TrTranslation
如囊螢，如映雪，家雖貧，學不輟。
One read by a bag of fireflies, another by the light off the snow. Though their families were poor, they never stopped learning.
如負薪，如掛角，身雖勞，猶苦卓。
One read while carrying firewood, another hung his book on an ox's horn. Though their bodies were worn out, they still worked hard and stood firm.
Draft translation; it will be revised when the lecture is filmed.
From the Father's Lecture Notes
Four people: one read by firefly light, one by the glow of snow, one while carrying firewood, one with his book hung on an ox's horn. The point is not these four tricks but the idea of finding a way when there seems to be none.
Translated from Yikonglu's Father's Lecture Notes for the Three Character Classic, written for a parent teaching a child.
