问题      孟子(Mencius)是战国时期(the Warring States Period)一位伟大的思想家、教育家。他的哲学思想与孔子(Confucius)是一脉相承的,孔子去世100年后,孟子传授并发展了孔子的学说,这使得他在儒家思想(Confucianism)领域的地位仅次于孔子本人。孟子认为“人性本善”,是社会的影响引发了道德的堕落,因此十分重视道德教育。孟子的母亲在他的生命中扮演了重要的角色,她曾三度迁居,只为了帮助她的孩子找到一个合适的成长环境。

选项

答案     Mencius is a great thinker and educator in the Warring States Period. His ideas have origin in Confucius’ thoughts. A hundred years after Confucius died, Mencius taught and expanded Confucian doctrine, making him second only to Confucius himself in the domain of Confucianism. He believes that human nature is essentially good, and it is society’s influence that contributes to the degradation of morality. So he attaches great importance to moral education. Mencius’ mother played an important role in his life. She moved three times to find an environment that she felt suitable for the child’s upbringing.

    4. 道德的堕落:可译为the degradation of morality,也可简单译为bad moral character。

    6. 在……扮演了重要的角色:该说法的翻译相对固定,一般译为play an important role/partin…
    7. 成长:在此可译为upbringing或growing。
