A Wise Man Saying:

He who knows and knows he knows,
he is a wise man, seek him.

He who knows and knows not he knows,
he is asleep, wake him.

He who knows not and knows he knows not,
he is a child, teach him.

He who knows not and knows not he knows not,
he is a fool, shun him.



=============================================



這是我剛上初中時，一位六十幾歲的老師（已退休）跟我說的。
當時不是很明白但她解釋後就明白了
好像是從那時開始，我對英語更有興趣了


還有一句與上面無關的：

When God closes the door, he opens a window.

可否翻譯一下? 謝謝!

是呀，理解不了{:1_209:}

最後一句我知道，當上帝關上一扇門的時候，他會開啟一扇窗{:1_211:}

He who knows and knows he knows,
he is a wise man, seek him.
有知識的他知道自己有知識
他是個聰明人，去尋找他吧


He who knows and knows not he knows,
he is asleep, wake him.
有知識的他不知道自己有知識
他還在沈睡中，把他叫醒吧


He who knows not and knows he knows not,
he is a child, teach him.
沒有知識的他知道自己沒有知識
他只是個孩子，教導/指導他吧



He who knows not and knows not he knows not,
he is a fool, shun him.
沒有知識的他不知道自己沒有知識
他是個愚蠢的人，避開他吧


=======================================================================


knows 和 knows not 也可理解為 有智慧 和 沒有智慧


翻譯得好像不是很好，請大家多多見諒
