對(duì)于我來說在大學(xué)引用四書是非?？尚械摹?/p>

Firstly,it is unfair to associate the Four Books with the backwardness of feudal society

首先把四書與落后的封建社會(huì)聯(lián)系起來是不公平的

and hence refuse to read them.

這導(dǎo)致我們不愿閱讀四書。

無可否認(rèn)這些典籍是古代人寫下的

如果我們能夠獲得傳統(tǒng)文化的基本理論知識(shí)

we are likely to have a better chance to understand contemporary culture.

and thoughts from those traditional classic books

以及典籍中的一些過時(shí)思想

and hence they are representative ideas of the ruling class

所以他們代表了統(tǒng)治階級(jí)的思想

(for ordinary people were denied opportunities to learn reading and writing),

(普通人是沒有機(jī)會(huì)來讀寫的)。

it is impossible to apply those ideas in our current society.

it is more likely to eliminate the remaining feudalist trash in the mind

我們清楚我們思想當(dāng)中的封建意識(shí)

than by teacher's exhortations.

而不是通過老師的講述而傳達(dá)的。

總之作為大學(xué)生

they are able to think critically

他們能夠運(yùn)用批判思維來思考

so that they can tell the essence of traditional Chinese culture from the feudalist trashes.

這樣他們就能夠從封建思想中了解中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化的精髓。

Besides, adopting the Four Books course helps preserve traditional culture.

而且學(xué)習(xí)四書幫助我們保護(hù)傳統(tǒng)文化。
