One day, Ping Gong, the King of the State of Jin, said to his minister Shi Kuang: "I am over 70 years old.

有一天，晉國君主晉平公對他的臣子師曠說:“我已經七十多歲了。

Though I "am eager to read some books, I feel it is too late."

雖然很想讀些書，但是，總覺得時間太晚了!”

Shi Kuang said: "Too late? Why don't you light the candle?"

師曠說: “時間太晚嗎?為卜么不把蠟燭點起來呢?”

Ping Gong said: "I am serious. But you go so far as to make fun of me!"

平公說: “我和你說正經話，怎么，你竟和我開起玩笑來了!”

Shi Kuang said: "How dare I, a blind minister, make fun of Your Majesty?

師曠說: “我這個雙目失明的臣子，哪里敢和大王開玩笑!

I heard that when a man in his youth is fond of studying, he is like the rising sun, brilliant and magnificent;

我聽說，一個人在少年的時候好學，就像初升的太陽那樣，輝煌而燦爛;

when a man in the prime of life is fond of studying, he is like the sun at noon, with still half a day's good time ahead;

壯年的時候好學，猶如正午的太陽，還有半天的好時光呢;

when a man in his old age is fond of studying, he is like the flame of a candle.

老年的時候好學，就像蠟燭的火焰一樣。

Though the light is failing, it is better than groping in the dark."

蠟燭的光亮雖然是有限的，但是有了它，總比在黑暗中摸索著前進要好些吧!”

Hearing Shi Kuang's words, Ping Gong of Jin said with pleasure:

聽了師曠的話，晉平公高興地說:

"How well you have put it!"

“你說得多好啊!”
