中英对照《增广贤文》（一）

昔时贤文，诲汝谆谆。

集韵增文，多见多闻。

The wisdom of ancient aphorisms

Has been instructing people earnestly,

This expanded poetic collection of them

Can add knowledge to your philosophy.

（胡晓阳 译）

The wise sayings of old can instruct you again and again, for the knowledge scope they contain is as vast as a main.

（郭著章 译）
