Fan Zhongyan's story translation and explanation

Fan Zhongyan's story translation and explanation


Fan Zhongyan was two years old and lonely. His mother was poor and helpless. He lived in Zhu's family in shichangshan. He knew his family well and left his mother in tears. He went to Nandu and went to school. He studied hard day and night. He didn't get undressed and went to bed for five years



English translation
Just turn over this short paragraph:
When a man reads ten volumes of books, he will grow tall and despise the elder. A man is as ill as an enemy and as evil as an owl. It is better to learn without learning


The translation is as follows:
Learning is to make progress. But I see some people who have read dozens of books become arrogant, offend their elders and despise their peers. They hate him as if they were enemies, and they hate him as if they were owls. It's better not to learn if they use learning to harm themselves
The reason for this is as follows:
The purpose of learning is to achieve self-improvement and improve self-cultivation. If you rely on the knowledge you have learned to be arrogant and arrogant, have no eyes for the elderly, and despise your peers, it will inevitably lead to others' hatred like enemies and dislike like owls and owls. In this case, it's better not to learn. Yan Zhitui's family education theory has a great influence on later generations



Study hard for translation
The common people, regardless of their wisdom, want to know more people and see more things, but refuse to read. They prefer to be full and depend on food, warm and lazy, and cut clothes
Therefore, it is a good translation to be scorned and slandered by the common officials


1. People in the world, whether stupid or wise, want to know a lot of people and see a lot of things, but if they refuse to study, they are like eating enough but not willing to cook, and if they want to wear warm but not willing to make clothes
two
Is it really because of the above reasons that they were ridiculed and slandered by the common officials?
