4月10日,中国国家主席习近平应邀出席博鳌亚洲论坛2018年年会开幕式并发表重要主旨演讲。
在这次演讲中,习主席引用了不少古语,引得阵阵掌声。
下面,双语君(微信ID:Chinadaily_Mobile)就给小可爱们送上这些古语的英文翻译!掏出小本本一起来学习吧!
“天道酬勤,春华秋实”
天道酬勤,春华秋实。中国人民坚持聚精会神搞建设、坚持改革开放不动摇,持之以恒,锲而不舍,推动中国发生了翻天覆地的变化。
Heaven rewards those who work hard, and flowers in spring come to fruition in autumn. The focused endeavor in national development and unwavering commitment to reform and opening-up of the Chinese people have brought enormous changes to the country.
“天道酬勤”出自《书·大诰》
“天閟毖我成功,天亦惟用勤毖我民”
“春华秋实”
“华”同“花”
春天开花,秋天结实
“天行有常”,“应之以治则吉”
“天行有常”,“应之以治则吉”。中国进行改革开放,顺应了中国人民要发展、要创新、要美好生活的历史要求,契合了世界各国人民要发展、要合作、要和平生活的时代潮流。
An ancient Chinese classic teaches that heaven has its own law and those who embrace it will prosper. China's reform and opening-up meets its people's aspiration for development, innovation and a better life. It also meets the global trend toward development, cooperation and peace.
“天行有常”,“应之以治则吉”出自《荀子·天论》
“天行有常,不为尧存,不为桀亡;
应之以治则吉,应之以乱则凶。”
“不畏浮云遮望眼”
我们要不畏浮云遮望眼,善于拨云见日,把握历史规律,认清世界大势。
We must not let our vision be blocked by floating clouds. Instead, we must dispel the clouds to see the sun, as we say in Chinese, so as to have a keen grasp of the law of history and the trend of the world.
“不畏浮云遮望眼,自缘身在最高层”出自王安石《登飞来峰》
飞来山上千寻塔,闻说鸡鸣见日升。
不畏浮云遮望眼,自缘身在最高层。
“苟利于民,不必法古;
苟周于事,不必循俗”
中国的先人们早在2500多年前就认识到:“苟利于民,不必法古;苟周于事,不必循俗”。
A Chinese philosopher recognized as early as over 2,500 years ago that one doesn't have to follow a beaten path if he wishes to benefit the people and one doesn't have to observe old conventions if he wishes to get things done.
“苟利于民,不必法古;苟周于事,不必循俗”出自《淮南子·汜论训》
如果对民众有利,就不必非要效法古制;如果适合实际情况,就不必一定要遵循旧俗。
“积土而为山,积水而为海”
“积土而为山,积水而为海。”幸福和美好未来不会自己出现,成功属于勇毅而笃行的人。
As a Chinese saying goes, "A mountain is formed by accumulation of earth and an ocean is formed by accumulation of water." Happiness and a bright future will not appear automatically; success only favors those with courage and perseverance.
“积土而为山,积水而为海”出自《荀子·儒效》
泥土堆积起来能成为高山,细流汇积起来能形成大海
看了上面古语的翻译,是不是觉得意犹未尽?
