瞬间秒杀听力 第492期:孔子

 

Confucius is respected by most Chinese

as the greatest teacher of all time.

Perhaps the most important word

he taught us was "ren, "

which means "benevolence¹."

According to Confucius,

benevolence means courtesy,

loyalty² and unselfishness.

In fact, benevolence

is the essence of his teachings.

Every teacher should, therefore,

follow in his footsteps and emphasize

benevolence

teaching.

孔子被许许多多中国人尊为自古以来最伟大的老师。

或许他所传授的最重要的一个字就是“仁”，

也就是英文的benevolence。

根据孔于的说法，仁的意思就是礼貌，

忠贞以及无私。事实上，仁是他教义的精髓。

因此，每个老师在教学时，

应效法孔子并强调仁的道理。
