翻译:
When Sima Wen Gong was young, he worried that his memory was not as good as others. While the other brothers played after reciting their lessons, he continued studying alone. He would keep reading until he could recite the text perfectly from memory. His hard work paid off, and what he memorized remained with him for life. Sima Wen Gong once said: "Books should not be read without memorizing. Whether on horseback or in the middle of the night when you can't sleep, recite the text and ponder its meaning, and you will gain much."
这篇故事通过讲述司马光年轻时克服自身弱点的经历,强调了勤奋学习的重要性,同时也提醒我们即使天资不足,通过后天的努力同样可以取得成功。
