【过则勿惮改】

子曰：“君子不重，则不威，学则不固。主忠信。无友不如己者。过，则勿惮 ^① 改。”

——《论语·学而》

【注释】

1 惮（dàn）：畏惧、害怕。

【参考译文】

孔子说：“君子如果不庄重，就没有威严，（这种情况下）即使学习，所学的知识也不能巩固。要以忠和信这两种品德为主要的追求目标。不要跟不如自己的人交朋友。有了过错，就不要害怕改正。”

Confucius said: “A noble person who lacks gravity has no authority and his learning will remain shallow. A noble person puts loyalty and faithfulness foremost; he does not accept anyone as friend who is not as good as him. When he makes a mistake, he is not afraid to amend his ways.” 7uiJmvuGWrZKxCawlVQa3QZiMNMQPQCrXdtQQpTiShuo45S/t7UYGEm0y4ndT43o
