Less in classical Chinese and meaning

1. The fewer the 4 short classical Chinese texts and translations, the better

① "He who looks at the sea has difficulty in water" Original text: Mencius said: "Confucius climbed the East Mountain and Xiaolu, climbed the The mountains are too small and the world is small. Therefore, it is difficult for those who look at the sea to understand the water, and it is difficult for those who swim in the gate of the sage to understand the water. The sun and the moon are bright, and the light will shine on them. "A gentleman's ambition is to achieve the goal if it is not accomplished."

Translation: Mencius said: "When Confucius climbed to Dongshan, he felt that the country of Lu had shrunk. When he climbed to Mount Tai, he only felt that the world had shrunk." It is difficult for people who have crossed the sea to be interested in (small) water, and it is difficult for people who have studied under the sages to be interested in (other) doctrines. There is something special about appreciating water. You must watch the rolling waves, the dazzling brilliance of the sun and the moon. It will shine through small gaps. When water flows up the ground, it will not flow forward until it fills the low-lying areas. A gentleman will not be able to reach a certain level if he is determined to follow the path. "Book" is not as good as no "Book"" Original text: Mencius said: "Believing fully in "Book" is not as good as not having "Book". I only took two or three strategies from "Wucheng". A benevolent person is invincible in the world. Even benevolence will defeat him. How can one be so unkind as to shed blood?"

Translation: Mencius said: "If we completely believe in the Book, it would be better if we didn't have the Book. There are only two or three bamboo slips among them. The benevolent are invincible in the world. How can the most benevolent people conquer the least benevolent people without causing so much blood that the wooden hammer will float?"

③ The original text of "Fan Zhongyan Aspires to the World": Fan Zhongyan was orphaned at the age of two. His mother was poor and helpless, so he suited the Zhu family in Changshan. When he grew up, he knew his family, so he wept and bid farewell to his mother, and went to study in Nandu. He studied hard day and night and didn't even take off his clothes to go to bed for five years. Or if you are lazy at night, you often wet your face with water. Often the rice porridge is not enough, and the food is eaten at the end of the day. Then the purpose of the Six Classics is understood, and the ambition is to be in the world. I often recite to myself: You should worry about the worries of the world first, and rejoice after the happiness of the world.

Translation: Fan Zhongyan’s father died when he was two years old. My mother was very poor and had no support. So he remarried to the Zhu family in Changshan. (Fan Zhongyan) When he grew up, he knew his life and death, bid farewell to his mother with tears in his eyes, and left to study at Nandu Academy in Yingtian Mansion. (He) studied hard during the day and late at night. In five years, I never took off my clothes and went to bed. Sometimes I feel drowsy at night and often pour water on my face. (Fan Zhongyan) I often study hard during the day and eat nothing until the sun turns west. In this way, he understood the main purpose of the Six Classics, and later set up his ambition to benefit the world. He often preached by himself: "Be anxious when the world is worried, and be happy when the world is happy."

④ "Nurture the heart, don't be good at few desires" Original text: Mencius said: "Nurture the heart, don't be good at few desires. . He is a man who has few desires, even if he does not have them. He is a man of few; he is a man who has many desires, but if he has some desires, he is a man of few."

Translation: Mencius said: "Cultivation of character is the best. The best way is to reduce desires. He has few desires, and even if he loses his good nature, he has very few desires; he has many desires, and even if he retains his good nature, there are very few.

⑤ "Shi Chong and Wang Kai compete for power" Original text: Shi Chong and Wang Kai compete for power, and they use beauty to decorate their official clothes. Emperor Wu was Kai's nephew and helped Kai every time. I tried to give Kai a coral tree with a height of two feet. The branches are thick and sparse, which is rare in the world. Kai showed his admiration; after admiring him, he struck it with iron Ruyi, and it shattered in his hand. Kai felt sorry for him, but also thought it was a treasure to hurt him, so he sounded very harsh. Chong said: "I don't want to hate you, I will return it to you now." Then he ordered everyone on the left and right to take coral trees, three or four feet long, with unparalleled trunks, six or seven of which were dazzling, like many of Kai Xubi's. Kai Ran lost himself.

Translation: Shi Chong and Wang Kai competed for wealth, and both tried their best to decorate their vehicles and clothes with the most gorgeous things. Emperor Wu was Wang Kai's nephew and often helped Wang Kai. He once gave Wang Kai a coral tree about two feet high with lush branches and leaves. There were at least no coral trees in the world that could compare with it. Wang Kai took it out and showed it to Shi Chong. After Shi Chong read it, he hit it with Tie Ruyi and it broke into pieces. Wang Kai felt sorry and thought that Shi Chong was jealous of his treasure, so he scolded Shi Chong loudly and sternly. Shi Chong said: "It's not worth regretting. I will give it back to you now." Even if he brought all his own coral trees, there were six or seven branches three or four feet high. The beauty of the branches was unique in the world, and they were bright and gorgeous. Although, there are many coral trees of the same height as Wang Kai. Wang Kai felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

2. There are fewer classical Chinese words and the meaning needs to be translated and the original text should be included

Zheng people buy shoes (Warring States) Han Feizi

Original text: Zheng people who want to buy shoes should first buy their own shoes Measure (duó) its feet and place it on its seat. Go to the market and forget to operate it. Having found the shoes, he said: "I forgot to uphold the measure (dù)." Instead, he returned to take it. And the opposite. The market is over, so I can't walk. People said: "Why not give it a try?" He said: "It is better to have trust than to have confidence."

Translation: There was a man from Zheng who wanted to buy shoes. He first measured his own The size of your feet, and then put the measured size on your seat. When I was getting ready to go to the market, I forgot to take the measured size. After getting the shoes, he said, "I forgot to bring the size I ordered." So he went back to get the size. By the time he returned, the market had closed. In the end, he didn't buy any shoes and returned in frustration. Someone asked: "Why don't (you) just try it on your feet?" (He) said: "I would rather believe in the measured size than my own feet."

Zheng Renmai Shoe is not only an idiom, an allusion, but also a fable. It tells the story of the Zheng people who believed too much in "measures" and could not buy shoes. It tells people to seek truth from facts when encountering problems, to be flexible and not to stick to dogma.

This Zheng Guoren made the mistake of dogmatism. He only believed in the size obtained by measuring his feet instead of his own feet. Not only did he make a big joke, but he couldn't even buy shoes and became the butt of the joke. In real life, it may not happen that you only trust your foot size when buying shoes but not your feet, right? But there are indeed people like this. Some people speak, do things, and think about problems only from books, not from reality; they believe what is written in books, and they do not believe what is not written in books but actually exists. In the eyes of such people, only what is written in books is the truth, and what is not written is not the truth. In this way, thoughts will of course become rigid and actions will hit a wall. 3. Looking for a short article in classical Chinese and its translation

Carving a boat to ask for a sword,

There was a Chu man who was wading into the river. His sword fell from the boat into the water, and the boat was suddenly moved (jù qì). , said: "This is where my (wú) sword fell from." The boat stopped, and he entered the water to find it from where it fell. The boat has moved (yǐ), but the sword cannot move. Isn't it confusing to ask for a sword like this?

There was a man from Chu State who was crossing a river. His sword fell from the boat into the water. He hurriedly marked the place where the sword fell with his knife on the side of the boat and said: "This is The place where my sword fell." The boat stopped when it reached its destination, and the Chu man jumped into the water from where he had carved the mark to look for the sword. The ship has sailed, but the sword has not moved forward. Isn't it confusing to look for the sword like this?

After thinking carefully, if all the ideas come from my heart, then I can get it. ...The ancients said: "If you read it a thousand times, its meaning will appear by itself." If you are familiar with it, you will know its meaning by yourself without waiting for explanation. Yu Chang said that there are three principles of reading, namely, understanding with the heart, understanding with the eyes, and understanding with the mouth. If the mind is not here, the eyes will not look carefully. The mind will not be focused, but will only wander. When reciting, you can never memorize it, nor can you memorize it for a long time.

I once said: There are three aspects of reading, namely, understanding with the heart, understanding with the eyes, and understanding with the mouth. If the mind is not on the book, then the eyes will not read carefully. If the mind and eyes are not attentive, but just read casually, they will definitely not be able to remember it, and even if they can remember it, they will not last long. Among the three, the heart is the most important. The heart has already arrived, can the eyes and mouth not reach it?
