&我们应当注意经常犯的错误。它们因人而异，我们将在痛苦与快乐中找到自己经常犯的错误。发现自己的错误后，必须强行自己朝相反的方向发展。
we should also take notice of the errors into which we naturally tend to fall.
they vary in each individual’s case,and we will discover ours by the pleasure or pain they give us.
having discovered our errors,we must force ourselves off in the opposite direction.
&因此，追求中庸之道的人，首先应当小心远离了比另一端更有悖于中庸的一端……
therefore he who aims at the mean should make it his first care to keep away from that extreme which is more contrary than the other to the mean...
&这一点非常清楚：在我们的所有行动中，中庸之道是一种最受人称道的境界。但是在实际情况中，我们有时会倾向于过度，有时倾向于不足。因此自律就是达到中庸之道的最简洁的方式，亦即正确之道。
（完）
this much,then,is plain:in all our conduct,the mean is the most praiseworthy state.
but as a practical matter,we must sometimes aim at toward excess and sometimes toward deficiency,because this will be the easiest way of hitting the mean,that is,what is right.
