2014比利时欧洲学院演讲

他们提出的很多理念，如孝悌忠信、礼义廉耻、仁者爱人、与人为善、天人合一、道法自然、自强不息等，至今仍然深深影响着中国人的生活。

The extensive and profound schools of thought they established covered many important ideas, such as the moral injunction of fidelity to one's parents and brothers and to the monarch and friends, the sense of propriety, justice, integrity and honor, the emphasis on benevolence and kindness towards fellow human beings and the belief that man should be in harmony with nature, follow nature's course and unremittingly pursue self-renewal. These values and teachings still carry a profound impact on Chinese people's way of life today.

我们的先人早就提出了“天行健，君子以自强不息”的思想，强调要“苟日新，日日新，又日新”。

Our ancestors taught us that "as heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-perfection", and that "if one can make things better for one day, he should make them better every day".

这个时候需要“明知山有虎，偏向虎山行”的勇气，不断把改革推向前进。

To use a Chinese saying, we must "get ready to go into the mountain, being fully aware that there may be tigers to encounter".

“图难于其易，为大于其细。天下难事，必作于易；天下大事，必作于细。”

As we say in China, he who wants to accomplish a big and difficult undertaking should start with easier things first and make sure that all details are attended to.

2000多年前中国人就认识到了这个道理：“橘生淮南则为橘，生于淮北则为枳，叶徒相似，其实味不同。所以然者何？水土异也。”

The Chinese people, over 2,000 year ago, had come to understand this from a simple fact that the tasty orange, grown in southern China, would turn sour once it is grown in the north. The leaves may look the same, but the fruits taste quite different, because the north means different location and different climate.

As we Chinese believe, one needs to not only read 10,000 books, but also travel 10,000 miles to know the world around us.
