现代人读“论语”-子见其衰者
子见其衰者,冕衣裳者与瞽者,见之,虽少,必作;过之,必趋。
孔子看到服丧的人,穿礼服的人和盲人,所见者尽管是年轻人,他也必定站起身来;经过他们身边时,他必定快走几步,以示礼让。
When the Master saw a man in mouring,or one wearing an official hat and suit,or a blind man-when he saw one,even a younger person,he always rose;when he passed one,he always quickened his pace.

现代人读“论语”-仰之弥高
颜渊喟然叹曰,“仰之弥高,钻之弥坚。瞻之在前,忽焉在后。夫子循循善诱人,博我以文,约我以礼,欲罢不能。既竭吾才,如有所立卓尔,虽欲从之,末由也已。”
颜渊感叹说,“老师的学问和仁德仰望它更觉崇高,钻研它更觉身后,瞻望时犹在眼前,忽然又到后面去了。老师循序渐进地引导我们,用典制来丰富我知,用礼仪来约束我行。我欲罢不能,竭尽全力,大道似乎卓然在前,但真要阔步追随,却感到无路可寻。”
Yan Yuan,with a deep sigh,said,"The more I raise my eyes to it,the highter it seems;the more I bore into it,the harder it becomes.I see it before me,but suddenly it is behined me.However,the Master is good at guiding me on step by step,broadening me with culture and restraining me with the rituals so that even if I want to stop,I could not do so.Having exhausted my ability,I still seem to find something standing high above me.Though I wish to follow it,there is no way to do so."

现代人读“论语”-子疾病
子疾病,子路使门人为臣。病间,曰,“久矣哉,有执行诈也!无臣而为有臣。吾谁欺?欺天乎!且予与其死于臣之手也,无宁死于二三子之手乎!且予不得大葬,予死于道路乎?”
孔子患了重病,子路让学生们临时充当治丧家臣,预备后事。孔子病情好转,说,“太过分了,由竟然如此弄虚作假!不该有家臣却装作有家臣,我欺骗谁呢?欺骗上天吗!我与其死在这种家臣之手,还不如死在你们这些学生之手!我即使不能隆重安葬,我会死在道路上无人管吗?”
When the Master was critically ill,Zi-lu made some disciples serve as his house officers.When he was a little better,he said,"Iong indeed has Zi-lu practiced deception!I am entitled to no house officers,but now I pretend to have them.Whom am I deceiving?Deceiving Heaven?Besides,I would rather die in your hands,my disciples,than die in the hands of house officers.And even though I could not obtain a grand funeral,would I be left in the street when I die?" |
