论语--我思故我在
学而篇(12)
有子曰：“禮之用，和為貴。先王之道斯為美，小大由之。有所不行，知和而和，不以禮�?之，亦不可行也。”
　　【原文】
　　有子曰：“礼之用①，和为贵②。先王之道，斯为美③。小大由之④。有所不行⑤，知和而和⑥，不以礼节之⑦，亦不可行也。”
　　【今译】
　　有子说：“礼的作用，以做到和谐为可贵。古代先王治国的原则，可贵之处就在这里。小事大事都按这个原则去做。如果有的地方行不通，只知道为和谐而和谐，不用礼来节制和约束，所以就行不通了。”
　　【注释】
　　①礼：体现“仁“的各种规则。用：作用，功用。②和为贵：遇事以和谐为可贵。和：和谐，协调。③先王：指周文王等古代贤王。斯：这个，指示代词，指代“和为贵” ④小大由之：小事、大事都以“和为贵”为出发点，按这个原则去做。由：奉行，照做。⑤所不行：名词性词组，作句中“有”的宾语，意思说“行不通之处”。⑥知：为了。⑦节：节制，约束。之：宾语代词，这样，这个。
In ceremonies a natural ease is to be prized, and yet to be subordinate to the end of ceremonies, -- the reverential observance of propriety.
The philosopher You said, "In practicing the rules of propriety, a natural ease is to be prized. In the ways prescribed by the ancient kings, this is the excellent quality, and in things small and great we follow them. Yet it is not to be observed in all cases. If one, knowing how such ease should be prized, manifests it, without regulating it by the rules of propriety, this likewise is not to be done."
【评点】
　　本章论述“以和为贵”和“以礼节和”的思想。
　　礼，孔子认为以之“经国家”为政制，以之“序民人”为礼制、礼仪。礼是仁义的规范，制度化。礼的主要作用是区别、维护亲疏、贵贱的既和合又等级限定的秩序。和合是目的，维护血缘关系的伦常次序和社会政治关系的等级秩序，则是达到和合的手段。
　　我们的先人很早就认识到“人和”在社会活动中的重要作用。人和万事兴。人和天下宁。就今天来看，人和使祖国欣欣向荣。人心和顺，关系就会融洽，就会互相关心，互相帮助，聪明才智得以充分发挥。否则，人会到处碰壁，家庭会失去温暖，民族会，国家会。可见“和为贵”确实至理名言。
　　如何做到人和呢？一要心和，从“心往一处想”到“劲往一处使”，团结奋进。二讲人和，不是无原则的退让，妥协必须用礼加以节制，即“不以礼节之，亦不可行也。”

随手贴图系列之身体英语说

农历新年已经远去了，大家应该在已经工作或者奔赴学校的路上了吧，小编就问一问大家肚皮上的肉还好吗？每逢佳节胖三斤没有？凡是回答没有的中午记得多吃两碗饭！
来一篇震惊眼球的研究新闻吧
英国又出雷人研究啦！一项由圣安德鲁斯大学（沪江小编：八卦一下，就是威廉王子念的大学哦！）组织研究的实验证明：大脸的男人比起小脸男人更不可信。于是根据这个研究我们可以得出结论：上图中的左边的Simon Cowell（美国偶像里的毒蛇评判）要比右边的David Tennant（曾在《哈利·波特与火焰杯》中出演反派角色小巴提·克劳奇，想起来了吗？）奸诈。

　　Men with wider faces 'less trustworthy'
　　The findings suggest that David Tennant could be trusted more than Simon Cowell.
　　A team of psychologists at the University of St Andrews invited men to play a computerised game for money. The game offered players opportunities to trust other participants, but also opportunities to exploit them.
　　During the game a participant was shown an expressionless photo of a fellow player's face at the start of each game.
　　The participant had then to decide whether to take an immediate pay-off or entrust the money to the person they saw - who, in turn, could decide either to co-operate, and help both players make more money, or take the cash and run.
　　Lead researcher Michael Stirrat set up the games to investigate whether he could find any measurable relationship between perceptions of trustworthiness from perceptions and behaviour.
　　He found that participants were more likely to entrust money to men with narrower faces.
　　"We all make instant judgements about strangers - whether to trust him or whether to be wary of her. In my research I have been trying to find a basis for these intuitive judgements," said Mr Stirrat.
　　"From the evolutionary theory of sexual selection we predicted that male faces may signal physical dominance and that more dominant men would be more likely to be exploitative because they can be.
　　"We found that men with wider faces exploited trust more often to make money for themselves."
　　However, Mr Stirrat concludes with a word of caution:"The results are important but we shouldn't leap to the conclusion that wider-faced men are bad. They were exploitative in our games, but in other games the wider faced men were more likely to sacrifice their money to enforce good behaviour.
　　"This is ongoing research and it is difficult to draw any conclusions yet, but what is certainly true is that wider faced, more robust men have the capacity to choose to be society's criminals or society's police."
