2012年：“入则恳恳以尽忠，出则谦谦以自悔”

【出处】出自元代张养浩《为政忠告》书，又名《三事忠告》之《庙堂忠告·献纳第九》一章。原文为“臣之於君也，入则恳恳以尽忠，出则谦谦以自悔，凡所白於上者，不可泄於外而伐诸人，善则归君，过则归己。”

【释义】臣是为君的，为官则要勤勤恳恳以尽忠，离任则要恭恭谦谦以自省，凡是明白上面说的，不要有错泄愤于地方官怪罪别人，应该要把功劳归结于君，过错归结于自己。

【英译】Officials should serve as loyal as they can conscientiously when they are in office and engage in modest self-reflection when their terms end.

2011年：“召远在修近，闭祸在除怨”

【出处】出自《管子·版法》，节选自“法天合德，象法无亲，参于日月，佐于四时。悦在施，有众在废私，召远在修近，闭祸在除怨。修长在乎任贤，高安在乎同利”。

【释义】召远：招纳远方的人；修：整治；近：指国内；闭：堵塞；除怨：消除民怨。要招纳远方的人们，就要先整治好国内；要避免祸乱的发生，在于消除人怨。

2010年：“时进则进，时退则退，动静不失其时”

【出处】语出《彖传》。原文为：“艮，止也。时止则止，时行则行，动静不失其时，其道光明。艮其止，止其所也。上下敌应，不相与也。是以不获其身，行其庭不见其人，无咎也。” 《彖传》为易传中的一部分，是解释六十四卦卦辞的。

2009年：“取火莫若取燧，汲水莫若凿井”

【出处】西汉初年淮南王刘安等编著《淮南子·卷六览冥训》“河九折注于海，而不绝者，昆仑之输也，潦水不泄，瀇瀁极望，旬月不雨则涸而枯泽，受瀷而无源者。譬若羿请不死之药于西王母，姮娥窃以奔月，怅然有丧，无以续之。何则？不知不死之药所由生也。是故乞火不若取燧，寄汲不若凿井。 ”

【释义】指求取火种不如自己去使用打火的燧石，想得到水不如自己去凿井。不要单纯地想获得结果，而要学会如何获得。

【英译】But we know full well that we would better fetch a flint than beg for lightwood and we would better dig a well for ourselves than beg for water from others.

2008年：“周虽旧邦，其命惟新” “如将不尽，与古为新”

【释义】“周虽旧邦，其命惟新”大意是“周朝虽然是旧的国家，但却禀受了新的使命”；“如将不尽，与古为新”原文说的是文艺创作中的体会，说大自然美景难以穷尽，只要深入体察，就能不断创新诗境。

【英译】Though the Zhou Dynasty is old, it takes on new missions. If we learn from the past, which is an inexhaustible source, we can get something new.

2007年：“名为治平无事，实有不测之忧”

【出处】这一古语出自宋代苏轼的《晁错论》，原文是“天下之患，最不可为者，名为治平无事，而其实有不测之忧。”

2006年：“思所以危则安，思所以乱则治，思所以亡则存”

2005年：“居安思危，思则有备，有备无患”

【出处】《左传·襄公十一年》

【释义】生活安宁时要考虑危险的到来，考虑到了这一点就要为危险而做准备，事先有了准备，等到事发时就不会造成悲剧了。

【英译】At times of peace, we should think of the potential dangers; when we do so, we will be fully prepared; when we are fully prepared, there will be no troubles to worry about.

2004年：“路漫漫其修远兮，吾将上下而求索”

【出处】出自屈原的名作《离骚》。原句为“朝发轫于苍梧兮，夕余至乎县圃；欲少留此灵琐兮，日忽忽其将暮；吾令羲和弭节兮，望崦嵫而匆迫；路漫漫其修远兮，吾将上下而求索。”

【释义】在追寻真理方面，前方的道路还很漫长，但我将百折不挠，不遗余力地去追求和探索。

【英译】The way ahead is long; I see no ending, yet high and low I will search with my will unbending. （杨宪益译）

2003年：“苟利国家生死以，岂因祸福避趋之”

【出处】出自晚清民族英雄林则徐《赴戍登程口占示家人》一诗。

【释义】全心全意追求国家的利益，不会因为个人安危逃避责任。全诗：力微任重久神疲，再竭衰庸定不支。苟利国家生死以，岂因祸福避趋之。谪居正是君恩厚，养拙刚于戍卒宜。戏与山妻谈故事，试吟断送老头皮。

【英译】If what I do serves the interests of my country, I will go at it even at the cost of my own life, I will not shy away from doing it be it weal or woe for me.
