【论语原文选段之十一】杀身成仁

【原文选段之十二】仁者乐山

子曰：“知者乐水，仁者乐山；知者动，仁者静；知者乐，仁者寿。”

Confucius said ， “The wise enjoy water, the humane enjoy mountains. The wise are active, the humane are quiet. The wise are happy; the humane live long lives. ”

【今译】
孔子说： “聪明人喜欢水，仁者喜欢山；聪明人爱动，仁者爱静；聪明人快乐，仁者长寿。 ”

【原文选段之十三】礼之本

林放问礼之本。子曰：“大哉问！礼与其奢也宁俭；丧与其易也宁戚。”

Lin Fang asked about the essence of the rites. Confucius said, “A very significant question! The rites should be performed in a frugal way rather than in an extravagant way. Funerals should be held with grief rather than with pomposity.”

【今译】
林放问礼的根本道理。孔子说：“你问了一个重大的问题 !就礼仪而言，与其奢侈，不如节俭；就丧礼而言，与其大办，不如哀恸。”

【原文选段之十四】以礼让为国

子曰：“能以礼让为国乎？何有？不能以礼让为国乎，如礼何？”

Confucius said ， “What difficulties would there be if a state was governed with the rites and decorum? What use would the rites have if a state was not governed with the rites and decorum?”

【今译】
孔子说： “能够以礼让来治理国家吗？那有什么困难呢？如果不以礼让来治理国家，礼有什么用呢？”

【原文选段之十五】宽、敬、哀

子曰：“居上不宽，为礼不敬，临丧不哀，吾何以观之哉？”

Confucius said ， “What is there for me to observe of a man if he is not broad-minded when he is in high position, not reverent when he is performing the rites, and not sad when he is in mourning?”

【今译】
孔子说： “居于上位而不宽宏大量，行礼时不恭敬认真，遇到丧事而不悲哀，这种人还有什么可以观察的呢 ?”
