同龄人语

一辆耀武扬威的大卡车上背着一块大木牌 , 上面写着：“本车与他车相撞 17 次，

其中 15 次大胜，1 次平局，只有 1 次失利。故诸君在撞我之前要三思而后行！”
这是以玩笑的态度来告诫我们生活中做事应当多考虑。“三思”尚且如此，可见孔
夫子提出的“九思”的重要性。

尽管“九思”在现实中要全部做到好像极为困难，但我们也不应该对“九思”

抱以置之不理的态度。我们应当尽自己的全力先去实行一两种，那么只要再接再厉，
就会积少成多。
小伙伴们，假如你能够真正做到日日“九思”，身体力行，那便离君子不远矣！

（蒋嘉琦）

英译

Confucius remarked, “There are nine objects which a wise man aims at. In the use of
his eyes, his object is to see clearly. In the use of his ears, his object is to hear distinctly.

In the expression of his look, his object is to be gracious. In his manners, his object is
to be serious. In what he says, his object is to be sincere. In business, his object is to be

earnest. In doubt, his object is to seek for information. In anger, his object is to think of
consequences. In view of personal advantage, his object is to think of what is right.”
