古典名著中藏着中国人的气韵，人说腹有诗书气自华，最先要看的便是四书五经。翻译名家对这些古典名著的英语翻译也极尽功力，信达雅之外，最可贵的便是韵律美。
明先生节选了一些古典名著翻译，古典名著翻译成英文竟有如斯奇特的美感。

《论语》 The Confucian Analects
《孟子》 The Works of Mencius
《论语》The Confucian Analects
学而时习之，不亦说乎。
It is indeed a pleasure to acquire knowledge and, as you go on acquiring, to put into practice what you have acquired.
有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎?
A greater pleasure still it is when friends of congenial minds come from afar to seek you because of your attainments.
温故而知新，可认为师矣。
If a man will constantly go over what he has acquired and keep continually adding to it new acquirements, he may become a teacher of men.
学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆。
Study without thinking is labor lost. Thinking without study is perilous.
正人周而不比，小人比而不周。
A wise man is impartial, not neutral. A fool is neutral but not impartial.
知之为知之，不知为不知，是知也。
To know what it is that you know, and to know what it is that you do not know, —that is understanding.
辜鸿铭 译
《孟子》The Works of Mencius
故天将降年夜任于斯人也，必先苦其心志，劳其筋骨、饿其体肤，空匮其身，行拂乱其所为，以是动心忍性，曾益其所不克不及。
Thus when Heaven is going to give a great responsibility to someone, it first makes his mind endure suffering. It makes his sinews and bones experience toil, and his body to suffer hunger. It inflicts him with poverty and knocks down everything he tries to build. In this way Heaven stimulates his mind, stabilizes his temper and develops his weak points.
爱人者，人恒爱之；敬人者，人恒敬之。
He who loves others is constantly loved by them. He who respects others is constantly respected by them.
理雅各 译

《子衿》ZI JIN
青青子衿，悠悠我心。
纵我不往，子宁不嗣音。
青青子佩，悠悠我思。
纵我不往，子宁不来。
挑兮达兮，在城阙兮。
一日不见，如三月兮。
O you , with the blue collar,
Prolonged is the anxiety of my heart.
Although I do not go [to you],
Why do you not continue your messages [to me]?
O you with the blue [strings to your] girdle-gems,
Long , long do I think of you.
Although I do not go [to you],
Why do you not come [to me]?
How volatile are you and dissipated,
By the look-out tower on the wall!
One day without the sight of you,
Is like three months.
《伐鼓》节选 JI GU
死生契阔，与子成说。
执子之手，与子偕老。
For life or for death, however separated,
To our wives we pledged our word.
We held their hands; —
We were to grow old together with them.

《红楼梦》A Dream of Red Mansions
泪光点点，娇喘微微。闲静时如姣花照水，行为处似弱柳扶风。
Her eyes sparkled with tears, her breath was soft and faint. In repose she was like a lovely flower mirrored in the water; in motion, pliant willow swaying in the wind.
