假如你了解作家阿城笔下一生只愿呆在那“楚河汉界”里厮杀的“棋王”,你
就可能知道“定式”是如何下的了,那是一个两分的局面,不亏也不占便宜。但你
若将它强用于其他领域,通常达不到原有的效果,反而可能对自己造成不利。能下
出“定式”的棋手固然好,却也需要观察形势,就像人与人交谈也要察言观色一般。
诚实而直率的确好,但也要在恰当的场合发挥,否则他人受打击,你的友情也将被
惨遭抛弃。
所以,种种优秀的品质需要你“好学”应变才能更加完美地展现出来。(朱宸阳)
英译
Confucius once remarked to Zilu, saying, “Have you ever heard of the six virtues and
their failures?” “No,” replied Zilu. “Sit down then,” said Confucius, “and I will tell you.”
“First there is the mere love of morality: that alone, without culture, falls into ignorance.
Secondly, there is the mere love of knowledge: that alone, without culture, tends to
dilettantism. Thirdly, there is the mere love of honesty: that alone, without culture,
produces heartlessness. Fourthly, there is the mere love of uprightness: that alone, without
culture, leads to tyranny. Fifthly, there is the mere love of courage: that alone, without
culture, produces recklessness. Sixthly, there is the mere love of strength of character: that
alone, without culture, produces conceit.”
