1. 最近朋友介绍给我一本关于历史方面的书——《明朝那些事儿》。刚看到这本书的时候，我随手翻了几页，发现里面全是文字，心想这肯定又是枯燥无味、故作高深的历史书罢了，便放在一边，不去理会。后来无书可读，只好耐着性子看了起来。没想一看，就立刻被吸住了，变得爱不释手。作者用了通俗易懂的语言把明朝276年的历史写得淋漓尽致，幽默无穷。尤其是对人物的刻画，入木三分，让人记忆犹新。

1. Recently, a friend introduced me to a book about history titled "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty." When I first saw the book, I flipped through a few pages casually and found that it was all text. I thought to myself that this must be another dry and boring, pretentiously profound history book, so I put it aside and didn't pay any attention to it. Later, when I ran out of books to read, I had no choice but to read it with patience. To my surprise, once I started, I was immediately captivated and couldn't put it down. The author wrote the 276 years of the Ming Dynasty in a way that was easy to understand, with rich humor. Especially in刻画人物方面，入木三分，让人难以忘怀。

2. 但也许那些忠臣们认为自己最好的归宿，就是为国家效尽最后一点力，流尽最后一滴血。

2. But perhaps those loyal ministers believed that their best fate was to exhaust the last ounce of their strength for the country and to shed the last drop of their blood.

3. 越接近对方的水平，就越了解对方的强大，就会越来越畏惧。当他的畏惧达到极点的时候，也就是他能与对手匹敌的时候。

3. The closer one gets to the opponent's level, the more one understands the opponent's strength and the more fear one will have. When the fear reaches its peak, it is when one can match the opponent.

4. 读一本好书就像在与一位高尚的人谈话。在书中我知道了许多道理：一定要多交朋友，建立起良好的人际关系网，择其善者而从之；做事一定要有远见，不能只顾眼前的利益；为人处事一定要低调，不能自大狂妄。

4. Reading a good book is like conversing with an upright person. From the book, I have learned many truths: one must make many friends, establish a good network of interpersonal relationships, and follow the good in others; one must have foresight in doing things, not just focusing on immediate benefits; one must be modest in one's conduct and affairs, and not be conceited or arrogant.

5. 一位禅师说：“智圆行方，曲中求直。能屈能伸，刚柔并济，恩威并施，内方外圆。”

5. A Zen master said, "Intelligence is rounded, conduct is straightforward. Capable of bending and stretching, combining strength and gentleness, applying benevolence and authority, and being strict within and flexible without."

6. 每个人都对自己的能力有比较清楚的判断。进入职场，大家都是成年人，自己的水平其实自己最清楚了。这个时候，如果有人对你溜须拍马，让你觉得自己还有这么大的实力，他显然是有目的。因为我们对自己的能力有所把握，所以别人的溜须拍马便显得无关紧要，甚至让我们对他有所戒备。

6. Everyone has a relatively clear judgment of their own abilities. Once entering the workplace, everyone is an adult, and in reality, one's own level is the most well-known. At this time, if someone flatters you and makes you feel that you still have such great strength, it is obvious that they have a purpose. Because we have a grasp of our own abilities, others' flattery becomes trivial, and even leads us to be cautious towards them.

7. 俗话说：“忍一时风平浪静，退一步海阔天空。”对于蛮横无理的垃圾人，何必跟他斗气争狠。调整心情，各走一边，不要让他过多扰乱自己的生活。

7. As the saying goes, "Endure for a moment, and the waves will calm; take a step back, and the sky will be vast." Why should one argue with or compete with a brute? Adjust one's mood, go separate ways, and don't let them excessively disturb your own life.

8. 春秋时期，闵子骞听说孔子学问广大，智慧过人，于是向孔子拜师学习。

8. During the Spring and Autumn period, Min Ziqian heard about Confucius' vast knowledge and extraordinary wisdom, and thus he decided to become a student of Confucius to learn from him.

9. 人生不是一马平川。总是昂着头走路，难免跌入泥坑，贻误自己。

9. Life is not a smooth road. Always walking with your head held high, you are bound to fall into a mud hole and make a mess of yourself.

10. 人这一辈子，不如意事十之八九，没有谁是一帆风顺的，都没有谁是无所不能的，更没有谁是不会犯错的。该低头时要低头，该承受时要忍受。拥有低头的勇气，才会有抬头的底气；忍得一时巨浪滔天，才会迈入风平浪静，海阔天空。胜不骄，败不馁，顺不嚣，逆不恼。能上能下，能高能低，能屈能伸的人，才能活得潇洒自在、舒心坦然，长久恒远。

10. In one's lifetime, there are nine out of ten things that do not go as planned. No one has an easy journey through life, no one is all-powerful, and no one is immune to making mistakes. When it's time to bow your head, do so; when it's time to bear the burden, endure it. Possessing the courage to bow your head will give you the confidence to lift your head up; enduring a fierce storm will lead you to a calm sea and boundless sky. Be modest in victory, not despondent in defeat, neither haughty in prosperity nor resentful in adversity. One who can go up and down, be high and low, bend and stretch, can live carefree and at ease, with peace of mind and ease of heart, enduringly and for a long time.

11. 人生最痛苦的地方不在于有一个悲惨的结局，而在于知道了结局却无法改变。

11. The most painful part of life is not having a tragic ending, but knowing the ending and being unable to change it.

12. 这本书开头主要讲述的是自幼是农民出身的朱元璋因为忍受不了元朝的统治，先是出家做了和尚，后被人诬陷说他要起义，被迫投靠了当时的起义队伍。慢慢的，他在军事方面的才能渐渐显露了出来，他先是打败了其他比他强的起义队伍，后又经过与元的数十年的征战，最后赶走了元朝的皇帝，统一了中国。

12. The beginning of this book mainly tells the story of Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born into a farming family and could not stand the rule of the Yuan Dynasty. He first became a monk and then was falsely accused of planning to rise in rebellion, forcing him to join the then-rebellious troops. Gradually, his military talents began to show, as he first defeated other rebellious forces stronger than himself, and later, after decades of warfare with the Yuan, he finally drove out the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty and unified China.

13. 记得曾无意间看到 《明朝那些事儿》的动画版，打那之后开始期待完整版的小说了。有幸去年在图书馆读完全套，至今回想起来感觉依然美妙，恍若昨日，书中场景，历历在目。

13. Remember seeing the animated version of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" by accident, and ever since then, I've been looking forward to the complete novel. I was fortunate enough to read the whole set last year in the library, and even now, when I recall it, it still feels wonderful, as if it were yesterday. The scenes in the book are vivid in my mind.

14. 真诚的赞美不等于溜须拍马。职场中一个人取得成就的时候，作为同事或者下属，我们看到了他的努力，这时候用合适的语言去肯定他的付出，让对方觉得自己是真心的为他感到高兴是很有必要的。而溜须拍马却只是肯定他的天赋，没有看到他的过程，很容易让人觉得有疏远感。由此看来，与其溜须拍马，不如真诚的赞美。

14. Sincere praise is not the same as flattery. When a person achieves success in the workplace, as a colleague or subordinate, we see their efforts. It is very necessary to use appropriate language to affirm their contributions at this time, so that the other person feels that you are sincerely happy for them. However, flattery only affirms their talent, without seeing their process, which can easily make people feel distant. Therefore, it is better to offer sincere praise rather than flattery.

15. 老板报出价格时，刘华强嫌贵，讥讽老板的西瓜是金子做的。

15. When the boss quoted the price, Liu Huaqiang thought it was too expensive and sarcastically said that the boss's watermelon was made of gold.

16. 王守仁就是让我印象最深，感悟最多的一个人。他创造了心学，发现了“知行合一”，是一名伟大的哲学家；他孤身一人，召集义军，打败叛变的藩王宁王，只花了短短一个月的时间，是一名优秀的军事家。而书中关于他的“知行合一”理念又让我陷入深深思考当中。

16. Wang Shouren is the person who left the deepest impression on me and whom I have the most感悟 about. He created the school of mind study, discovered the concept of "Unity of Knowledge and Action," and is a great philosopher; he alone gathered the rebel army, defeated the rebellious prince Ningwang, and did so in a mere month, making him an outstanding military strategist. And the book's discussion of his "Unity of Knowledge and Action" philosophy has deeply engendered my contemplation.

17. 看了快两个月，见证了明朝的兴盛衰亡。兴于朱元璋，盛于朱棣，衰于天启，亡于崇祯。教科书上几章节的背后，是错综复杂的故事。

17. Having observed for nearly two months, I have witnessed the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty. It rose under Zhu Yuanzhang, flourished under Zhu Di, declined under Tianqi, and perished under Chongzhen. The background of several chapters in the textbooks is the intricate story.

18. 西瓜称好后，他还要求保熟。并且当众翻开老板的称盘，把老板做手脚的吸铁石暴露在众目睽睽之下。

18. After the watermelon was weighed, he also demanded that it be kept ripe. Moreover, he publicly flipped over the boss's scale pan, exposing the magnet that the boss had been manipulating to everyone's gaze.

19. 真正有远见的人，“已识乾坤大，犹怜草木青。”他们不管见过多大的世面，拥有多高的地位，取得多好的成绩，依然能谦和地对待小人物，真诚地尊敬任何一个自食其力的人。

19. True visionaries, "Once aware of the vastness of the world, still cherish the greenery of the grass and trees." Regardless of how much they have seen of the world, their high status, or the great achievements they have made, they still treat the ordinary people with humility and sincerely respect anyone who earns their own living.

20. 我是一个酷爱历史的小孩，家里的历史书当然也多的数不清，比如：《汉朝那些事儿》、《唐俗》、《中国上下五千年》……但我最喜欢的还非《明朝那些事儿》不可。

20. I am a child who is passionately fond of history, and of course, there are countless history books at home, such as: "The Matters of the Han Dynasty," "Tang Customs," "The Five Thousand Years of China..." But my favorite book has to be "The Matters of the Ming Dynasty."

21. 《明朝那些事儿》，网络连载小说，作者当年明月，本名石悦。边写作边集结成书出版发行，一共7本。

21. "Ming Dynasty: Those Matters," an online serialized novel, written by Lao Mingyue, whose real name is Shi Yue. While writing, he also compiled and published the book, which consists of a total of 7 volumes.

22. 潘阳湖之战是朱元璋的成名之战，鄱阳湖之战也奠定了他统一中国的基础。在潘阳湖之战中，朱元璋之所以能赢是因为能以少胜多，以弱胜强，以小胜大，正是巧妙地利用了陈友谅错误的结果。面对舰只庞大、装备精良的陈军，朱元璋冷静、敏捷地捕捉敌方的弱点和失误，化不利为有利，进入湖口之初，就在武阳水与鄱阳湖、长江与鄱阳湖各隘口，层层派兵扼阻，限制其兵力展开，阻止其发挥多兵大舰的优势，形成了对陈友谅的战略包围，因此从开始便掌握了战略主动权。然后又集中大部战船和兵力逐次打击陈军，并善于利用风向、水流等自然条件，及时抢占有利攻击阵位，不失时机地实施火攻，充分发挥火器的作用，终于以少胜多、以小击大、以弱胜强，创造了我国水战海战史上的著名战例。

22. The Battle of Panyang Lake was the battle that made Zhu Yuanzhang famous, and the Battle of Lake Poyang also laid the foundation for his unification of China. Zhu Yuanzhang won the Battle of Panyang Lake because he was able to defeat a larger enemy with fewer forces, to overcome the strong with the weak, and to conquer the large with the small, which was a result of cleverly exploiting Chen Youlang's mistakes. Facing the vast fleet and well-equipped Chen army, Zhu Yuanzhang calmly and swiftly exploited the enemy's weaknesses and mistakes, turning disadvantages into advantages. At the very beginning of his approach to Lakekou, he strategically deployed troops at the Weiyang River and Lake Poyang, as well as at various straits between the Yangtze River and Lake Poyang, to block and restrict the deployment of their forces, preventing them from utilizing the advantages of their large fleet, and thus forming a strategic encirclement of Chen Youlang. Therefore, he held the strategic initiative from the start. Then, he concentrated most of his warships and troops to sequentially strike at the Chen army, and he was skilled at utilizing natural conditions such as wind and currents to seize advantageous positions for attacks in a timely manner. He did not miss the chance to implement fiery attacks, fully utilizing the power of firearms. Finally, he created a famous battle example in the history of China's naval battles by defeating a larger enemy with fewer forces, overwhelming the strong with the weak, and defeating the large with the small.

23. 这是唯利是图，欺软怕硬的卑劣之徒。

23. This is a despicable person who seeks only profit and fears the strong while bullying the weak.

24. 列宁阻止她说：“不必这样，你端着东西已走了半截，而我现在空手，请你先过去吧！”他把“请”字说得很响亮，很亲切。然后自己紧靠着墙，让女工上楼了，他才下楼。

24. Lenin stopped her and said, "No need to be like that, you've already walked half the way carrying something, while I am empty-handed. Please go first!" He said the word "please" loudly and warmly. Then he leaned against the wall, allowing the female worker to go up the stairs before he descended.

25. 在这本书中，让我们看到了一个个。嘴脸丑恶的小人，一个个专治夺权的宦官，一个个见利忘义的奸臣，当然更看到了舍生取义的将领，还有独守正道的孤胆英雄。读完了这本书，回过头来想想，才发现自己从书中看到了好多的改变，人的改变，物的改变，环境的改变……而这些改变都是因“利益”起，兄弟互相残杀，父子反目成仇，将好好的一代王朝搅和的乌烟瘴气，不都是因“利益”而起的吗？

25. In this book, we see one after another: ugly little men, one after another eunuchs who are专治夺权, one after another traitorous ministers who forget justice for personal gain, of course, and also see brave generals who sacrifice their lives for righteousness, and lone heroes who stand by the right path. After reading this book and looking back, I realized that I saw a lot of changes in it: changes in people, changes in things, changes in the environment... And these changes all started with "interests": brothers killing each other, fathers and sons turning against each other, and a once peaceful dynasty being turned into chaos. Isn't all this caused by "interests"?

26. 看完一本名著后，大家心中一定有很多感想，是时候静下心来好好写写读后感了。现在你是否对读后感一筹莫展呢？

26. After reading a classic masterpiece, everyone must have a lot of feelings. It's time to sit down and write a thoughtful review properly. Are you at a loss for how to write a review now?

27. 我将也会运用“知行合一”的理念，将懂得的道理和行动结合起来，脚踏实地，努力前行！

27. I will also apply the concept of "unity of knowledge and action," combining the principles I understand with my actions, and strive to move forward with determination and perseverance!

28. 这本书的全文贯穿的还有：权利，利用，欺骗，巴结，结党营私，舞弊，欺下瞒上，软弱当然也有忠贞，正直善良无私但是无论如何，我们也不能改变历史，而且尊重历史！去了解那段历史，这段历史遗留下来的精华部分，比如朱棣叫解缙等人编撰《永乐大典》，国之瑰宝！总之人无完人，我的建议就是你用正确三观去读这段历史，必有收获！继续下一段历史！

28. This book is also characterized throughout by themes such as: rights, exploitation, deception, flattery, factionalism, fraud, deception of the lower ranks, and weakness. Of course, there is also loyalty, integrity, kindness, and selflessness. However, no matter what, we cannot change history, and we must respect history! To understand that period of history, the essence left behind by that period, such as Zhu Di ordering Jie Jin and others to compile the "Yongle Dadian" (The Great Compendium of the Yongle Era), a national treasure! In short, no one is perfect. My suggestion is for you to read this part of history with a correct world view, and you will surely gain something from it! Continue to the next part of history!

29. 谢谢当时明月，谢谢您写出这么一本千古奇文。

29. Thank you for the bright moon then, thank you for writing such a unique and timeless masterpiece.

30. 明朝后面崇祯时期，感觉挺心累，明朝气数已尽，烂摊子太烂，尽管崇祯想做点什么力挽狂澜，但终究也因天灾人祸，内忧外患，在第17个年头走向了灭亡。

30. After the Ming Dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Chongzhen, it felt quite exhausting. The Ming Dynasty had exhausted its fate, and the mess was too chaotic. Although Emperor Chongzhen wanted to do something to turn the tide, he ultimately faced both natural disasters and man-made calamities, internal and external troubles, and his reign came to an end in the 17th year.

31. “人外有人，天外有天。”世间高人，无处不在。许多能者多劳、大咖就在咱们身旁，在人们的日常衣食住行里。他们不张扬沉稳，不下手时，一般普通，一点也不起眼睛；此处手时，一鸣惊人，震撼众人。碰到高人，要虚心请教，不必不礼貌得罪，更不必“好高鹜远”，跟人家争夺资源，导致同归于尽的局势。众人皆知，有时是一种聪慧；忍让，有时是一种能力。

31. "There are people beyond people, and there are heavens beyond heavens." Great individuals are everywhere in the world. Many capable people work hard, and the big shots are right beside us, in people's daily lives of food, clothing, housing, and transportation. They are modest and stable, and when not taking action, they appear ordinary and not at all eye-catching; but when they do take action, they can surprise everyone and震撼 the crowd. When encountering great individuals, one should be humble in asking for guidance, not be impolite and offend them, and certainly not "aspire to the heavens" and vie for resources with them, leading to a situation where both parties are destroyed. It is well-known that sometimes knowing is a form of wisdom; patience, sometimes, is a form of ability.

32. 愿意向弱小者低头的人，具备辽阔的格局，过硬的品性，更能赢得众人的信任和支持，把人生的道路越走越宽。

32. Those who are willing to bow down to the weak possess a broad perspective and strong character, which enables them to gain the trust and support of many, leading to a wider path in life.

33. 余生，让我们适时低头，变得更谦虚，更理智，更善良。

33. In the remaining years, let us lower our heads in time to become more humble, more rational, and more kind-hearted.

34. 潘阳湖之战因为朱元璋的冷静才以少胜多、以小击大、以弱胜强。在生活中我们常常会遇到一些困难，我们不能慌张，要冷静，不会因此而受到干扰。当事情露出破绽时，我们要迅速的观察到，并将破绽弄得越来越大，再因此将事情化不利为有利。

34. The Battle of Pan Yang Lake was won by Zhu Yuanzhang's composure, achieving victories against overwhelming odds, against the stronger with the weaker, and against the larger with the smaller. In life, we often encounter difficulties. We must not panic, but remain calm and not let ourselves be distracted. When things reveal cracks, we should quickly observe them and exaggerate the cracks, turning the adverse situation into a favorable one.

35. 电视剧《征服》有这么一个片段：孙红雷扮演的刘华强到摊贩买瓜。

35. In the TV drama "Conquest," there is a scene where Sun Honglei, playing the role of Liu Huajiang, goes to a street vendor to buy melons.

36. 一个人的涵养和品质，体现在他对比自己弱小的人身上。

36. A person's cultivation and character are reflected in how they treat those who are weaker than themselves.

37. 懂得低头，才能学到别人的优长处，避开脚下的绊脚石，善待身边的弱小者。

37. Only by lowering one's head can one learn from others' strengths, avoid the obstacles at one's feet, and treat the weak around them kindly.

38. 一个人再有本事，也要向哪几个人低头，否则会倒霉？

39. “君子之身可大可小，丈夫之志能屈能伸。”一个有远见的人，虽身处高处而不傲，虽跌落低谷而不馁。他们不会因为一时的荣辱得失，而胡思乱想。这些人通常可以承受一时的卑屈，而获得将来大展身手的空间和尽显抱负的时间。“聪明人善屈尊，似是而非强伸出头。”一个人有本领，也需要明白向下列三种人低头，当忍则忍，能屈能伸，为自己留出沉积的机遇，人生道路才会走得开阔、顺利。

38. No matter how capable a person is, there are a few people to whom they must bow their head, or else they may suffer misfortune. 39. "A gentleman's body can be big or small, and a man's ambition can bend and stretch." A person with foresight, though at a high position, does not become proud, and though fallen to the lowest point, does not become discouraged. They do not indulge in idle thoughts due to temporary gains or losses. These people can usually endure temporary humility to gain space for future opportunities to display their talents and time to fully realize their ambitions. "A wise person is good at humbling themselves, and it is better to stay低调 than to forcibly stick out one's head." A person with ability also needs to understand that they should bow their head to the following three types of people, endure when necessary, and be able to bend and stretch, leaving room for accumulated opportunities for themselves. Only then can their path in life be broad and smooth.

40. 我是十分不赞同在职场上要会溜须拍马的说辞的。作为一个贬义词，当人们一听到溜须拍马的时候，内心其实便对它格外的排斥。如果在职场中，让人们去做一件自己的价值观中十分不能接受的事情，这样的职场肯定也是有问题的。除此以外，还有以下三个方面让我觉得在职场上会溜须拍马是没有必要的。

40. I strongly disagree with the notion that flattery and sycophancy are necessary in the workplace. As a derogatory term, when people hear the phrase "sycophancy," they actually feel a strong aversion to it. If in the workplace, people are asked to do something that goes against their own values, then such a workplace is definitely problematic. In addition, there are three other aspects that make me feel that flattery and sycophancy are unnecessary in the workplace.

41. 站在今天看500年前明朝那些事，明朝前中期固然强盛，有郑和下西洋、威震四方领先世界。但谁能想到大明王朝也就经历了300年，后来清朝更是严重落后于世界。站在500年后的未来看现在，此时有如大明前期的崛起，但未来又会是怎样的？只有历史才有答案。在历史长河中，皇帝也只是一个小小的角色，于个人而言，如书中最后所讲，成功只有一个——按照自己的方式，去度过人生。足矣。

41. Looking back 500 years to the matters of the Ming Dynasty, the dynasty was indeed prosperous in its early and middle periods, with Zheng He's voyages to the Western seas, his awe-inspiring power spreading across the four corners of the world. But who would have thought that the Great Ming Dynasty would only last for 300 years, and that the Qing Dynasty would fall seriously behind the world afterward. Standing in the future 500 years from now and looking at the present, it seems to be like the rise of the early Ming Dynasty, but what will the future hold? Only history has the answer. In the long river of history, emperors are only small roles, and for individuals, as the book concludes, there is only one success – to live life in one's own way. That is enough.

42. 真正有远见的人，会向三种人低头。

42. A truly visionary person will bow down to three kinds of people.

43. 读史使人明智，那么，当我们遇到像 《明朝那些事儿》这样好的书时，是否该有所行动呢？

43. Reading history makes one wise. So, when we encounter a good book like "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty," shouldn't we take some action?

44. 《明朝那些事儿》这篇文主要讲述的是从1344年到1644年这三百年间关于明朝的一些事情,对明朝十七帝和其他王公权贵和小人物的命运进行全景展示,尤其对官场政治、战争、帝王心术着墨最多,并加入了对当时政治经济制度、人伦道德的演义。《明朝那些事·洪武大帝》是从朱元璋的出身开始写起，到永乐大帝夺位的靖难之役结束为止。叙述了明朝最艰苦卓绝的开国过程。

44. The article "Those Matters in the Ming Dynasty" mainly tells about some events concerning the Ming Dynasty during the three centuries from 1344 to 1644. It offers a panoramic display of the destinies of the seventeen emperors of the Ming Dynasty, as well as other royal nobles and common people. It focuses particularly on official political struggles, wars, and the strategies of emperors, and also includes the interpretations of the political and economic systems and ethical norms of that time. "Those Matters in the Ming Dynasty: Hongwu the Great Emperor" starts from the origin of Zhu Yuanzhang and ends with the Jingnan Campaign, in which the Yongle Emperor seized the throne. It narrates the most arduous and heroic founding process of the Ming Dynasty.

45. 有时懂得低头，才能认清脚下的路，悟透处世的智慧。

45. Sometimes, one must bow one's head to recognize the path beneath one's feet and understand the wisdom of dealing with the world.

46. 走近身边优秀的人，向他们低头学习，精进自己，努力抵达想要的美好。

46. Approach outstanding individuals around you, bow down to learn from them, improve yourself, and strive to reach the beautiful goals you desire.

47. 溜须拍马或许迎合一些人的胃口，但终究不是正途。职场中会有一些人运气比较好才当上了领导，不过他们经常对自己的能力预估有误，所以会格外器重一些溜须拍马的人。但是如果一个人都认不清楚自己，在他的领导下估计也不会有什么好的发展。溜须拍马的方式能让人获得一时的好处，却终究耽误了自己的前途，不是一条正确的道路。

47. Flattery may cater to the tastes of some people, but it is ultimately not the right path. In the workplace, there are some who have become leaders due to good luck, but they often have a wrong assessment of their own abilities, so they pay special attention to those who flatter and curry favor. However, if a person cannot even recognize themselves, it is unlikely that there will be any good development under their leadership. The way of flattery may bring temporary benefits, but it ultimately hampers one's own prospects, and it is not a correct path.

48. 首先还是应该蹲下来抱抱自己，毕竟这本书的篇幅是比较长的。之前的我是不可能完成的。但是我还是一边听一边看，到底还是读完。应该是个好兆头吧！

48. First and foremost, I should crouch down and give myself a hug, after all, this book is quite lengthy. The previous me wouldn't have been able to finish it. But I kept listening and reading, and eventually, I did finish it. It should be a good omen, right!

49. 趁今年寒假有空余的时间，我又捧起了讲述明史的书《明朝那些事儿》。

49. Taking advantage of the free time during this year's winter vacation, I once again picked up the book "Those Things of the Ming Dynasty," which tells the history of the Ming Dynasty.

50. 《明朝那些事儿》讲述了从元末到清初历代帝王将相所经历的辉煌与衰败，君与臣、臣与臣之间的勾心斗角，深宫大内的尔虞我诈。既有刚正不阿的忠臣悍将，又不乏卑鄙无耻的奸诈小人，上至九五之尊的皇帝，下至出身贫贱的市井小人，个个形象生动。一本书，更像一场剧，自己也置身其中，那些惊心动魄的历史转折点也要扼住读者的咽喉一般，让人时而紧张得满头大汗，时而焦急似热锅上的蚂蚁，时而吃惊堪比中奖，时而平静如行止于空巷。而整个过程似流水般自然，一气呵成，文笔清新，且幽默风趣，一改历史书枯味繁杂的形象，大胆结合当代社会之潮流时尚，带给读者全新的感受，很好地调动了广大青少年读者的兴趣，激发了他们对传统历史文化新的求知欲望。

50. "The Stories of the Ming Dynasty" recounts the辉煌 and decline experienced by generations of emperors and ministers from the end of the Yuan Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, the cunning intrigues between emperors and ministers, and the deceit and cunning within the imperial palace. It features both upright and loyal ministers and valiant generals, as well as cunning and shameless traitors. From the revered emperors to the lowly street urchins of humble origin, each character is vividly depicted. The book is more like a drama, where the reader feels immersed in the story. The thrilling historical turning points grip the reader's throat, making them sweat with tension, worry like ants on a hot pot, be startled as if they've hit the jackpot, or remain calm as if walking through an empty alley. The entire process flows naturally, a seamless narrative, with fresh and humorous writing. It changes the dry and complex image of history books, boldly combining contemporary social trends and fashions, bringing readers a new experience, and effectively stimulating the interest of young readers, igniting their new desire for knowledge of traditional culture and history.

51. 有的人对优于自己的人，和颜悦色，笑容可掬。而对不如自己的人，却疾言厉色，满脸肃杀。

51. Some people treat those who are superior to them with a friendly and amiable demeanor, smiling warmly. However, when dealing with those who are inferior to them, they speak sharply and with a stern expression, their face full of severity.

52. 其实我们每个人都是一篇文章，纯粹原创，绝无抄袭，在书写属于自己的这段文字的同时，我们眼见得它高楼起，高楼塌；眼见得他牛了，又怂了；眼见得他兴了，又废了。正所谓人无百日好，花无百日红，想起了曹雪芹的话，“当年笏满床,衰草枯杨,曾为歌舞场 蛛丝儿结满雕梁,绿纱今又糊在蓬窗上说什么脂正浓,粉正香,如何两鬓又成霜昨日黄土陇头送白骨,今宵红灯帐底卧鸳鸯。”如何做好自己这篇文章，如何写好自己这点事儿，还真是个事儿，也不算个什么事儿。不过，无论何时，何地，都要对未来抱一分善念，一分坚持，一分希望，一分浪漫，相信这篇文章也不至于糟到哪里去。

52. In fact, each of us is an article, purely original, with no plagiarism. While writing our own piece of text, we witness its rise and fall, its rise and fall, its strength and then its timidity, its prosperity and then its decline. As the saying goes, "People cannot be in good health for a hundred days, and flowers cannot be in full bloom for a hundred days." This reminds me of the words of Cao Xueqin, "In those days, the jade tablets were piled high, the withered grass and willow trees once formed the scene of singing and dancing. Spider silk was entangled on the ornate beam, and green gauze was now pasted on the thatched window. What was said was that the grease was thick and the powder was fragrant, but how could the silver hair on the temples turn white yesterday? The bones were sent to the yellow earth at the foot of the mound, and tonight, the mandarin ducks are sleeping under the red lantern curtain." How to write this article of ourselves well, how to write our own affairs well, is indeed a matter, but it's not a big deal. However, at any time and place, we should hold a kind thought, a sense of perseverance, a glimmer of hope, and a touch of romance for the future. Believe that this article will not be too bad.

53. 古语云：“良贾深藏若虚，君子盛德容颜若愚”，一个人再会干，还有才能，也不能太过展现自我，有意显摆。不然便会惹人嫉恨，遭受打击，因此一定要深知审时度势之道，足智多谋，才能慢品热闹，稳定一生。为人处事，应当圆融。一切不能强左右，“宁惹恼君子，也不能惹恼小人”，由于小人难以应对，最好的办法是要保持警惕，避之不及，少相处。

53. As an ancient saying goes: "A good merchant hides his wealth as if it were empty, and a gentleman with great virtues appears as if he were foolish." No matter how capable or talented a person may be, they should not overly display themselves or boast. Otherwise, they may provoke jealousy and face setbacks. Therefore, one must deeply understand the art of adapting to the times and being perceptive, being wise and resourceful, in order to enjoy the hustle and bustle at a leisurely pace and live a stable life. In dealing with people, one should be flexible and harmonious. One should not force things too much, as it is better to "anger a gentleman than a small person." Since dealing with small people can be challenging, the best approach is to maintain vigilance, avoid them as much as possible, and spend less time with them.

54. 与家人斤斤计较，获得了一时之利，失去一份情意；与家人相斗，获得了争论，输了了感情。家，是讲爱的地区，并不是讲道理的地区。可以适度低头承认错误，和谐相处，才能维持一家人的和谐，不许家人心寒，家中才能温暖。针对家人，大家何不多一点宽容，少一些争夺，多一点关怀，少一些抱怨，多一点浓情，少一些胜负。向家人低头，不出洋相，向恋人低头，不怪怪的。情感浓厚，才能白头偕老。

54. Arguing with family members may bring temporary gains, but it loses a piece of affection; fighting with family members brings disputes, and loses emotional bonds. Home is a place of love, not a place of logic. It is necessary to modestly admit mistakes and live in harmony to maintain the unity of the family, so that the family members do not feel cold, and the home can be warm. For family members, why not show more tolerance and less competition, more care and less complaint, more warmth and less rivalry? Bowing to family members is not a disgrace, and bowing to lovers is not strange. Only with strong emotions can they grow old together.

56. 整本书都是围绕朱氏家族企业集团来写的，首席CEO朱元章和朱棣都是很明智而且果断的执行力很强的领导者之一！善于用人，差不多都可以做到物尽其用，兔死狗烹！也是因为首届的董事长不太相信正常而用了宦官。以至于这个朝代非常流行这一产品。对于这个朝代灭亡的原因就在于言官的存在和文官集团势力过大，皇权受到抑制，因为文官的不干事(空谈放炮)和言官的不让人干事(弹劾)，二者共同的作用导致了明朝的灭。估计这一点他老人家也不知道，知道了肠子都悔青了！

56. The entire book revolves around the Zhu family enterprise group. The Chief CEO Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were both wise and decisive leaders with strong execution abilities! They were skilled at utilizing people, making almost all talents fully utilized, and they knew when to discard a person once their usefulness was over. It was also because the first chairman of the board did not trust normal people and employed eunuchs. This led to the popularity of this product in the dynasty. The reason for the downfall of this dynasty lies in the presence of the censors and the excessive power of the civil official group, which suppressed the imperial power. Because of the civil officials' inaction (idle talk and bombast) and the censors' interference (impeachment), both of which had a combined effect that led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty. It is estimated that the elder knew nothing about this, and if he had known, he would have regretted it deeply!
