谈 教 养

十九世紀英國名詩人 Christina Rossetti  的詩,用風來譬喻教養:

 

Who has seen the wind?

Neither I nor you;

But when the leaves hang trembling,

The wind is passing thro!

 

這首詩可以翻譯成:

 

跟我,

都沒有見過風,

但是當樹上的葉兒在哆嗦的時候,

風正和我們擦身而過.

 

 

在《論語顏淵篇》裡,有一個很相似的描述:

 

君子之德風,

小人之德草,

草上之風必偃.

 

那就是說君子的風範,氣度和品格,雖然看不見,摸不著,但是他周圍的人郤都會體會到,感受到,受到薰陶和影響.

True friendship is so precious it should not be discarded lightly.

真正的友誼是寶貴的,不能輕易放棄.

 

We should look for the good in our friends and compliment them.
