中国有一句话，叫
“
人贵有自 知之明
”
。这个观念的最早提出者是老子。老
子在《道德
经》里说“知人者智，自知者明”
。有“自知之明”是指人应该对自
己有
正确的认识，
了解自身的优点和缺点，
清醒地知道自己能做什么。
我们把人
的自知视为“贵”
，可见做到“自知”是多么的不易。
“自知之明”是一种人生哲
学，
也是一种品德。
它 可以帮助我们不断地修正自己，
朝着更高的人生目标迈进。
As the Chinese saying goes,
it is important to know oneself. The first person
to
put forward this notion was Laozi,
who wrote in his book
Dao De Jing
: “A person
who knows others is
intelligent, but a person who knows himself is
insightful.” To
know
oneself
is
to
have
a
correct
understanding
of
oneself,
including
one’s
strengths
and
limitations,
and
to
be
clear-minded
about
what
one
can
do.
We
cherish this virtue so much precisely
because it is really hard for people to know
themselves. Knowing oneself is both
part of a philosophy of life and a virtue that
can facilitate self-improvement and
attainment of a higher life goal.

与父辈相比，现在的孩子在物质生 活上要丰富得多，但在精神上则略有欠缺。
他们不太可能和伙伴们一起玩，
玩具取代伙伴成了他们最忠实的朋友。
他们的父
母从不缺钱给他们买各
种贵重玩具。
这样的好处是：
他们不再整天缠着父母，
因
为玩具和电子游戏减轻了他们的孤独感。
但也有负面影响：
沉迷于 玩具和电子游
戏会让孩子视力下降或者让他们不愿意与别人交流。
这种现 象应引起家长和学校
的关注。
Compared with the childhood of their
parents, children now do enjoy a far better
material life, but their emotional life
seems less satisfying. They are less likely to
play with their peers, for toys have
replaced their playmates as their most loyal
friends. Their parents can always
afford to buy them all kinds of expensive toys.
The good thing about this is that they
no longer pester their parents to play with
them all day long, because toys and
video games have lessened their feelings of
loneliness.
But
there
are
also
negative
effects:
The
addiction
to
toys
and
video
games
may
cause
a
child’s
eyesight
to
deteriorate
or
result
in
reluctance
to
communicate
with
others.
These
phenomena
should
demand
the
attention
of
both parents and schools.

在敦煌莫高窟，最著名的艺术杰作要数壁
画“飞天”
（
flying apsaras
）
。 敦煌飞天
是印度文化和中国文化共同孕育而成的。在印度，被称为“飞天”的空中飞行的
天神（
celestial beings
）多出现在佛教石窟壁画（
grotto mural
）中，中国道教传
统则把在空中飞行的天神称为“飞仙”
（
< p>flying immortals）
。魏晋南北朝时，佛教
初传入中国，壁画中的飞仙开始被称为“飞天”
。后来，随着佛教在中国的深入
发展，
佛教的飞天和道教的飞仙在艺术形象上相互融合。
敦煌莫高 窟的飞天是中
国古代艺术家的杰作，是世界艺术史的奇迹。
