周先生这个人

To many men Dr. Zhou is a stern master at school and a beloved friend in life. It seems that his strict discipline of the students in school has laid the foundation of a friendship with them which becomes more and more enriched later in life. At school he was shunned and avoided; today he is much sought after. From his personality radiates a warmth which is not often known among the closest of friends.

He loves drinking and enjoys wine tremendously. But he would not drink alone. Nowadays it is bad for his health if he should drink, but when he sits down at a table and enjoys the company, to the four winds with the doctor’s order. He would drain his cup with you one after another while telling you that he knows he is going to have a bad headache all the next day. So he goes along. He has a headache every day and he has his drinks with his friends every evening. He likes wine and enjoys comradeship.
But life is not worth anything if he is not kept busy. From morning till night he toils and works on some scheme which will meet a social need or solve a social problem. He may talk to you as if he were a pessimist beyond redemption, but his own activities are always prompted by unblenching idealism. As a matter of fact, he is today a hard worker who does not get paid for it. In Peiping or in Shanghai he is the most effective public citizen wherever he is found. He cannot be said to be rich or even well-to-do, but he is most lavish in digging into his own pocket in order to induce a millionaire to make a contribution to a worthy cause.

Proud as a Lucifer, he never tolerates an act which injures his dignity. Such as insult he would not take even from his closest friend. He is humble in admitting his own mistakes when his attention is directed to them in a friendly way, but even in his fifties he would have none of the foolishness which hurts his pride.

He is wiser today through his many disappointments. But where he excels others whom we revere is that he has regained his romanticism in life through his disillusions. In other words, he has got hold of what may be called the “secondwind” and the strength of his personality is irresistible.

周先生这个人

对很多人来说，周先生在学校是一位严师,在生活上是一位益友.他在学业上对学生们的严格要求似乎成为师生友谊的基石,而且这友谊还日渐深厚.读书时,大家都躲着他,避着他,而现在,大家都追着他,捧着他.他的人格散发着一种温暖,恐怕即使他最亲近的朋友都没察觉到这点.

他爱好饮酒,尤其钟爱葡萄酒,却不喜欢独饮.而今,喝酒于他的健康不利,可一旦他和朋友坐在酒桌上,医生的嘱咐可就一古脑儿给抛到脑后去了.他一边和你推杯换盏一边絮叨着他清楚第二天他会头痛欲裂.但他一如既往,我行我素，天天头痛,天天晚上照样和朋友喝他的酒.他喜欢酒,喜欢朋友相伴.

不过要是太清闲的话,他会觉得生活毫无价值.从早到晚,他日里万机(忙忙碌碌),处理或解决一些社交问题.他有时候象个不可救药的悲观主义者和你交谈,却总是在勇往直前的理想主义的鼓动下行事.实际上,现在他不过是个不求回报的辛勤工作者.在北京或上海不论他现身何处,他都是最有影响力的公众人物.他谈不上有钱,更说不上富有,但如果为了引导百万富翁给有意义的事业做点贡献, 他是最慷慨不过的,不惜掏出自己所有家底.

他又极度高傲,绝不宽容任何有伤其自尊的行为,就算是知交的粗鲁无礼他都不能容忍.如果客客气气的让他注意到他的过失,他会谦逊的承认,但即便是知天命之年,他也不允许任何鲁莽冒犯其自尊.

吃一堑,长一智,诸多挫折失望之后,他精明了些.但他胜过其他我们尊敬的人的地方在于他醒悟并重获生活的浪漫.换句话说，人格魅力不可抵挡。
