子曰:食不言,寝不语。 或曰:此乃夫子修身养性之说。食不言,以免饭呛到气管里。寝不语,以免神经衰弱。 依在下愚见,夫子之言并不限于此,乃是对以中国厚重文化积淀下人性的确切描述。食和寝,可视作饮食、男女。饮食和男女,这人生两件大事,都要悄悄地进行,而不能哇啦哇啦,这就是中国人。 Son said: food does not speak, sleep without words. Or say: This is the master of self-cultivation that. Food does not matter, so as not to choke the trachea in the rice. Sleep without words, so as to avoid nervous breakdown. According to my humble opinion, the word of the Master is not limited to this, but an accurate description of human nature under the heavy culture of China. Food and sleep, can be regarded as diet, men and women. Diet and men and women, this life two major events, must be quietly carried out, but not Walawala, this is Chinese.
