儒家 -> 論衡 -> 自紀 -> 2

建武三年，In the third year of Jian-wu,
充生。 Wang Chong was born.
為小兒，與儕倫遨戲， When playing with his companions,
不好狎侮。 he disliked all frivolous games.
儕倫好掩雀、捕蟬、戲錢、林熙，His comrades would entrap birds, catch cicadas, play for money, and gambol on stilts.
充獨不肯。Wang Chong alone declined to take part in their games
誦奇之。 to the great amazement of his father.
六歲教書，At the age of six, he received his first instruction,
恭愿仁順，禮敬具備，and learned to behave with politeness, honesty, benevolence, obedience, propriety, and reverence.
矜莊寂寥，He was grave, earnest, and very quiet,
有臣人之志。 and had the will of a great man.
父未嘗笞， His father never flogged him,
母未嘗非， his mother never gave him a harsh word,
閭里未嘗讓。 and the neighbours never scolded him.
八歲出於書館，When he was eight years old, he went to school.
書館小僮百人以上， There were over one hundred small boys in this school.
皆以過失袒謫， As a punishment for faults committed they used to be stripped,
或以書醜得鞭。 or were whipped for bad writing.
充書日進， Wang Chong made daily progress,
又無過失。 and never committed any offence.
手書既成，When he could write sentences,
辭師受《論語》、《尚書》， his teacher explained to him the Analects and the Shujing,
日諷千字。 of which he daily read a thousand characters.
經明德就，When he knew the Classics, and his virtue had thus been developed,
謝師而專門，he left his teacher, and devoted his private studies
援筆而眾奇。to writing and composing so, that every one was astonished,
所讀文書，and the extent of his reading
亦日博多。 widened day by day.
才高而不尚苟作， But he did not make bad use of his talents,
口辯而不好談對，and though he possessed great dialectical skill, he was not fond of disputations.
非其人， Unless he found the proper audience,
終日不言。 he did not speak the whole day.
其論說始若詭於眾， His speech was quaint and not like that of others,
極聽其終， but those who listened to him to the end,
眾乃是之。 agreed with him.
以筆著文，亦如此焉； Such were also the productions of his pen,
操行事上，亦如此焉。and so were his conduct, and his behaviour towards his superiors.
在縣位至掾功曹，In a district he rose to the rank of a secretary,
在都尉府位亦掾功曹， and held the same office in the department of a military governor.
在太守為列掾五官功曹行事， In a prefecture he was one of the five chief secretaries,
入州為從事。 and in a department he was appointed assistant-magistrate.
不好徼名於世， He did not strive for fame,
不為利害見將。 and did not regulate his conduct in accordance with his personal profits.
常言人長，He always spoke of people's merits
希言人短。 and seldom of their faults.
專薦未達，Those who had not yet got on in their career, were specially recommended by him,
解已進者過。 and he exposed only the faults of those who had secured a position.
及所不善， When he thought anything wrong,
亦弗譽； he did not praise it,
有過不解， and when a fault was not done away with,
亦弗復陷。 he did not again condemn the man.
能釋人之大過， He could pardon the great faults of a man,
亦悲夫人之細非。 and also pitied his minor mistakes.
好自周， His desire was to be unimpeachable himself,
不肯自彰， but he did not wish to shine.
勉以行操為基， He endeavoured to base his claims on recognition upon his actions,
恥以材能為名。 and was ashamed to presume upon his talents.
眾會乎坐，In public meetings
不問不言；he did not speak, unless he was asked,
賜見君將，and in the presence of princes and generals
不及不對。he only replied, when he was addressed.
在鄉里，In the country
慕蘧伯玉之節； he attempted to follow the example of Qu Bo Yu,
在朝廷，and in the court
貪史子魚之行。 he wished to imitate Shi Zi Yu.
見汙傷，When insulted,
不肯自明； he did not white-wash himself,
位不進，and, when in his career he was not promoted,
亦不懷恨。 he did not feel grieved.
貧無一畝庇身， Although he was poor and had not an acre to dwell upon,
志佚於王公； his mind was freer than that of kings and dukes,
賤無斗石之秩， and though he had no emoluments counted by pecks and piculs,
意若食萬鍾。he felt, as if he had ten thousand chung to live upon.
得官不欣，Obtaining an appointment, he was not overjoyed,
失位不恨。and losing it, he did not feel distressed.
處逸樂而欲不放，He enjoyed a tranquil happiness, but his desires did not run riot,
居貧苦而志不倦。and though he was living in a state of poverty, his energy was not broken.
淫讀古文， The study of ancient literature was his debauchery,
甘聞異言。 and strange stories his relish.
世書俗說，In the current books and common sayings
多所不安，he found much, in which he could not aquiesce.
幽處獨居， A recluse in his solitary retirement,
考論實虛。 he tried to find truth and falsehood.
