I can learn from their good qualities, and correct those faults in me which are like theirs.” 辜译：Confucius remarked, “When three men meet together, one of them who is anxious to learn can always learn something of the other two. He can profit by the good example of the one and avoid the bad example of the other.” (论语：The Discourses and Sayings of Confucius) 译本比较2 子曰：“见贤思齐焉，见不贤而内自省也。” 丁译：Confucius said, “When one sees a virtuous man, one should think of exerting oneself to be like him; when one sees someone who is not virtuous, one should examine oneself.” 辜译：Confucius remarked, “When we meet with men of worth, we should think how we may equal them. When we meet with worthless men, we should turn into ourselves and find out if we do not resemble them.” 辜氏儒经翻译的特点 1 意译法，且不仅译出原作的文字，还要再现原作的风格 2 引用歌德、卡莱尔、阿诺德、莎士比亚等西方著名作家和思想家的话来注释某些经文，这在儒经翻译史上还是第一次。 如： 子曰：“道其不行矣夫！” Confucius remarked: “There is in the world now really no moral social order at all. ”” The word tao here means the moral law finding its expression in social order.
