3.人怕出名啊！出了名后，你就无秘密可言。甚么私事都给采访们去传说，通讯员等去发表。这么一来，把你的自传或忏悔录里的资料硬夺去了。将来我若作自述，非另外捏造点新奇事实不可。
3. People fear fame! Once famous, you have no secrets left. Every private matter is spread by interviews and published by correspondents. In this way, the material for your autobiography or confessions is forcefully taken away. If I ever write a memoir, I must fabricate some novel facts.

7.譬如黑夜里两条船相擦而过,一个在这条船上,瞥见对面船舱的灯光里正是自己梦寐不忘的脸,没来得及叫唤,彼此早距离远了。这一刹那的接近,反见得远隔的渺茫。

9.把饭给自己有饭吃的人吃，那是请饭；自己有饭可吃而去吃人家的饭，那是赏面子。交际的微妙不外乎此。反过来说，把饭给予没饭吃的人吃，那是施食；自己无饭可吃而去吃人家的饭，赏面子就一变而为丢脸。
9. Giving food to those who have food is an invitation; eating someone else’s food when you have your own is giving face. The subtlety of social interaction is nothing more than this.

18. A diploma is like the leaf covering Adam and Eve’s lower bodies, serving to hide shame and ugliness; a small piece of paper can conceal one’s emptiness, ignorance, and foolishness.

19.有一种人的理财学不过是借债不还，所以有一种人的道学，只是教训旁人，并非自己有什么道德。

27. Hongjian saw Mr. Li’s big iron box at a glance, which, against the narrow bow of the ship, seemed like a big nose and wide mouth on a small face, causing a surprise that the part was greater than the whole, as if it had overthrown the principles of geometry; it was even more of a miracle of physics that the big iron box could be transported from the ship.

28.人生据说是一部大书。假使人生真是这样，那么，我们一大半作者只能算是书评家，具有书评家的本领，无须看得几页书，议论早已发了一大堆，书评一篇写完交卷。

34. Prejudice can be said to be a vacation for thought. It is the daily necessities for those who have no thoughts, and a Sunday entertainment for those who have thoughts.

93.考古学提倡发掘坟墓以后，好多古代死人的朽骨和遗物都暴露了；现代文学成为专科研究以后，好多未死的作家的将朽或已朽的作品都被发掘而暴露了。被发掘的喜悦使我们这些人忽视了被暴露的危险，不想到作品的埋没往往保全了作者的虚名。假如作者本人带头参加了发掘工作，那很可能得不偿失，“自掘坟墓”会变为矛盾统一的双关语：掘开自己作品的坟墓恰恰也是掘下了作者自己的坟墓。

After archaeology advocated the excavation of tombs, many ancient skeletons and relics were exposed; after modern literature became a specialized field, many works of living authors, either decaying or already decayed, were excavated and exposed.

3.对待一切善良的人，不管是家属，还是朋友，都应该有一个两字箴言：一曰真，二曰忍。真者，以真情实意相待，不允许弄虚作假；对待坏人，则另当别论。忍者，相互容忍也。
3. Treat all kind people, whether family or friends, with a two-word motto: one is true, and the other is patience. True means treating each other with genuine feelings and not allowing deception; for bad people, it is a different case. Patience means mutual tolerance.

11.好多年来，我曾有过一个“良好”的愿望：我对每个人都好，也希望每个人都对我好。只望有誉，不能有毁。最近我恍然大悟，那是根本不可能的。
11. For many years, I had a “good” wish: I wanted to be kind to everyone and hoped that everyone would be kind to me. I only wanted praise and not criticism. Recently, I suddenly realized that this is simply impossible.

12.走运时，要想到倒霉，不要得意得过了头；倒霉时，要想到走运，不必垂头丧气。心态始终保持平衡，情绪始终保持稳定，此亦长寿之道。
12. When you are fortunate, remember that misfortune may come, and don’t be too complacent; when you are unfortunate, remember that fortune may come, and there is no need to be disheartened. Always maintain a balanced mindset and stable emotions, which is also the way to a long life.

13.我痛恨自己在政治上形同一条蠢驴，对所谓”无产阶级文化大革命“这一场残暴、混乱、使我们伟大的中华民族蒙羞忍耻、把我们国家的经济推向绝境、空前、绝后——这是我们的希望——，至今还没人能给一个全面合理的解释的悲剧，有不少人早就认识了它的实质，我却是在”四人帮“垮台以后脑筋才开了窍。我实在感到羞耻。
13. I detest myself for being as ignorant as a donkey in politics, and for not recognizing the essence of the so-called “Cultural Revolution” until the collapse of the “Gang of Four.” This tragedy, which brought shame and humiliation to our great Chinese nation, pushed our country’s economy to the brink of collapse, and has never been seen before or since – this is our hope – and yet, no one has been able to provide a comprehensive and reasonable explanation for it.

14.我生平优点不多，但自谓爱国不敢后人，即使把我烧成了灰，每一粒灰也还是爱国的。可是我对于当知识分子这个行当却真有点谈虎色变。我从来不相信什么轮回转生。现在，如果让我信一回的话，我就恭肃虔诚祷祝造化小儿，下一辈子无论如何也别播弄我，千万别再把我播弄成知识分子。
14. I don’t have many virtues in my life, but I dare not lag behind others in patriotism. Even if I were burned to ashes, every single ash would still be patriotic. However, I am really apprehensive about being an intellectual. I never believed in reincarnation. Now, if I were to believe in it for once, I would sincerely pray to the Creator that in my next life, no matter what, please don’t manipulate me and don’t make me an intellectual again.

15.好多年来，我曾有过一个”良好“的愿望：我对每个人都好，也希望每个人都对我好。只望有誉，不能有毁。最近我恍然大悟，那是根本不可能的。
15. For many years, I had a “good” wish: to be kind to everyone and hope that everyone would be kind to me. I wanted only praise, not criticism. Recently, I suddenly realized that this is simply impossible.

16.做人要老实，学外语也要老实。学外语没有什么万能的窍门。俗语说：书山有路勤为径，学海无涯苦作舟。“这就是窍门。
16. One must be honest in being a person and learning a foreign language. There is no universal trick for learning a foreign language. As the saying goes, “There is a path in the mountain of books, and diligence is the way; the sea of learning is boundless, and hard work is the boat.” This is the trick.

17.我的工作主要是爬格子。几十年来，我已经爬出了上千万的字。这些东西都值得爬吗？我认为是值得的。我爬出的东西不见得都是精金粹玉，都是甘露醍醐，吃了能让人飞升成仙；但是其中绝没有毒药，绝没有假冒伪劣，读了以后，至少能让人获得点享受，能让人爱国、爱乡、爱人类、爱自然、爱儿童，爱一切美好的东西。
17. My main job is to write. Over the past few decades, I have written more than ten million characters. Are these things worth writing? I believe they are. What I have written may not all be refined gold and jade, or nectar of immortality, that can make people ascend to immortality after consuming; but there is absolutely no poison or counterfeit in it. After reading, at least it can bring some enjoyment and inspire people to love their country, hometown, humanity, nature, and children, and to love all beautiful things.

18.西方采取的是强硬的手段，要“征服自然”，而东方则主张采用和平友好的手段，也就是天人合一。要先于自然做朋友，然后再伸手向自然索取人类生存所需要的一切。宋代大哲学家张载说：“民，吾同胞，物，吾与也。
18. The West adopts a tough approach to “conquer nature,” while the East advocates using peaceful and friendly means, that is, the unity of heaven and man. One should first be friends with nature and then reach out to nature to obtain what is needed for human survival. The great philosopher Zhang Zai of the Song Dynasty said, “People are my brothers and sisters, and things are my companions.”

19.任何一个人，包括我自己在内，以及任何一个生物，从本能上来看，总是趋吉避凶的。因此，我没怪罪任何人，包括打过我的人。我没有对任何人打击报复，并不是由于我度量特别大，能容天下难容之事，而是由于我洞明世事，又反求诸躬。假如我处在别人的地位上，我的行动不见得会比别人好。
19. Any person, including myself, and any living being, from an instinctive point of view, always seeks good fortune and avoids misfortune. Therefore, I do not blame anyone, including those who have hit me. I have not retaliated against anyone, not because I have a particularly large capacity to tolerate the intolerable, but because I have a clear understanding of the world and reflect on myself. If I were in someone else’s position, my actions might not be better than theirs.

20.现在，我的人生之旅快到终点了，我常常回忆年来的历程，感慨万端。我曾问过自己一个问题，如果真有那么一个造物主，要加恩于我，让我下一辈子还转生为人，我是不是还走今生走的这一条路？经过了一些思虑，我的回答是：还要走这一条路。但是有一个附带条件：让我的脸皮厚一点，让我的心黑一点，让我考虑自己的利益多一点，让我自知之明少一点。
20. Now, my life journey is nearing its end, and I often recall the years I have gone through, with mixed feelings. I once asked myself a question: if there really is a Creator who wants to bestow favor upon me and let me be reborn as a human in the next life, would I still take the same path as I did in this life? After some thought, my answer is: I would still take this path. But with one condition: make my skin thicker, my heart darker, make me think more about my own interests, and make my self-awareness less.

21.我说过不少谎话，因为非此则不能生存。但是我还是敢于讲真话的，我的真话总是大大超过谎话。因此我是一个好人。
21. I have told many lies because it was necessary for survival. But I am still brave enough to tell the truth, and my truth always greatly surpasses my lies. Therefore, I am a good person.

22.最后两句话是——‘国之魂魄，民之肝胆，屹立东方，亿万斯年’。人民的灵魂，百姓的脊梁，中华民族大有前途。
22. The last two sentences are - ‘The soul of the nation, the liver and gallbladder of the people, stand tall in the east, for countless years to come.’ The soul of the people, the backbone of the citizens, the Chinese nation has great prospects.

23.好多年来，我曾有过一个“良好”的愿望：我对每个人都好，也希望每个人都对我好。只望有誉，不能有毁。最近我恍然大悟，那是根本不可能的。
23. For many years, I had a “good” wish: I wanted to be kind to everyone, and hoped that everyone would be kind to me. I wanted only praise, not criticism. Recently, I suddenly realized that it is simply impossible.

24.时光流失，一转眼，我已经到了望九之年，活得远远超过了自己的预算。有人说，长寿是福，我看也不尽然。人活得太久，对众生的相，看得透透彻彻，反而鼓舞时少，叹息时多。
24. Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, I have reached the age of ninety, living far beyond my own expectations. Some say that longevity is a blessing, but I don’t think it’s entirely so. When people live too long, they see through the world too thoroughly, and instead of being inspired, they often sigh.
