摘要
一提起读书人，人们往往即刻与瘦削无力、弱不禁风联系起来，文弱书生便是人们对这一群体的形象素描。在不少人的观念里，读书人不仅四体不勤，而且除了“之乎者也”外别无所能，因此与读书做学问这～职业群体相对应的，还有“书呆子”这样一个颇有些调侃甚至是嘲讽意味的名号。其实，文弱书生也好，书呆子也罢，这都是汉以后某些终日埋头于故纸堆寻章摘句之人的形象写照，而在更早的时候，大多数读书人即便不能说是文武双全，也完全可以说是文体兼修的。我们的孔老夫子就不仅学问天下无双，而且还是一位不折不扣的运动健将。
Confucius had many kinds of sport skills. According to records in the classical Chinese works, Confucius attained a very high level of skill in the sports of archery, wagon driving and sprinting. Besides, Confucius was also good at mountain climbing, fishing and swimming and often participated in such events. In the era when Confucius was alive, people＇s average lifetime was roughly forty to fifty years old. Confucius died at the age of 73, which obviously was a result of his sustained physical exercise.
