标题: 富兰克林的十三种品德(双语)

  富兰克林在他的自传里写道:“我的目的是养成所有美德的习惯”。“最好还是在一个时期内集中精力掌握其中的一种美德。当我掌握了一种美德后,接着就开始注意另外一种,这样下去,直到我掌握了十三种为止。因为先获得的一些美德可以便利其他美德的培养”。  富兰克林的十三种品德是:

  一、节制:食不过饱,酒不过量。
  ⑴Temperance: Eat not too dullness; drink not too elevation.

  二、缄默:避免空谈,言必对己或对人有益。
  ⑵Silence: Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation.

  三、秩序:放东西的地方,做事情的时间要心中有数。
  ⑶Order: Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.

  四、决心:该做的一定要做,做就要做好。
  ⑷Resolution: Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.

  五、节俭:对人或对己有益才可用钱,决不浪费。
  ⑸Frugality: Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e.,waste nothing.

  六、勤奋:珍惜光阴,做有益之事,避无谓之举。
  ⑹Industry: Lose no time; be always employ'd in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions.

  七、真诚:不欺骗,有良知,为人厚道,说话实在。
  ⑺Sincerity: Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly,and,if you speak,speak accordingly

  八、正义:不做不利于人的事,不逃避自己的义务。
  ⑻Justice: Wrong none by doing injuries,or omitting the benefits that are your duty.

  九、中庸:避免走极端,容忍别人给你的伤害,认为是你应该承受之事。
  ⑼Moderation: Avoid extreams; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve.

  十、整洁:保持身体、衣服和住所的整洁。
  ⑽Cleanliness: Tolerate no uncleanliness in body,cloaths,or habitation

  十一、冷静:不因小事,寻常之事,不可避免之事而慌乱。
  ⑾Tranquility: Be not distuibed at trifles,or at accidents common or unavoidable.

  十二、节欲:少行房事,除非考虑到身体健康或者延续子嗣;不要房事过度,伤害身体或者损害自己或他人的安宁与名誉。
  ⑿Chastity: Rarely use venery but for health or offspring,never to dulness,weakness,or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputation.

  十三、谦逊:效法耶稣和苏格拉底。
