服自己记得的,或假装记得的。
【原文】子夏为莒父宰,问政。子曰:“无欲速,无见小利。欲速则不达,见小利则大事不成。”【译文】子夏到莒父做地方长官,问怎样为政。孔子说:“不要只求速成,不要贪图小利。想求速成,反而达不到目的;贪图小利,就做不成大事。”
The Worldly Hope men set their Hearts upon Turns Ashes—or it prospers; and anon, Like Snow upon the Desert's dusty Face, Lighting a little hour or two—is gone.
译文:勤奋能使学业更加精进,而沉迷于玩乐会导致学业荒废;德行由于独立思考而有所成就,由于因循随俗而败坏。赏析:人如果愚钝不开,只要勤奋也能补拙,但聪明的人要是玩物就会丧志,做任何事也不会成功。
