Before the work has been done, why is the son alone and not me? How to translate?

From "Mozi", original text:

Wu Mazi said to Zimo: "Zi also loves the world, Weiyun Liye, I don't love the world, Weiyun thief also, the merit has not arrived, why is Zi alone and not me?" ”

Zi Mozi said: "Today, there is a burner here, one person will pour it with water, and one person will benefit it by mixing it with fire." The merit has not been achieved, why is the son more valuable than the two? Wu Mazi said: "I am the intention of the one who worships the water, not the intention of the husband who mixes the fire." ”

Zi Mozi said: "I am also my will, not the meaning of the son." ”

Since none of our claims have any consequences, why do you think you're right and think I'm wrong? Mozi said: "For example, someone has set a fire here, one is holding water, ready to extinguish it, and the other is holding something burning, ready to fuel the fire."

Neither of them has materialized, but which of the two should be recognized? Wu Mazi said: "I (of course) affirm the idea of the person who extinguishes the fire with the water, and deny the idea of starting the fire and fueling the person."

Mozi added: "(In this way) I still think that my opinion is right, and I think that your opinion is wrong. ”

None of the results you wanted, why do you only affirm yourself and deny me?

"I will not be at the gate of the Son" means: If I do not come to your door, I will be in danger. From the "Autumn Water" chapter in "Zhuangzi Outer Chapter", it means that in the face of great things, he laments his insignificance. It is a metaphor for not having enough strength or conditions to do things and feeling helpless.

Zhuangzi was a famous thinker, philosopher, and writer in the middle of the Warring States period. He founded Zhuangxue, an important philosophical school in China, and was one of the main representatives of the Taoist school during the Warring States period after Laozi.

So why is the translation going to be done in that way?Source: "The Analects of Advanced" of "Zi Lu, Zeng Hui, Ran You, Gong Xihua Sitting."

Zi said: "I will be long in one day, and I will not be in it." Ju Ze said: "I don't know. 'If so, then what?' ”

Translation: Confucius said, "Because I am a little older than you, don't be afraid to speak because I am old." You say, 'People don't know me!' 'If anybody knows about you, then what do you do about it?' ”

Related Notes:1. Ju Ze said: You say it on weekdays. Residence, weekdays, weekdays.

2. I don't know: that is, I don't know me, I don't know me.

3. Zhenmeng rule: conjunction, then, just.

4. Why: what to use (to achieve your ambitions). to, verb, with.

5. Rate: The appearance of being in a hurry and not thinking about it.

Zi said: "Rich (1) and can be sought (2) also; Though the whip is the one (3), I am also the one who does it. If you can't ask for it, you can do it from my brother.

Notes] (1) Rich: refers to being promoted to an official and making a fortune. (2) Seeking:

It means that it is in harmony with the Tao, and you can ask for it. (3) Whip bearer: In ancient times, it was the Son of Heaven, the princes and the people who opened the way with a whip in their hands when they entered and exited.

It means low-status ministry. Confucius.

said: "If wealth is in line with Fengzhou Road, you can pursue it, although it is an inferior errand for people to carry out whips, I am willing to do it." If wealth is not in line with the Tao, there is no need to pursue it, then I still do it according to my hobby.

Commentary] Confucius again mentioned the relationship between wealth and Taoism here. As long as it conforms to the Tao, the rich can go to the envy of the dust; If it is not in accordance with the Tao, wealth cannot be pursued. Then, he did what he loved.

From here, it can be seen that Confucius is not opposed to being an official or making a fortune, but he must conform to the Tao, which is a matter of principle, and Confucius showed that he would not violate his principles to pursue wealth and glory.

However, the strength is enough to reach the end, and Yu Jihui is ridiculous for stopping others, but he regrets himself.

But Libi is cautious enough to achieve the goal, in people can laugh and laugh, and in themselves there are regrets.

Original text] Zi said: "Knowing it silently, never getting tired of learning, and never tirelessly teaching people, how can I carry it with Lu Chi?" ”

Confucius said: "What is it to me to silently remember (the knowledge that has been learned), not to feel satisfied with learning, and not to know tiredness to teach the repentant?" ”

Original sentence] (Ju Ze said: "I don't know.") 'If so, then what?'

Source] "Analects, Advanced, Zilu, Zeng Hui, Ran You, Gong Xihua Sitting".

If someone knows you, then what are you going to do?

Commentary] The meaning of this sentence is to say, (You always say, "No one understands me, appreciates me, and uses me.") "If someone understands you and appreciates you and wants to reuse you, then what methods or practices and performances do you intend to use to make them understand you, appreciate you, and further reuse your ideas and decisions?
