以前我们不知道什么是真正的善良,便总以为让人喜欢自己就是善良了。但叔叔告诉我们其实不是这样,如果一个人要坚持他的原则的话,他是必定会招致一些人的讨厌的,而真正善良的人,他必定是个坚守原则的人。这一点叔叔让我们背的《论语》和看的《了凡四训》里面其实也都讲到过:一个人如果为了讨好别人而不顾原则,那么即使有一乡的人说他好,那么圣人也必定会说他是道德之贼。
Before we didn’t know what goodness is, thus always thought that making others like us is goodness. But uncle told us that it was not like this, on the contrary, if one keeps his tenets, he will be disliked anyway, and the real good person, he must keep his tenets. This point also appears in Lun Yu and Liao Fan Si Xun which uncle asked to learn: if one flatters others but not keeps his tenets, then even a whole village think he is good, Saints will say that he is a thief of morality.
六月来了,端午也随之到来了。按照以往的惯例,我们在端午节那天吃了粽子,然后又找来了艾草。艾草还是从院子里摘来的,都十分新鲜,散发着淡淡的香气。六月的到来也意味着这个学期即将要结束了。而既然快要到期末,最近的任务便也有些多了起来,需要写文章和准备PPT。但这自然也难不倒我们,大家还是努力迅速地完成了任务,并能留出许多时间做其他事情。比如,子滕同学就利用每天的课余时间将钢琴已弹得颇为优秀,甚至即将要去参加一场比赛了。
June comes, with which Duan Wu also comes. According to previous traditions, we ate Zong Zi on Duan Wu, and got wormwood. It was in our yard we got wormwood. It was very fresh, and had a delicate pleasant smell. The coming of June also means the coming ending of this semester. Since it was near, the amount of our assignments also got raised, but this could not get us. We still quickly finished them and found much time to do other things. For exam ple, Tom had made his skill on piano quite good now, and was even going to participate a piano competition.
