Analects of Confucius：关于孔子的语录集，不等于孔子亲著

子曰，学而时习之，不亦说乎。有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎。人不知而不愠，不亦君子乎。

1. The Master said, "Is it not pleasant to learn with a constant perseverance and application? 2. "Is it not delightful to have friends coming from distant quarters? 3. "Is he not a man of complete virtue, who feels no discomposure though men may take no note of him?"

以“子曰”开篇，是孔子声音居于全书中心的典型。

有子曰，其为人也孝弟，而好犯上者鲜矣，不好犯上，而好作乱者，未之有也。君子务本，本立，而道生，孝弟也者，其为仁之本与。

1. The philosopher Yu said, "They are few who, being filial and fraternal, are fond of offending against their superiors. There have been none, who, not liking to offend against their superiors, have been fond of stirring up confusion. 2. "The superior man bends his attention to what is radical.That being established, all practical courses naturally grow up. Filial piety and fraternal submission!—are they not the root of all benevolent actions?"

说话者是有子；引用“君子务本”时不应直接署名孔子。

曾子曰，吾日三省吾身，为人谋，而不忠乎，与朋友交，而不信乎，传不习乎。

The philosopher Tsang said, "I daily examine myself on three points:—whether, in transacting business for others, I may have been not faithful;—whether, in intercourse with friends, I may have been not sincere;—whether I may have not mastered and practised the instructions of my teacher."

“吾日三省吾身”由曾子说出，是最常被错署给孔子的句子之一。

樊迟问仁。子曰，爱人。问知。子曰，知人。樊迟未达。子曰，擧直错诸枉，能使枉者直。樊迟退，见子夏曰，乡也，吾见于夫子而问知。子曰，擧直错诸枉，能使枉者直，何谓也。子夏曰，富哉言乎。舜有天下，选于众，擧皋陶，不仁者远矣，汤有天下，选于众，擧伊尹，不仁者远矣。

1. Fan Ch'ih asked about benevolence. The Master said, "It is to love all men." He asked about knowledge. The Master said, "It is to know all men." 2. Fan Ch'ih did not immediately understand these answers. 3. The Master said, "Employ the upright and put aside all the crooked;—in this way the crooked can be made to be upright." 4. Fan Ch'ih retired, and, seeing Tsze-hsia, he said to him, "A Little while ago, I had an interview with our Master, and asked him about knowledge. He said, "Employ the upright, and put aside all the crooked;—in this way, the crooked will be made to be upright." What did he mean?" 5. Tsze-hsia said, "Truly rich is his saying! 6. "Shun, being in possession of the kingdom, selected from among all the people, and employed Kao-yao, on which all who were devoid of virtue disappeared. T'ang, being in possession of the kingdom, selected from among all the people, and employed I Yin, and all who were devoid of virtue disappeared."

樊迟问仁、问知，孔子先短答，再因未达而补充，保留了教学过程。

子贡问曰，有一言，而可以终身行之者乎。子曰，其恕乎，己所不欲，勿施于人。

Tsze-kung asked, saying, "Is there one word which may serve as a rule of practice for all one's life?" The Master said, "Is not reciprocity such a word? What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others."

子贡提出“一言”问题，孔子以“恕”回应；问题属于答案的一部分。

子夏曰，博学而笃志，切问而近思，仁在其中矣。

Tsze-hsia said, "There are learning extensively, and having a firm and sincere aim; inquiring with earnestness, and reflecting with self-application:—virtue is in such a course."

“博学而笃志，切问而近思”由子夏说出，显示弟子言论也是今本内容。
