被美國(guó)總統(tǒng)引用過(guò)的中國(guó)風(fēng)

    2.里根

　　1984年里根在訪華的歡迎晚宴祝酒辭中說(shuō)：

　　Many centuries ago, Wang Po, a famous Chinese poet-philosopher, wrote,“Although we reside in far corners of the world, having a good friend is akin to having a good neighbor.”

　　在許多世紀(jì)之前，一位名叫王勃的中國(guó)哲學(xué)家和詩(shī)人寫(xiě)過(guò)：“海內(nèi)存知己、天涯若比鄰”。

　　也許是覺(jué)得“海內(nèi)存知己、天涯若比鄰”太淺顯，還不夠減輕中國(guó)主人對(duì)他的疑慮，美國(guó)國(guó)務(wù)院的中國(guó)通又為里根在第二天中國(guó)總理晚宴上的祝酒辭中加了一句加大互信力度的話(huà)：…let us be of the same mind. And as a saying from “The Book of Changes”goes,“If two people are of the same mind, their sharpness can cut through metal.”

　　讓我們同心同德，正如。易經(jīng)》中一句話(huà)說(shuō)的那樣“二人同心，其利斷金”。
