一日為師,終身為父
有這樣的譯法:
He who teaches me for one day is my father for life.
If you are my teacher for even one day,you will be my teacher (mentor) all my life.
He who teaches me may be considered myfather-figure for life.
這幾種譯法意思都是"老師即使對我只有一天的教誨,也會讓我一生都受用不盡."外國人也有他們表達師生關系的諺語,如:
Teach others to fish and they will fishfor a lifetime. (授人以魚,不如授人以漁)
Give a man fish, he will have a meal;teach him to fish, he will have food all his life.
