雙語詩歌翻譯|曾子-《大學(xué)·七》

《大學(xué)》是一篇論述儒家修身治國(guó)平天下思想的散文，原是《小戴禮記》第四十二篇，相傳為曾子所作，實(shí)為秦漢時(shí)儒家作品，是一部中國(guó)古代討論教育理論的重要著作。經(jīng)北宋程顥、程頤竭力尊崇，南宋朱熹又作《大學(xué)章句》，最終和《中庸》、《論語》、《孟子》并稱“四書"。宋、元以后，《大學(xué)》成為學(xué)校官定的教科書和科舉考試的必讀書，對(duì)中國(guó)古代教育產(chǎn)生了極大的影響。

《大學(xué)·七》 曾子

所謂修身在正其心者：身有所忿懥，則不得其正；有所恐懼，則不得其正；有所好樂，則不得其正；有所憂患，則不得其正。心不在焉，視而不見，聽而不聞，食而不知其味，此謂修身在正其心。

What is meant by, "The cultivation of the person depends on rectifying the mind," may be thus illustrated: –If a man be under the influence of passion, he will be incorrect in his conduct. He will be the same, if he is under the influence of terror, or under the influence of fond regard, or under that of sorrow and distress. When the mind is not present, we look and do not see; we hear and do not understand; we eat and do not know the taste of what we eat. This is what is meant by saying that the cultivation of the person depends on the rectifying of the mind.
