穷则独善其身，死则安息无恸。在这纷扰尘世，唯愿心灵如水，澄澈宁静。

If one is poor, he should cultivate his own virtue; when he dies, he should rest in peace without any sorrow. In this turbulent world, may my soul be as clear and tranquil as water.

1. 夫人必自侮，然后人侮之；家必自毁，而后人毁之；国必自伐，而后人伐之。

1. A woman must first humiliate herself before others can humiliate her; a household must first destroy itself before others can destroy it; a nation must first boast before others can attack it.

2. 人有不为也，而后可以有为。人要有所不为，才能有所为。

2. There are things that people should not do, and only after not doing them can they have the ability to do things. People must refrain from certain actions in order to be able to accomplish others.

3. 有恒产者有恒心，无恒产者无恒心。苟无恒心，放辟邪侈，无不为已。

3. Those who own a stable property have a steadfast will, while those without a stable property lack a steadfast will. If one lacks a steadfast will, they will indulge in licentiousness and extravagance, doing whatever comes to mind.

4. 忧民之忧者，民亦忧其忧。——《孟子·粱惠王下》

4. He who feels the people's sorrows, the people also feel his sorrows. — From Mencius, Chapter of King Liang of the State of Liang.

5. 人生有意义吗？一定要赚钱、一定要结婚、一定要有孩子，然后让孩子将这一切重来一遍吗？如果不快乐，这一切实在是毫无意义。

5. Is life meaningful? Must one necessarily earn money, get married, and have children, only for them to repeat all this again? If one is not happy, then all this is truly meaningless.

6. 吾尝终日而思矣，不如须臾之所学也；吾尝跂而望矣，不如登高之博见也。登高而招，臂非如长也，而见者远；顺风而呼，声非加疾也，而闻者彰。假舆马者，非利足也，而致千里；假舟楫者，非能水也，而绝江河。君子生非异也，善假于物也。

6. I have often pondered all day long, yet it is not as good as learning in just a moment; I have often stood on tiptoe to look, yet it is not as good as gaining a broader view from a high place. To beckon from a high place, the arm is not actually longer, but those who see it are far away; to shout with the wind, the voice is not actually louder, but those who hear it are more prominent. Those who borrow a carriage and horse are not necessarily swift of foot, yet they can travel a thousand miles; those who borrow a boat and oar are not necessarily good swimmers, yet they can cross rivers and great waters. The essence of a gentleman's life is not different, as long as he knows how to make good use of external things.

7. 阎王让你三更死，绝不留你到五更。

7. The King of Hell has decreed your death at the third watch, and I will not let you live until the fifth watch.

8. 天降下民，作之君，作之师，惟曰其助上帝宠之。

8. The heaven bestows upon the people, making them as their rulers and teachers, solely for the sake of aiding God in His favor towards them.

10. 君之视臣如手足，则臣视君如腹心;君之视臣如犬马，则臣视君如国人;君之视臣如土芥，则臣视君如寇仇。

10. If you, as the ruler, treat your ministers as your own hands and feet, then they will treat you as their heart and soul; if you treat them as dogs and horses, then they will treat you as their fellow citizens; and if you treat them as the dirt and weeds, then they will treat you as their enemies.

11. 这辈子能有多少钱，都是命中注定的。所谓：命里有时终须有，命里无时莫强求。

11. How much money one can have in this lifetime is all predetermined by fate. As the saying goes: What is meant to be will be, and what is not meant to be, do not force it.

12. 荀子 不苟 的翻译 [题解]

12. The translation of Xunzi's word "不苟" [Explanation]

13. 生命的意义就是问道，不是记在纸上，而是记在我们的遗传密码DNA上！

13. The meaning of life is to seek the answer, not written on paper, but encoded in our genetic blueprint, DNA!

14. 君子曰：学不可以已。青，取之于蓝而青于蓝；冰，水为之而寒于水。本直中绳，輮以为轮，其曲中规；虽有槁暴，不复挺者，輮使之然也。故木受绳则直，金就砺则利，君子博学而日参省乎己，则知明而行无过矣。

14. The gentleman says: Learning should never cease. The indigo dye is taken from the blue and is yet bluer; the ice is made from water and yet colder than water. A straight piece of wood conforms to the cord, and when it is turned into a wheel, its curvature is regular; even if it is dried and beaten, it does not return to its original straightness, for it is the turning that makes it so. Therefore, when wood is aligned with the cord, it becomes straight; when metal is sharpened on the whetstone, it becomes sharp. A gentleman, with extensive learning and daily self-examination, will have knowledge that is clear and actions that are without fault.

15. 狎（xi2 侠）：不合乎礼义的亲近。

15. Xiá (xiá 2, "侠"): Close association that goes against propriety and righteousness.

16. 庖有肥肉，厩有肥马，民有饥色，野有饿殍，此率兽而食人也。

16. There is fat meat in the kitchen, fat horses in the stable, hungry faces among the people, and starved bodies in the fields. This is akin to leading beasts to eat humans.

17. 故不登高山，不知天之高也；不临深溪，不知地之厚也；不闻先王之遗言，不知学问之大也。干越夷貉之子，生而同声，长而异俗，教使之然也。《诗》曰：“嗟尔君子，无恒安息。靖共尔位，好是正直。神之听之，介尔景福。”神莫大于化道，福莫长于无祸。

17. Therefore, if one does not climb high mountains, one does not know the height of the sky; if one does not stand by deep valleys, one does not know the depth of the earth; if one does not hear the words left by the ancient kings, one does not know the breadth of learning. The children of the Ganyue, Yi, and Mo people, are born with the same voice but grow up with different customs, which is due to education. The Book of Songs says: "Oh, you noble ones, do not constantly seek rest. Settle in your position, and prefer righteousness. The gods will hear you, and grant you prosperity." The greatest power of the gods is to embody the way, and the longest blessing is to be free from disasters.

18. 孔子曾经发出这样的感叹：“贤哉，回也!一箪食，一瓢饮，在陋巷，人不堪其忧，回也不改其乐。贤哉，回也!”

18. Confucius once exclaimed, "How noble, Hui! With only a bamboo basket of food and a gourd of drink, living in a dilapidated alley, others cannot bear their distress, but Hui does not alter his joy. How noble, Hui!"

19. 君仁，莫不仁;君义，莫不义;君正，莫不正。

19. If a ruler is benevolent, then none will be unbenevolent; if a ruler is righteous, then none will be unrighteous; if a ruler is upright, then none will be unrighteous.

20. 拔一毛而利天下,不为也。——《孟子·尽心上》

20. To pluck a single hair and benefit the whole world, I would not do it. —— From the "Mencius, Chapter on the Highest Emotion"

21. 五亩之宅，树之以桑，五十者可以衣帛矣。鸡豚狗彘之畜，无失其时，七十者可以食肉矣。百亩之田，勿夺其时，数口之家可以无饥矣。谨庠序之教，申之以孝悌之义，颁白者不负戴于道路矣。

21. In a courtyard of five mu, plant mulberry trees, and by the time one is fifty, one can wear silk and cotton clothes. Raise chickens, pigs, dogs, and boars, and do not miss their breeding seasons; by the time one is seventy, one can eat meat. With a hundred mu of farmland, do not violate the farming seasons; a family of several people can avoid hunger. Be diligent in the education of the school and sequence, and emphasize the virtues of filial piety and respect for the elder; the elderly will not bear heavy loads on their backs and heads while traveling on the roads.

22. 盗跖：见114 注(

22. Dào Zhí: See Note (114) on page 114.

23. 贼仁者谓之贼，贼义者谓之残。残贼之人谓之一夫。闻诛一夫纣，未闻弑君也。

23. Those who betray benevolence are called traitors, and those who betray righteousness are called ruthless. People who are both ruthless and traitorous are referred to as a lone tyrant. I have heard of the execution of a lone tyrant, but I have not heard of the assassination of a king.

24. 太上曰。祸福无门。惟人自召。善恶之报。如影随形。

24. The Supreme One says: Misfortune and happiness have no gates. They are summoned by oneself. The retribution of good and evil follows the body like a shadow.

27. 上有好者，下必有甚焉者矣。——《孟子·腺文公上》

27. If there is goodness above, there must be an even greater degree of it below. — From Mencius, Chapter on Duke Xian of Shang.

28. 卵有毛：禽蛋孵出的幼禽能长出羽毛，说明蛋中本有羽毛的基因，所以说卵有毛。(

28. Eggs have feathers: The young birds hatched from eggs can grow feathers, which indicates that there are genes for feathers in the eggs themselves. Therefore, it is said that eggs have feathers.

29. 孔子特别喜欢的一个弟子，叫颜渊。颜渊非常穷，还短命，但他生活质量很高，心态非常积极，人格魅力很大，被称为“复圣”，意即第二个孔夫子。

29. Confucius had a particularly favorite disciple named Yan Yuan. Yan Yuan was very poor and lived a short life, but he had a high quality of life, a very positive attitude, and a strong personal charm, and was known as the "Second Sage," meaning the second Confucius.

30. 君子有三乐，而王天下不与存焉。父母俱在，兄弟无故，一乐也；仰不愧于天，俯不怍于人，二乐也；得天下英才而教育之，三乐也。

30. A gentleman has three joys, and being the ruler of the world is not one of them. Having both parents alive, and no misfortune befalling brothers and sisters, is one joy; looking up, he does not feel ashamed before heaven, and looking down, he does not feel shy before people, is another joy; finding talented individuals in the world and educating them, is the third joy.

31. 桀纣之失天下也，失其民也;失其民者，失其心也。得天下有道：得其民，斯得天下矣;得其民有道：得其心，斯得民矣;得其心有道：所欲与之聚之，所恶勿施，尔也。

31. The loss of the kingdom by the tyrants Jie and Zhou was due to the loss of their people; the loss of their people was due to the loss of their hearts. There is a way to gain the kingdom: to gain the people, then you gain the kingdom; there is a way to gain the people: to gain their hearts, then you gain the people; and there is a way to gain their hearts: gather what they desire and do not impose what they dislike, that's it.

32. 君子有三乐，而王天下不与存焉。父母俱在，兄弟无故，一乐也;仰不愧于天，俯不怍于人，二乐也;得天下英才而教育之，三乐也。

32. A gentleman has three joys, and the joy of ruling the world is not included among them. The first joy is that both parents are alive, and brothers and sisters are without any misfortune. The second joy is that one does not feel ashamed in the eyes of heaven or feel bashful in the presence of others. The third joy is to acquire the talents of the world and educate them.

33. 心能承载一切 能包容一切

33. The heart can bear all; it can embrace all.

34. 富岁，子弟多赖;凶岁，子弟多暴，非天之降才而殊也，其所以陷溺其心者然也。

34. In prosperous years, the young are often indulgent; in lean years, they tend to be violent. It is not that the talent of the heavens is bestowed differently, but rather that it is the circumstances that lead to the corruption of their hearts.

35. 少不更事的时候，总以为靠自己的努力就可以赢得一片天地，可折腾几十年，发现自己仍然在生存线上挣扎，费尽心思的努力，也不过是糊口而已。

35. In my young and naive days, I always thought that with my own efforts, I could carve out a piece of the world for myself. But after decades of struggles, I find myself still struggling on the survival line, and all the hard efforts I have made are only enough to make a living.

36. "Not seeing its benefits, but being aware of its dangers, it is advisable to guard it well." What does this mean? You're the one who drew the bad sign this time～

37. You say, how many lives in the world, through how many seasons, and who really knows the meaning of life?

38. 有为者辟若掘井，掘井九轫而不及泉，犹为弃井也。

38. The diligent are like those who dig a well; even if they dig for nine spans and do not reach the spring, it is still a well abandoned.

39. 君子容易结交，但难以勾搭；容易恐惧，但难以胁迫；害怕祸患，但不逃避为正义而牺牲；希望得利，但不做自己认为是错误的事；与人结交很亲密，但不勾结；言谈雄辩，但不玩弄辞藻。胸怀是多么宽广啊！他是和世俗有所不同的。

39. A gentleman is easy to make friends with but difficult to seduce; he is prone to fear but hard to coerce; he fears misfortune but does not shrink from sacrificing for justice; he desires gain but does not do what he considers wrong; he has close friendships but does not conspire; he is eloquent in speech but does not indulge in empty rhetoric. How vast is his heart! He is different from the world.

40. 你的心能不背离善良 不背离慈悲

40. Can your heart not turn away from goodness, not turn away from compassion?

41. 生死有命，富贵在天。不怨穷，不怨命，以顺其自然的态度，过随遇而安的生活。

41. Life and death are predestined, and wealth and honor are determined by fate. Do not complain about poverty or destiny. Live a life of contentment with the attitude of going with the flow and adapting to whatever comes.

42. 保民而王，莫之能于御也。——《孟子·梁惠王上》

42. To protect the people and rule over them, no one can excel in governing them. —— From the "Mencius: Chapter on King Huiwang of Liang"

43. 君子说：学习是不可以停止的。靛青，是从蓝草中提取的，却比蓝草的颜色还要青；冰，是水凝固而成的，却比水还要寒冷。木材笔直，合乎墨线，（如果）它把烤弯煨成车轮，（那么）木材的弯度（就）合乎圆的标准了，即使再干枯了，（木材）也不会再挺直，是因为经过加工，使它成为这样的。所以木材经过墨线量过就能取直，刀剑等金属制品在磨刀石上磨过就能变得锋利，君子广泛地学习，而且每天检查反省自己，那么他就会聪明多智，而行为就不会有过错了。

43. The gentleman says: Learning should never stop. Indigo, extracted from indigo plants, is even bluer than the plants themselves; ice, formed from water, is even colder than water. Wood that is straight and conforms to the ink line—(if) it is baked and curved into a wheel, (then) the curvature of the wood conforms to the standard of a circle. Even if it dries out, it will not become straight again, because it has been processed to become that way. Therefore, wood that has been measured with the ink line can be made straight, and metal products like swords and daggers that have been sharpened on a whetstone can become sharp. A gentleman who learns extensively and examines and reflects on himself every day will become wise and intelligent, and his actions will not be wrong.

44. 桀纣之失天下也，失其民也；失其民者，失其心也。得天下有道：得其民，斯得天下矣；得其民有道：得其心，斯得民矣；得其心有道：所欲与之聚之，所恶勿施，尔也。

44. The loss of the kingdom by the tyrants Jie and Zhou was due to the loss of their people; and the loss of their people was because they lost their hearts. There is a way to gain the kingdom: gain the people, and you gain the kingdom; there is a way to gain the people: gain their hearts, and you gain the people; there is a way to gain their hearts: gather what they desire and do not impose what they detest, that is all.

45. 生之意义为何？ 人生的意义在于顿悟 觉悟 领悟 大彻大悟。关键在于一个悟字。悟什么关键在于一个空字。看你的悟性与慧根了。。。

45. What is the meaning of life? The meaning of life lies in enlightenment, realization, and profound understanding. The key is in the word "enlightenment." What to enlighten depends on the word "emptiness." It depends on your悟性 (enlightenment potential) and 慧根 (wisdom root) to see it...

46. 《礼记》上说：“人者天地之心也。”这就是说，人是宇宙的自我认识、自我觉悟、自我发展。人的尊严、人的价值来自于天地；来自于宇宙。爱因斯坦说过：“宇宙中最不可理解的是‘宇宙是可以理解的’。”宇宙有法则，有秩序，人的职责就是运用“理性”去发现宇宙的秩序与法则。

46. The Book of Rites says, "Humans are the heart of the heavens and the earth." This means that humans are the self-awareness, self-realization, and self-development of the universe. The dignity and value of humans come from the heavens and the earth; from the universe. Einstein once said, "The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that 'the universe is comprehensible'." The universe has laws and order, and it is the duty of humans to use 'reason' to discover the order and laws of the universe.

47. 谁也无法决定自己的生命长度，世事太过无常，我们随时随地都可能发生意外，可能突然出现某种症状，然后被诊断为重特大疾病。或者说，谁也不知道明天和意外哪一个先来。

47. No one can decide the length of their own life. Life is too unpredictable. We may encounter accidents at any time and in any place, and we may suddenly develop symptoms that are later diagnosed as severe or even catastrophic diseases. Or, to put it another way, no one knows whether tomorrow or an accident will come first.

48. 三里之城，七里之郭，环而攻之而不胜。夫环而攻之，必有得天时者矣，然而不胜者，是天时不如地利也。

48. The city of Sanli, with its outer defenses seven miles around, was surrounded and attacked but could not be conquered. When a city is surrounded and attacked, it must have an advantage in the celestial timing. However, the fact that it was not conquered indicates that the celestial timing was not as favorable as the geographical advantage.

49. 天子不仁，不保四海；诸侯不仁，不保社稷；卿大夫不仁，不保宗庙；士庶人不仁，不保四体。

49. If the Son of Heaven is not benevolent, he cannot protect the four seas; if the feudal lords are not benevolent, they cannot protect their states; if the ministers and officials are not benevolent, they cannot protect their ancestral temples; if the common people are not benevolent, they cannot protect their own bodies and limbs.

50. 积土成山，风雨兴焉；积水成渊，蛟龙生焉；积善成德，而神明自得，圣心备焉。故不积跬步，无以至千里；不积小流，无以成江海。骐骥一跃，不能十步；驽马十驾，功在不舍。锲而舍之，朽木不折；锲而不舍，金石可镂。蚓无爪牙之利，筋骨之强，上食埃土，下饮黄泉，用心一也。蟹八跪而二螯，非蛇鳝之穴无可寄托者，用心躁也。是故无冥冥之志者，无昭昭之明；无惛惛之事者，无赫赫之功。行衢道者不至，事两君者不容。目不能两视而明，耳不能两听而聪。螣蛇无足而飞，鼫鼠五技而穷。《诗》曰：“尸鸠在桑，其子七兮。淑人君子，其仪一兮。其仪一兮，心如结兮！”故君子结于一也。

50. Accumulated earth becomes a mountain, and with the rise of wind and rain, so does its formation; accumulated water becomes a deep pool, and from it, the dragon is born; accumulated good deeds become virtue, and the divine and bright spirit is naturally acquired, with the sacred heart being fully prepared. Therefore, without accumulating every small step, one cannot reach a thousand miles; without accumulating the tiny streams, one cannot form rivers and seas. A spirited horse can leap just a few steps; a slow horse can travel ten miles, its success lies in not giving up. If one carves and gives up, even rotten wood cannot be broken; but if one carves and does not give up, gold and stone can be carved. The worm has no sharp claws or strong bones, it feeds on dust at the top and drinks from the underworld beneath, all due to its single-minded focus. The crab, with its eight legs and two claws, can find no place to rely on except in the holes of snakes and eels, all because of its restless mind. Therefore, without a resolute and determined will, one cannot have a brilliant and clear understanding; without diligence and perseverance, one cannot achieve great achievements. One who walks a crossroads will not reach his destination, and one who serves two lords will not be tolerated. The eyes cannot see two things at once and remain clear, nor can the ears hear two sounds at once and be sharp. The flying snake has no legs but can soar, and the mole has five skills but is limited. The Book of Songs says: "The magpie perches on the mulberry tree, with seven chicks. The noble and upright person, their demeanor is unified. Their demeanor is unified, their heart is firm!" Thus, the gentleman focuses and unifies their thoughts.

51. 罗慧娟说，上帝藉着那些苦难，把我彻底地打碎，让我去寻求生命的意义到底是什麽。死并不可怕，最怕的是死了你不知道生命的意义为何。

51. Lao Huijuan said, "God completely shattered me through those sufferings, making me seek the true meaning of life. Death is not可怕的, the worst is when you die and you don't know why life has meaning."

52. 本篇阐述立身行事不能苟且，必须遵循礼义，所论与篇类似。

52. This passage discusses the importance of not taking things lightly in personal conduct and affairs, emphasizing the necessity of adhering to propriety and righteousness. The content discussed is similar to that of the previous section.

53. 乐民之乐者，民亦乐其乐。——《孟子·梁惠王下》

53. He who delights in the joy of the people will also be delighted by their joy. —Mencius, Book of Liang Huiwang, Chapter 53

54. 鱼，我所欲也，熊掌亦我所欲也;二者不可得兼，舍鱼而取熊掌者也。生亦我所欲也，义亦我所欲也;二者不可得兼，舍生而取义者也。

54. Fish, which I desire, and bear's paw, which I also desire; if both cannot be obtained, I would give up fish for the bear's paw. Life, which I desire, and righteousness, which I also desire; if both cannot be obtained, I would give up life for righteousness.

55. 死亡是一个必然会到来的节日，既然无力反抗，不如坦然接受，顺其自然。

55. Death is an inevitable festival that will eventually arrive. Since there is no power to resist it, why not accept it calmly and go with the flow.

56. 季羡林说：“人有生、老、病、死，是自然规律，用不着伤春，也用不着悲秋，叹老不必，嗟贫无由。将来有朝一日离开这个世界时，我也决不会饮恨吞声。只有做到尽人事，听天命，一个人才能永远保持心情的平衡。”

56. Ji Xianlin said, "People have birth, old age, illness, and death, which are natural laws. There is no need to grieve the spring or lament the autumn, no need to sigh over old age or mourn poverty. When the day comes that I leave this world, I will never drink bitterness and swallow silence. Only by doing one's best and submitting to fate can a person maintain a balanced mind forever."

57. 仁者是充满慈爱之心，满怀爱意的人；仁者是具有大智慧，人格魅力，善良的人。

57. A benevolent person is one who is filled with compassion and love; a benevolent person is someone with great wisdom, charm, and kindness.

58. 钩：通“”（q渠），妇女。钩有须：妇女生出来的儿子长胡须，说明她体内也有胡须的基因，所以说妇女有胡须。(

58. Hook: Similar to “”（qú chéng）， meaning woman. If a hook has a beard: This indicates that the son born to a woman has a beard, suggesting that the woman herself carries the genetic trait for a beard, hence saying that women can have beards.

59. 虽有天下易生之物，一日暴之，十日寒之，未有能生者也。

59. Even with the most easily grown things in the world, if you expose them to the sun for a day and then let them freeze for ten days, none of them will be able to grow.

60. 每个人都有自己的“大限”，大限来了，生命就结束了，你无论如何抗争不过，既然如此，就心平气和地接受死亡吧。

60. Everyone has their own "fate," and when it comes, life comes to an end. No matter how hard you struggle, you cannot overcome it. So, why not accept death calmly and peacefully?

61. 我曾经整天发思索，（却）不如片刻学到的知识（多）；我曾经踮起脚远望，（却）不如登到高处看得广阔。登到高处招手，胳臂没有比原来加长，可是别人在远处也看见；顺着风呼叫，声音没有比原来加大，可是听的人听得很清楚。借助车马的人，并不是脚走得快，却可以行千里，借助舟船的人，并不是能游水，却可以横渡江河。君子的本性跟一般人没什么不同，（只是君子）善于借助外物罢了。

61. I used to spend the whole day in contemplation, but the knowledge I learned in a moment is more; I used to stretch my neck to look far, but it is not as broad as the view from a high place. When I wave my hand from a high place, my arm is not longer than before, but others can see it from a distance; when I call with the wind, my voice is not louder than before, but the listeners can hear it clearly. Those who rely on horses and carriages are not necessarily those who can walk fast, but they can travel a thousand miles; those who rely on boats and ships are not necessarily good swimmers, but they can cross rivers. The nature of a gentleman is not much different from that of an ordinary person; it is just that gentlemen are good at utilizing external things.

62. 小病自我诊断，大病自我了断，生亦何欢，死亦何苦。祝我早亡，走得安详，切勿来生。人间再好，下辈子不来了。

62. Self-diagnose minor illnesses and end major ones by oneself; what joy in life, what sorrow in death. May I die young, go away in peace, and never come back in a future life. No matter how good the world is, I won't come back in the next life.

63. 自暴者，不可与有言也;自弃者，不可与有为也。

63. He who is self-destructive cannot be talked to; he who is self-abandoning cannot be worked with.

64. 后来颜回生了很重的病，孔子为他的病情担忧，整天郁郁寡欢，颜回却不以为意，快快乐乐地打发着似水流年。生死自然有上天掌管，想那么多干嘛！

64. Later, Yan Hui fell seriously ill, and Confucius worried about his condition, feeling melancholic all day long. However, Yan Hui did not take it seriously and spent his time happily, enjoying the fleeting years. Life and death are naturally under the control of heaven, why worry about it so much!
