古人是如何学习的,头悬梁锥刺股、凿壁偷光,这两个办法我都不建议。不过除了这些自虐暴力的方法外,古人还是有很多温柔的学习方法和建议的。
学而时习之,不亦说乎?
It is indeed a pleasure to acquire knowledge and, as you go on acquiring, to put into practice what you have acquired.
温故而知新,可以为师矣。
If a man will constantly go over what he has acquired and keep continually adding to it new acquirements, he may become a teacher of men.
学而不思则罔,思而不学则殆。
Study without thinking is labor lost. Thinking without study is perilous.
知之为知之,不知为不知,是知也。
To know what it is that you know, and to know what it is that you do not know, —that is understanding.
辜鸿铭 译
If you trust Shangshu without reserve it , you had better go without it.
尽信《书》,则不如无《书》
——《孟子 · 尽心下》
In studying, if you set a high standard, you can only get to the medium; if you set a medium standard ,you can only get to the low.
学其上,仅得其中;学其中,斯为下矣。
——宋 · 严羽 《沧浪诗话·诗辩》
To possess a collection of books piled dozens of feet high is not as meaningful as read one inch of them.
有书堆数仞,不如读盈寸。
——清 · 刘岩《杂诗》
When you have read over ten thousand books, you can write like magic.
读书破万卷,下笔如有神。
——唐 · 杜甫《奉赠韦左丞丈二十二韵》
If you don't work hard when young,
It's no use to crying over split milk when old.
少壮不努力,老大徒伤悲。
——汉无名氏《长歌行》
Study makes one realize his inadquency,teaching makes one realize that there are still thing he does not know.
学然后知不足,教然后知困。
——《礼记 · 学记》
这些学习方法你GET到了吗?
