漫無目的的生活就像出海航行而沒有指南針
CHOOSING FRIENDS 選擇朋友
A man who is careful in choosing friends will certainly derive benefit from them. Why? Because there are more false friends than real ones in this world. To have one real friends is better than a hundred false ones. Friends who flatter you to your face are not true friends. We must make friends with those who have good character and kindness of heart. On the other hand, we should do our best to a void keeping company with bad people.
一個小心選擇朋友的人一定會從他們那裡獲得益處。為什麼？因為在這個世界裡假朋友比真朋友要多。有一個真朋友要比有一百個假朋友來得好。凡是當面奉承你的朋友不是真朋友。我們必須和凡是具有良好品格和心地善良的人交朋友。反過來說，我們應盡力避免結交壞人。
TO RISE EARLY 論早起
I do not know the reason why some people want to get up late. They will never have the opportunity to enjoy (of enjoying) the fresh air and calmness of the morning. This is indeed a quite regrettable thing. To rise early is a good habit (which) we should cultivate. Why? Because the best time when we can pursue our studies is in the morning. In addition, early rising is also good to our health. I hope that everybody our knows the reason why we must rise early.
我不知道某些人要晚起的理由。他們永不會有機會來享受早晨的新鮮空氣和寧靜。這真是一件 發令人遺憾的事情。早起是我們應該養成的一種良好習慣。為什麼？因為早晨是我們從事學業的大好時間。再者，早起對我們健康也有益處。我希望每個人應該知道我們必須早起的理由。
THRIFT 節儉
There is not a (no) thrifty man but becomes a rich man sooner or later. Why? Because he will not spend such money as is unnecessary. Little by little his money will accumulate. Ten to one, he is bound to make a fortune. I do not like such men as spend their money in a wrong way. They do not know extravagance is a bad thing. It can only make them happy for the time being. In short, thrift makes poor men rich and extravagance makes rich men poor.
沒有一個節儉的人遲早不成為一個富翁。為什麼？因為他決不花像那種不必要的錢。漸漸他的錢就會聚積起來。十之八九，他一定會發財的。我不喜歡那種亂花錢的人。他們不知道奢侈是一件壞事。它只能夠使他們暫時快樂而已。總而言之，節儉使窮人變富，奢侈使富人變窮。
MY MOTHER 我母親
My mother is a woman of the old school. She is too conservative to keep up with the times. However, she is good-natured and treats others incerely. For this reason, all her neighbors are only too glad (pleased ) to make friends with her. They consider her a model woman. She is a typical housewife. She keeps the (her) house neat and clean and looks after us with extreme care . She often says to us, ―You cannot study too hard .
我母親是中國老式女子。她太保守無法跟上時代。然而，她性情善良，待人誠懇。基於此種理由，所有她的鄰居都十分高興和她結交朋友。他們認為她是模範女子。她是一位標準的家庭主婦。她把家保持整潔。她小心翼翼地照顧我們。她時常對我們說：“你們越用功越好”。
WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY 有志者事竟成
The secret of success (The key to success) is not so much money as a strong will. A great man is one who has a strong will and an indomitable spirit. In other words, if a man does not have a strong will to win (get) the final victory, he will never succeed in his life. He is no more than a failure. It is quite obvious that there is no difficult thing (nothing difficult) in the world. if you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end. That stands to reason.
成功的要訣不是金錢而是一個堅強的意志（用not so mush... as）。一個大人物是一個具有堅強意志和不屈不撓精神的人。換句話說，如果一個人沒有堅強意志去獲得最後勝利的人，他終其一生永遠不會成功。他只不過是（用no more than）一個失敗者。很顯明的世界上並沒有難事。如果你下定決心去做它，你一定會達到目的。那是顯而易見的。
