子夏曰：日知其所亡，月無忘其所能，可謂好學也已矣。Zixia said: One who each day learns what he did not know, and each month does not forget what he has mastered, may be called fond of learning.
白Plain Chinese
子夏说，每天知道自己原来不知道的，每月不忘自己已经掌握的，就可以算好学了。

家Other commentaries
Our base text is Zhu Xi's Collected Commentaries (above). Here are other commentaries side by side: for old commentaries, the first line of the sub-commentary with a link to the woodblock scan; for modern editions, one short quoted translation for comparison. The “compared with Zhu Xi” notes are written by Yikonglu, not quoted.

Compared with Zhu Xi
| Commentary | Point | Relation | Confidence | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 杨伯峻《论语译注》 | same | settled | 亡为无，日进未知月不忘已能，日新且守旧；月无忘不是一个月只读一次的规定。 | |
| 钱穆《论语新解》 | same | fairly sure | 同以日知未有、月不忘已能为好学日新不失；钱将博文约礼与学进德立相联，朱引尹氏作简括。 |
