TrTranslation
蔡文姬，能辨琴，謝道韞，能詠吟。
Cai Wenji could tell the notes of the zither; Xie Daoyun could chant and compose verse.
彼女子，且聰敏，爾男子，當自警。
They were girls, and yet so clever. You boys should take this as a spur to yourselves.
Draft translation; it will be revised when the lecture is filmed.
From the Father's Lecture Notes
Of the book's 101 groups, this is the only one whose heroes are women. Both were real people, and both stories are easy to tell. The hard part is the second half: “They were girls, and yet so clever; you boys should take this as a spur.” Today that line cannot be taught at face value.
Translated from Yikonglu's Father's Lecture Notes for the Three Character Classic, written for a parent teaching a child.
