One day, Ping Gong, the King of the State of Jin, said to his minister Shi Kuang: "I am over 70 years old.

有一天，晉國(guó)君主晉平公對(duì)他的臣子師曠說(shuō):“我已經(jīng)七十多歲了。

Though I "am eager to read some books, I feel it is too late."

雖然很想讀些書(shū)，但是，總覺(jué)得時(shí)間太晚了!”

Shi Kuang said: "Too late? Why don't you light the candle?"

師曠說(shuō): “時(shí)間太晚嗎?為卜么不把蠟燭點(diǎn)起來(lái)呢?”

Ping Gong said: "I am serious. But you go so far as to make fun of me!"

平公說(shuō): “我和你說(shuō)正經(jīng)話，怎么，你竟和我開(kāi)起玩笑來(lái)了!”

Shi Kuang said: "How dare I, a blind minister, make fun of Your Majesty?

師曠說(shuō): “我這個(gè)雙目失明的臣子，哪里敢和大王開(kāi)玩笑!

I heard that when a man in his youth is fond of studying, he is like the rising sun, brilliant and magnificent;

我聽(tīng)說(shuō)，一個(gè)人在少年的時(shí)候好學(xué)，就像初升的太陽(yáng)那樣，輝煌而燦爛;

when a man in the prime of life is fond of studying, he is like the sun at noon, with still half a day's good time ahead;

壯年的時(shí)候好學(xué)，猶如正午的太陽(yáng)，還有半天的好時(shí)光呢;

when a man in his old age is fond of studying, he is like the flame of a candle.

老年的時(shí)候好學(xué)，就像蠟燭的火焰一樣。

Though the light is failing, it is better than groping in the dark."

蠟燭的光亮雖然是有限的，但是有了它，總比在黑暗中摸索著前進(jìn)要好些吧!”

Hearing Shi Kuang's words, Ping Gong of Jin said with pleasure:

聽(tīng)了師曠的話，晉平公高興地說(shuō):

"How well you have put it!"

“你說(shuō)得多好啊!”
