《论语》经典名句英语翻译，值得珍藏！

《论语》The Confucian Analects  

         [ðə kənˈfjuːʃən ˌænə'lekts] 

学而时习之，不亦说乎？

It is indeed a pleasure to acquire knowledge and, as you go on acquiring, to put into practice what you have acquired.

有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎?

A greater pleasure still it is when friends of congenial minds come from afar to seek you because of your attainments.

温故而知新，可以为师矣。

If a man will constantly go over what he has acquired and keep continually adding to it new acquirements, he may become a teacher of men.

学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆。

Study without thinking is labor lost. Thinking without study is perilous.

君子周而不比，小人比而不周。

A wise man is impartial, not neutral. A fool is neutral but not impartial.

知之为知之，不知为不知，是知也。

To know what it is that you know, and to know what it is that you do not know, —that is understanding.
