Isnt it also great when friends visit from distant places? If people do not recognize me and it doesnt bother me, am I not a Superior Man? 子曰：“不患人之不己知, 患不知人也。” Confucius said: I am not bothered by the fact that I am unknown. I am bothered when I do not know others. 子曰：“吾十有五而志于学, 三十而立, 四十而不惑, 五十而知天命, 六十而耳顺, 七十而从心所欲, 不逾矩。” Confucius said: At fifteen my heart was set on learning; at thirty I stood firm; at forty I had no more doubts; at fifty I knew the mandate of heaven; at sixty my ear was obedient; at seventy I could follow my hearts desire without transgressing the norm. .曾子曰：“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？”Tseng-tzu said that,everyday i reflect on myself,am i honest to what i said?am i honest to my friends?am i honest when i learned?子曰：“温故而知新，可以为师矣。”Confucius said that，got something from the past,you can be a teacher.子曰：“学而不思则罔,思而不学则殆。”Confucius said that，study without thinking makes you a fool, thinking without study makes you a criminal.子曰：“君子不器。”Confucius said that，human is not tool.子曰：“朝闻道，夕死可矣。”Confucius said that，for truth, i would like to die子曰：“由，诲女知之乎!知之为知之，不知为不知，是知也。”Confucius said: Yu, shall I teach you about knowledge? What you know, you know, what you dont know, you dont know. This is knowledge.子曰：“人而不仁, 如礼何。人而不仁, 如乐何”Confucius said: If a man has no humaneness what can his propriety be like? If a man has no humaneness what can his music be like?子曰：“人之过也, 各于其党。观过, 斯知仁矣。”Confucius said: People err according to their own level. It is by observing a persons mistakes that you can know his/her goodness.子曰：“君子喻于义, 小人喻于利。”Confucius said: The Superior Man is aware of Rightness, the inferior man is aware of advantage.1、子曰：为政以德，其如北辰，居其所，而众星共（拱）之。The Master said, He who rules by moral force is like the pole-star, which remains in its place while all the lesser stars do homage to it.2、子曰：诗三百，一言以蔽之。曰：思无邪。The Master said, If out of the three hundred Songs I had to take one phrase to cover all my teaching, I would say “Let there be no evil in your thoughts.”3、子曰：吾十有五而志于学，三十而立，四十而不惑，五十而知天命，六十而耳顺，七十而从心所欲，不逾矩。The Master said, At fifteen I set my heart upon learning. At thirty, I had planted my feet firm upon the ground. At forty, I no longer suffered from perplexities. At fifty, I knew what were the bidding of Heaven. At sixty, I heard them with docile ear. At seventy, I could follow the dictates of my own heart; for what I desired no longer overstepped the boundaries of right.4、子游问孝。子曰：今之孝者，是谓能养。至于犬马，皆能有养。不敬，何以别乎！Tzu-yu asked about the treatment of parents. The Master said, “Filial sons” nowadays are people who see to it that their parents get enough to eat. But even dogs and horses are cared for to that extent. If there is no feeling of respect, wherein lies the difference?5、子曰：饭疏食饮水，曲肱而枕之，乐亦在其中矣。不义而富且贵，于我如浮云。The Master said, He who seeks only coarse food to eat, water to drink and a bent arm for pillow, will without looking for tit find happiness to boot. Any thought of accepting wealth and rank by means that I know to be wrong is as remote from me as the clouds that float above.6、子贡问曰：有一言而可以终身行之者乎？子曰：其恕乎！己所不欲，勿施于人。Tzu-kung asked saying, Is there any single saying that one can act upon all day and every day? The Master said, Perhaps the saying about consideration: “Never do to others what you would not like them to do to you.”子曰：“不愤不启，不悱不发，举一隅不以三隅反，则不复也。”Master said: No, anger is not Kai, do not but can not speak no hair, lifting a corner counter not to Misumi is not complex people. 子曰：“吾尝终日不食，终夜不寝，以思，无益，不如学也。” Master said: I try not eat all day long, all night without sleep, to think, no good, it is better to school. 子曰：“知之者不如好知者，好之者不如乐知者。” Master said: of those who know better than those who know good music than of those who know who. 子曰：“由，诲女知之乎？知之为知之，不知为不知，是知也。” Master said: by, Hui women know it or Down? Know them as know it, I do not know as I do not know, that is knowledge. 子曰：“见贤思齐焉，见不贤而内自省也。” Master said: emulate Yan, see Yin and within the non-introspective people. 子曰：“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。” Master said: Gentlemen eat food without demand, ranking without seeking security, and sensitive to the issues but cautious in speech, there is the Tao Yan, can be described as easy to learn also. 生肖牛：Ox，虎：Tiger，兔：Hare，龙：Dragon ，蛇：Snake，马：Horse，羊：Sheep，猴：Monkey，鸡：Cock，狗：Dog，猪：Boar。“十二生肖”是指12种动物，即鼠、牛、虎、兔、龙、蛇、马、羊、猴、鸡、狗、猪。也就是俗话说的“属相”(animal signs)，是中国人特有的一种表示出生时间的方式。在英语中与它们有关的谚语(proverb).习语(idiom)有很多，而且有时具有出人意料的意思。另外，表示同一动物的单词往往也不止一个。在特定的谚语.习语中需要使用特定的表示该动物的单词，不能混淆。这在很大程度上是由于中西方对动物的看法不同。一、 鼠(rat) (口，比喻）不忠的人；（尤指困难时）背弃事业的人；讨厌的人；不忠的人；(美,俚)新学生、下流女人。与它有关的谚语、习语多含贬义。例如：1.a rat leaving a sinking ship 不能共患难的人2.die like a rat 被毒死 3.have a rat in a garret 不安，想入非非；（口）难以实现的梦想 4. a rat in a hole 瓮中之鳖 5.(look)like a drowned rat（湿的）像落汤鸡. 6.rat out 夹着尾巴走，在尴尬中离去 7.Rats！ 胡说！瞎扯！(具有斥责、生气的意味) 8.Rats desert a sinking ship. 树倒猢狲散 9.smell a rat（口） 怀疑某事不对头，感到不妙 10.the rat race(口,贬) 卑鄙/激烈的竞争(尤指为保住职位和地位)playcatandmousewithsb.欲擒故纵，(像猫抓耗子似地)欺负(折磨、虐待)某人 Thepolicemandecidedtoplaycatandmousewhenhesawthewomanstealthedressinthestore.另外，表示鼠的单词还有mouse(复数为mice)。下面的则是使用mouse的习语。11.as poor as a church mouse 一贫如洗，赤贫的 12.like a drowned mouse 狼狈不堪/落汤鸡/落水狗 13.play cat and mouse with sb. 对某人时好时坏14.(as)quiet as a mouse 不出声；无声响二、 牛(ox) （不分性别的通称）；公牛；阉牛。相关的谚语、习语很生动形象。例如：15.ox-eyed 大眼睛的 16.The black Ox has trod on sbs foot灾祸已降临到某人头上/某人已人老珠黄 而bull则表示“公牛”。例如： 17.a bull in a china shop莽撞闯祸的人18.like a bull at a gate 狂怒地，凶猛地 19.milk the bull干徒劳的事20.take the bull by the horns 不畏艰险21.throw the bull (美俚)吹牛，夸张 likearedragtoabull使愤怒Anystatementagainstthegovernmentislikearedragtoabulltothatminister另外，cow是指母牛，奶牛。例如：22.a sacred cow 圣牛，神圣之物 23.till the cows come home 无限期地，永远地， Ifyourewaitingforhimtopayyou,youllwaittillthecowscomehome killthefattedcalf热情款待，设宴欢迎 Hewelcomedmeathomebykillingthefattedcalf.三、 虎(tiger) 凶恶的人，虎狼之徒；英（穿制服的）马夫；口（比赛的）劲敌。例如：24.ride the tiger以非常不确定或危险的方式生活 24.fight like a tiger 极力攻击某人或保护自己25.a paper tiger 纸老虎 26.How can you catch tiger cubs without entering the tigers lair?不入虎穴，焉得虎子? 27.work like a tiger 生龙活虎地干活四、 兔(hare) （英俚）坐车不买票的人。例如：28.make a hare of sb.愚弄某人。29.start a hare。在讨论中提出枝节问题。30.
