发愤忘食,乐以忘忧,不知老之将至。 ·In his eager pursuit of knowledge he forgets his meals and in the joy of his attainment he forgets his sorrow,so much so that he is unaware that old age is coming on.·In his eagerness he forgets his hunger,and in his joy he forgets his bitter life,not worrying that old age is creeping on. (The Analects of Confucius [551-479 BC]) |
