1.創(chuàng)始人:說(shuō)思想、學(xué)派的創(chuàng)始人或奠基者，可以founder、creator或 originator來(lái)表達(dá)。
2.弟子:譯為disciple,當(dāng)時(shí)的弟子多指門(mén)徒，而非當(dāng)今的學(xué)生。
3.周游列國(guó):可譯為visit various states 或者travel around various states。 孔子生于春秋時(shí)期，那時(shí)的國(guó)家跟現(xiàn)在國(guó)家的概念是不一樣的，那時(shí)的國(guó)家更適合譯作state，而不是country,如“戰(zhàn)國(guó)”應(yīng)譯作Warring States。
4.積極進(jìn)取:可譯為active and enterprising,其中active意為“積極的”，enterprising意為“有進(jìn)取心的”。
5.真、善、美:應(yīng)譯為truthfulness, kindness, beauty。
6.追求:文中兩處用到“追求”，可以分別翻譯為striving for和seeking for,以增加用詞的變化，彰顯語(yǔ)言功底。
