| Here is a well-known piece from Confucius'
Analects. |

子曰：“ 知之 者 不如 好之 者， 好之 者 不如 乐之
者。”
Zǐyuē:“Zhīzhī zhě bùrú hàozhī zhě ,hàozhī zhě bùrú
lèzhī zhě.” |

译文--- 孔子 说： “知道 它 的 人 不如 喜欢 它 的 人，
Yìwén—kǒngzǐ shuō:“zhīdào tā de rén bùrú xǐhuān tā de
rén,
喜欢 它 的 人 不如以 它 为 快乐 的 人。”
Xǐhuān tā de rén bùrú yǐ tā wéi kuàilè de rén”
英文解释：
Confucius said:
One with understanding is not as good as one with interest,
which in turn is not as good as doing something one
enjoys. |
知之者不如好之者，
好之者不如乐之者。
