Lesson 111 Confucius

（单词翻译）

　　Confucius is respected by most Chineseas the greatest teacher of all time. Perhapsthe most important word he taught was "ren,"which means "benevolence¹." According toConfucius, benevolence means courtesy,loyalty and unselfishness. In fact, benevo-lence is the essence of his teachings. Everyteacher should, therefore, follow in his foot-steps and emphasize benevolence whenteaching.
    孔子 
 孔子被许许多多中国人尊为自古以来最伟大的老师。或许他所传授的最重要的一个字就是“仁”，也就是英文的benevolence。
根据孔于的说法，仁的意思就是礼貌，忠贞以及无私。事实上，仁是他教义的精髓。因此，每个老师在教学时，应效法孔子并强调仁的道理。
