真的？希望得到英语大侠指点
我想忠于原著，现在几乎所有的翻译都是将《论语》先翻成现代汉语，再译现代汉语，窃以为这不是好办法。
英译也可不顾现代语法直译，保持原文朴素风格

『24』子曰：「吾十有五而志於學，三十而立，四十而不惑，五十而知天命，六十而耳順，七十而從心所欲，不逾矩。」
James Legge：
The Master said, "At fifteen, I had my mind bent on learning. At thirty, I stood firm. At forty, I had no doubts. At fifty, I knew the decrees of Heaven. At sixty, my ear was an obedient organ for the reception of truth. At seventy, I could follow what my heart desired, without transgressing what was right."
三处似不妥：
stood firm
Heaven
reception of truth
