Good Rules and Good Hearts 五忠 郑兆博
Hello everyone!
大家好!
Today, let's talk about two important friends: Rules and Kindness.
今天我们来谈谈两位重要的朋友:规则与善良。
A long time ago, a wise teacher named Confucius said something very meaningful. He explained that if people are only led by strict rules and punishments, they might follow them just to stay out of trouble, but they won’t truly understand what is right or wrong. But if we are guided by goodness and taught to be polite and respectful, we will learn to feel what is right inside our hearts and choose to do good things on our own.
很久以前,有位名叫孔子的智者说过一句意味深长的话。他阐释道,如果只用严规苛法约束民众,人们或许会因畏惧惩罚而顺从,却无法真正明辨是非。但若以美德引导,教会人们礼让与尊重,我们便能从内心感知是非,主动选择善行。
What does this mean for us today?
这对今天的我们有何启示?
It tells us that laws and rules are like the lines on our school playground or the traffic lights on the road. They help keep us safe and tell us what we must not do. But goodness and kindness are like the sunshine that makes everyone feel warm and happy. When we are honest, helpful, and caring, we don’t just follow rules—we also make the world a better place.
它告诉我们:法律与规则如同校园操场上的标线、道路交汇处的红绿灯,守护安全,划明边界。而善良仁爱则如温暖阳光,让每个人感受到愉悦与美好。当我们诚实、互助、心怀关怀时,我们不仅在遵守规则——更是在让世界变得更好。
So, learning about laws is not just about “not breaking rules.” It’s about understanding why rules matter and respecting each other. And when we practice kindness, we help build a happy and polite society, where people smile, share, and help one another.
因此,学习法律不仅关乎“不逾矩”,更要理解规则的意义,学会彼此尊重。当我们践行善意时,就是在共建一个愉悦有礼的社会——那里有微笑、分享与互助。
Let’s remember:
Good rules show us the way,
Good hearts help us every day.
Together, they make our school, our home, and our world a wonderful place to live.
让我们牢记:
规矩指引道路,
善意温暖心田。
二者相伴同行,
方能滋养校园、呵护家园、共创美好人间。
Thank you!
