解释：过去和现在风俗不同，为什么一定要效仿古代？
【译文】要像瓶口那样不轻易开口，要像城防那样时时戒备。宁愿让别人辜负我，决不让自己辜负别人。做事要三思而后行，首先不要违背自己的良心。活着的老虎尚可以靠近，心地恶毒的人千万不能亲近。在你跟前说别人坏话的人，就是制造是非的小人。
The architect must design for the future while honoring the past.
I have a vivid memory of what happened， and it was not what I expected. I expected to be applauded for my cleverness and arithmetic skills. "Jeff， you're so smart. You had to have made some tricky estimates， figure out the number of minutes in a year and do some division." That's not what happened. Instead， my grandmother burst into tears. I sat in the backseat and did not know what to do. While my grandmother sat crying， my grandfather， who had been driving in silence， pulled over onto the shoulder of the highway. He got out of the car and came around and opened my door and waited for me to follow. Was I in trouble？ My grandfather was a highly intelligent， quiet man. He had never said a harsh word to me， and maybe this was to be the first time？ Or maybe he would ask that I get back in the car and apologize to my grandmother. I had no experience in this realm with my grandparents and no way to gauge what the consequences might be. We stopped beside the trailer. My grandfather looked at me， and after a bit of silence， he gently and calmly said， "Jeff， one day you'll understand that it's harder to be kind than clever."
