7月28日，“詹姆斯引用中國名言卻寫錯出處”登上熱搜，引發(fā)中國網(wǎng)友關(guān)注。

當(dāng)?shù)貢r間7月27日，作為NBA歷史上話題度最高的球星之一，不久前加盟費城76人的勒布朗·詹姆斯（LeBron James）在社交媒體平臺轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)了一句中國名言“勝人者有力，自勝者強(qiáng)”，以此勉勵自己。

但有些尷尬的是，詹姆斯轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)的原帖中，這句話的出處被錯誤標(biāo)注成了孫子。

On Monday, LeBron James, one of the most prominent players in NBA history who recently joined the Philadelphia 76ers, shared a well-known Chinese saying on social media to motivate himself: "To conquer others is to have strength. To conquer yourself is to be strong."

However, the post he reposted incorrectly credited the quote to Sun Tzu, leading to an awkward factual error.

“勝人者有力，自勝者強(qiáng)”是老子《道德經(jīng)》第三十三章的哲理名言，意為“戰(zhàn)勝別人是有力量，戰(zhàn)勝自己才是真正的強(qiáng)者”。

In fact, the saying comes from Chapter 33 of the Dao De Jing (Tao Te Ching), the ancient Chinese philosophical text traditionally attributed to Laozi (Lao Tzu). It expresses the idea that while defeating others demonstrates strength, mastering oneself is the mark of true power.

網(wǎng)友評論：

據(jù)中國新聞周刊報道，近日，詹姆斯在經(jīng)過一個月的深思熟慮之后，公布了自己下一站的選擇：宣布加盟費城76人隊。這也極有可能成為他NBA生涯的最后一站。

After nearly a month of considering his options, LeBron James recently announced in a social media post that he will sign with the Philadelphia 76ers.

綜合美媒報道， 詹姆斯表示，他期待為76人隊打破長達(dá)43年的冠軍荒，這與他在2016年助騎士隊奪冠時，為克利夫蘭這座城市終結(jié)52年無冠歷史的方式如出一轍。

這很可能是詹姆斯作為自由球員所作出的最后一次抉擇，因為這位41歲的老將即將踏入創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的第24個賽季。他曾表示，贏得第五座NBA總冠軍獎杯是他的首要動力。

James hopes to break a 43-year championship drought for the 76ers, much the same way he erased a 52-year streak without a title for the city of Cleveland when he won a championship with the Cavaliers in 2016.

This likely will be the final free agency decision James will make as the 41-year-old enters a record-breaking 24th season. He said winning a fifth NBA title is his primary motivation.

《道德經(jīng)》中的經(jīng)典名句

中英雙語收藏

《道德經(jīng)》篇幅不過五千余字，卻留下了許多流傳至今的經(jīng)典名句。它們不僅影響了中國文化，也被翻譯成數(shù)十種語言，在世界各地廣泛傳播。

下面精選幾則《道德經(jīng)》名句的雙語版，譯者許淵沖，一起學(xué)起來：

道可道，非常道；名可名，非常名。無名，天地之始；有名，萬物之母。

The divine law may be spoken of, but it is not the common law. (Truth can be known, but it may not be the well-known truth.) Things may be named, but names are not the things. In the beginning heaven and earth are nameless; when named, all things become known.

上善若水。水善利萬物而不爭，處眾人之所惡，故幾于道。

The highest good is like water. Water benefits everything by giving without taking or contending. It likes the place others dislike, so it follows closely the divine law.

夫唯不爭，故天下莫能與之爭。

As he contends for nothing, none in the world could contend with him.

大音希聲；大象無形。

A great sound is inaudible, a great image is formless.

合抱之木，生于毫末；九層之臺，起于累土；千里之行，始于足下。

A huge tree grows out of a small shoot; a nine-storied tower rises from a heap of earth; a thousand-mile journey begin with the first step.
