摘要
Mencius expressed his opinion that anyone who has seen the sea will not be impressed by other waters; by way of analogy, anyone who has learned from a sage will not be attracted to other doctrines. What Mencius means is that only those who have broadened their perceptions can have lofty aspirations. According to this, it is important to broaden our horizons.
孟子以"孔子登东山而小鲁,登泰山而小天下"为喻,说明"观于海者难为水,游于圣人之门者难为言"的道理。有比较才有鉴别,有了"大",才显"小"。孟子的意思是眼界高的人志大,眼界小的人则心小。有鉴于此,我们开拓眼界就显得尤为重要了。
