雙語詩歌翻譯|《教學(xué)相長》

教學(xué)相長，漢語成語，意思是教和學(xué)兩方面互相影響和促進(jìn)，都得到提高。出自《禮記·學(xué)記》：“是故學(xué)然后知不足，教然后知困。知不足然后能自反也，知困然后能自強(qiáng)也。故曰教學(xué)相長也?！?/p>

《教學(xué)相長》（《禮記》節(jié)選）

雖有嘉肴，弗食，不知其旨也；雖有至道，弗學(xué)，不知其善也。是故學(xué)，然后知不足；教，然后知困。知不足；然后能自反也，知困；然后能自強(qiáng)也。故曰，教學(xué)相長也。

Even when there is good food, you will not know its deliciousness, if you don’t taste it; even when there is a good doctrine, you will not know its virtue, if you don’t learn it. Therefore, to learn makes us realize our deficiency, and to teach makes us know the difficulties. Having realized our deficiency, we may then come to reflect; having known the difficulties, we may be able to strengthen ourselves to overcome them. So, we say, to teach is to learn.
