-
I heard, that you settled
down.
已闻君，诸事安康。
That
you, found a girl and you married now.
遇佳人，不久婚嫁。
I heard
that your dreams came true.
已闻君，得偿所想。
Guess she gave you things, I didn't
give to you.
料得是，卿识君望。
Old friend, why are you soshy?
旧日知己，何故张皇？
It
ain't like you to hold back orhide from the lie.
遮遮掩掩，欲盖弥彰。
I hate to turn up out of the blue
uninvited.
客有不速，实非我所想。
ButI couldn't stay away, I couldn't
fight it.
避之不得，遑论与相抗。
I'd
hoped you'd see my face& that you'd be
reminded,
异日偶遇，识得依稀颜。
That
for me, it isn'tover.
再无所求，涕零而泪下。
Nevermind, I'll find someone like
you.
毋须烦恼，终有弱水替沧海。
Iwish nothing but the best, for you
too.
抛却纠缠，再把相思寄巫山。
Don'tforget me, I beg, I remember
yousaid:
勿忘昨日，亦存君言于肺腑。
“
情堪隽永，也善心潮掀狂澜。
”
Sometimesit lasts in love but
sometimes it hurts instead, yeah.
情堪隽永，也善心潮掀狂澜，然。
You'd know, how the time flies.
光阴常无踪，词穷不敢道荏苒。
Only yesterday, was the time of our
lives.
欢笑仍如昨，今却孤影忆花繁。
We
were born and raised in a summery haze.
彼时初执手，夏雾郁郁湿衣衫。
Boundby the surprise of our glory
days.
自缚旧念中，诧喜荣光永不黯。

情堪隽永，也善心潮掀狂澜，然。
Nothing compares, no
worries orcares.
无可与之相提，切莫忧心同挂念。
Regret'sand mistakes they're memories
made.
糊涂遗恨难免，白璧微瑕方可恋。
Who would have known how bittersweet
this would taste?
此中酸甜苦咸，世上谁人堪相言？
Nevermind, I'll find
someone likeyou.
毋须烦恼，终有弱水替沧海。

但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。
We
wish each other a long life so as to share the
beauty of this graceful moonlight, even though
miles apart.
独在异乡为异客，每逢佳节倍思亲。
A lonely stranger in a strange land I
am cast, I miss my family all the more on every
festive day.
大江东去，浪淘尽，千古风流人物。
The endless river eastward flows; with
its huge waves are gone all those gallant heroes
of bygone
years.
二人同心，其利断金。
If two
people are of the same mind, their sharpness can
cut through metal.
富贵不能淫，贫贱不能移，威武不能曲，此之谓大丈夫。
It is a true great man whom no money
and rank can confuse, no poverty and hardship can
shake,
and no power and force can
suffocate.
海内存知己，天涯若比邻。
A
bosom friend afar brings distance near.
合抱之木，生于毫末，九层之台，起于累土；千里之行始于足
下。
A huge tree that fills
one’s arms grows from a tiny seedling; a
nine
-storied tower rises from a heap
of earth; a thousand li journey starts
with the first step.
祸兮，福之所依；福兮，祸之所伏。
Misfortune, that is where happiness
depends; happiness, that is where misfortune
underlies.
见贤思齐焉，见不贤而内自省也。
On
seeing
a
man
of
virtue,
try
to
become
his
equal;
on
seeing
a
man
without
virtue,
examine
yourself not to have
the same defects.
江山如此多娇，引无数英雄尽折腰。
This land so rich in beauty has made
countless heroes bow in homage.
举头望明月，低头思故乡。
Raising my head, I see the moon so
bright; withdrawing my eyes, my nostalgia comes
around.
俱往矣，数风流人物，还看今朝。
All are past and gone; we look to this
age for truly great men.
君子成人之美，不成人之恶。
The
gentleman helps others to achieve their moral
perfection but not their evil conduct.
君子独立不惭于影，独寝不愧于魂。
A righteous man never feels ashamed to
face his shadow when standing alone and to face
his soul
when sleeping alone.
君子之交淡如水，小人之交甘如醴。君子淡以亲，小人甘以绝。
The friendship between men of virtue is
light like water, yet affectionate; the friendship
between
men without virtue is sweet
like wine, yet easily broken.
老吾老以及人之老，幼吾幼以及人之幼。
Expend the r
espect of the
aged in one’s family to that of other families;
expend the love of the
young ones in
one’s family to that of other families.
礼尚往来。往而不来，非礼也；来而不往，亦非礼也。
Propriety suggests reciprocity. It is
not propriety not to give out but to receive, or
vice versa.
两情若是长久时，又岂在朝朝暮暮。
If love between both sides can last for
aye, why need they stay together night and day?
路漫漫其修远兮，吾将上下而求索。
The way ahead is long; I see no ending,
yet high and low I’ll search with my will
unbending.
民为贵，社稷次之，君为轻。
The
people are the most important element in a state;
next are the gods of land and grain; least is
the ruler himself.
千丈之堤，以蝼蚁之穴溃；百尺之屋，以突隙之烟焚。
A long dike will collapse because of an
ant-hole in it; a tall building will be burned
down by a
spark from a chimney’s
chink.
锲而舍之，朽木不折，锲而不舍，金石可镂。
Carve but give up half way, even a
decayed piece of wood will not break; carve
without stop, even
metal and stone can
be engraved.
人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴阳缺，此事古难全。
People
have
sorrow
and
joy;
they
part
and
meet
again.
The
moon
dims
or
shines;
it
waxes
or
wanes. Nothing is
perfect, not even in the olden days.
人之于文学也，犹玉之于琢磨也。
Learning and culture are to a person
what polished and grinding are to jade.
三人行，必有我师焉。择其善者而从之，其不善者而改之。
Among any three people walking, I will
find something to learn for sure. Their good
qualities are
to be followed, and their
shortcomings are to be avoided.
士不可以不弘毅，任重而道远。仁以为己任，不亦重乎？死而后己，不亦远乎？
An
educated
gentleman
cannot
but
be
resolute
and
broad-minded,
for
he
has
taken
up
a
heavy
responsibility and a
long course. Is it not a heavy responsibility,
which is to practice benevolence?
Is it
not a long course, which will end only with his
death?
士之为人，当理不避其难，临患忘利，遗生行义，视死如归。
A moral intellectual is one who escapes
no danger in face of truth, discards personal
interests in
front
of
disaster,
practices
righteousness
at
the
expense
of
life,
and
looks
upon
death
as
going
home.
逝者如斯夫！不舍昼夜。
The
passage of time is just like the flow of water,
which goes on day and night.
顺天者存，逆天者亡。
Those
who follow the Heaven’s law will survive;
those
who go against it will perish.
天将降大任于斯人也，必先苦其心志，劳其筋骨，饿其体肤，
空乏其身，行拂乱其所为，所
以动心忍性，增益其所不能。
When Heaven is about to place a great
responsibility on a great man, it always first
frustrates his
spirit and will,
exhausts his muscles and bones, exposes him to
starvation and poverty, harasses
him
by
troubles
and
setbacks
so
as
to
stimulate
his
spirit,
toughen
his
nature
and
enhance
his
abilities.
天生我才必有用。
Heaven
has endowed me with talents for eventual use.
天时不如地利，地利不如人和。
Opportunities vouchsafed by Heaven are
less important than terrestrial advantages, which
in turn
are less important than the
unity among people.
天行健，君子以自强不息。
As
Heaven’s movement is ever vigorous, so must a
gentleman ceaselessly strive along.
温故而知新，可以为师矣。
He who by reviewing the old can gain
knowledge of the new and is fit to be a teacher.
物格而后知至，知至而后意诚，意诚而后心正，心正而后身修
，身修而后家齐，家齐而后治
