不得上訴於第三審法院 Not Appealable to the Court of Third Instance

「不得上訴於第三審法院。」是我自2015年起的口頭禪之一。	"Not appealable to the court of third instance." is one of my pet phrases since 2015.
這句話出自〈最高法院刑事判例69年台上字第2037號〉，它是我第一個接觸到的判例，因此刻骨銘心。	The sentence originated from Supreme Court criminal precedent, 69th year, Tai Shang Zi No. 2037, which was the first precedent that I contacted with and thus impressive to me.
其內涵在於：為了合理分配有限的司法資源，法律規定某幾種輕微案件不得上訴於第三審法院，至多兩審定讞。	It means: for reasonably distributing the finite judicial resources, the laws prescribe that certain kinds of minor cases are not appealable to the court of third instance, and a definitive judgement will be given by no more than two instances.
如此，當事人只剩下兩個審級可以平反，一個審級利益被法定剝奪了。	As a result, the person involved in such cases can argue for his justice in only two instances, and one of his instance benefit is legally deprived.
這顯示出了現實的殘酷。	This shows the cruelty of the reality.

存在與本質之先後 The Precedence of Existence and Essence

顯然，東西必須存在，我們才可能分析它的色、聲、香、味、觸等本質。所以，存在先於本質[1]。	Obviously, there must be a thing, so that we can analyze its kinds of essence, such as its form, sound, smell, taste or touch. Therefore, existence precedes essence.
但是，東西必須發出色、聲、香、味、觸等本質，我們才可能發現它的存在。所以，本質先於存在。	However, a thing must give off some kinds of essence, such as its form, sound, smell, taste or touch, so that we can discover its existence. Therefore, essence precedes existence.
綜上所述，存在若且唯若本質。	In summary, existence if only if essence.

此為存在主義之主張。

It is a claim of Existentialism.

學習之存在主義 Existentialism of Study

存在主義云者，不為他者而存在，專為自身而存在。	Existentialism means not to exist for other, but to exist for self.
學習之存在主義云者，以其準用，不為他者而學習，專為學習而學習。	Existentialism of Study means, analogously, not to study for other, but to study for study.
然為他者而學習一事之所謂他者，乃學習而得；復為他者而學習一事，亦學習而得，故一切學習當然學習之存在主義。	However, the "other" in the action "to study for other" is known by study, while the action "to study for other" is also known by study. Thus, any study is of existentialism of study, of course.
既學習而得學習之樂，自不外乎後設。	Since it brings us the joy of study by study, it is certainly of meta.
後設之抽象，非學習又不可得，如是堆疊，豈不偉哉？	The abstraction of meta can be known only by study, and thereby do you see the grand stack of the metalayers?

飯麵惡鬥 The Rice and Noodles' Dogfight

以下並非寓言故事。	The following is not a fable.
島上居民，傳統上吃的是飯。長老都說，飯既好吃又營養，所以島民都偏愛飯。不料，飯放太久，發餿長蟲了，但是當時島上除了飯以外，沒有其他主食了。	In an island, people traditionally ate rice. The elders always told them, rice tastes good and is nutritious, so the people preferred rice very much. However, since their rice lay too long, it soured and had bugs, but unfortunately, at that time, except for rice, they did not have any other staple food in the island.
於是有些島民，或自製、或引進一些新主食。其中，麵，漸漸被推廣起來了。雖然長老都宣稱，麵有毒，會導致肝膽分裂，三令五申地禁止麵，不過不少島民經過屢次的嘗試而證實，麵頂多和飯一樣，放太久而發餿長蟲。如此，麵才成為島上與飯一樣大宗的主食。	Then, some people introduced some home-made or imported new staple foods. Being one of them, noodles gradually became popularized. Even if the elders claimed noodles are detrimental, which tear people's gall from liver, and thus the elders tried to ban noodles again and again, many people proved by experience that, noodles are no more than rice, they sour and have bugs if they lie too long. By this, noodles became as popular as rice in the island.
飯麵各有優缺點，而每位島民對於優缺點的著眼點也不盡相同。通常，營養是首要的考量，但是如果口感太糟、賣相太差，還是會受到排斥。	Both rice and noodles have their own advantages and disadvantages, and everyone has his own viewpoints for consideration. In general, nutrition is the first reason in such consideration, but for too disgusting or too ugly foods, people will still say no to them.
有些島民更偏愛飯，有些島民則更偏愛麵，這些都是個人的喜好；但是非飯不吃、或非麵不吃的島民，會被視為偏食；至於經常嚷嚷著，飯麵惡鬥，結果飯麵都不吃的島民，一來，大家都覺得，飯麵惡鬥聽起來很荒唐；二來，大家都擔心，他會不會餓死。	Some people prefer rice, and some people prefer noodles, and of course, it is up to them. While some people who only eat rice, or only eat noodles will be thought picky eaters. As for those who keep murmuring they hate the rice and noodles' dogfight, and thus refusing to eat any of them, people feel the rice and noodles' dogfight sounds ridiculous, as well as people are afraid he is going to starve.
好吃的飯麵，必須四處打聽，才知道在哪裡。聽說好吃的飯麵，必須親自品嘗，才知道真假。也不打聽、也不品嘗的島民，往往享受不到美食人生。	We shall seek and taste rice and noodles by ourselves, so that we can filter out the rotten ones, and get tasty ones, then join the food festival.
飯麵必須輪流著吃，才不會放太久而發餿長蟲。當然，也有可能，飯麵都發餿長蟲，這時，不妨改吃饅頭或麵包。	We shall eat rice and noodles by turns, in order to avoid them from lying too long, souring and having bugs. Of course, it is possible that rice and noodles sour and have bugs at same time. At this time, we can turn to steamed bun or bread.
如今，島上有飯、麵、饅頭、麵包、米粉、通心粉、燒餅、披薩等琳瑯滿目的選擇。除了少數島民抱怨，這樣太混亂以外，多數島民都覺得有豐富的選擇是好事。	Nowadays, there are rice, noodles, steamed bun, bread, rice flour, macaroni, pastry, pizza, and other dazzling choices in the island. Except for a minority who complain too many choices make them confused, a majority think it is good for them to have multiplex choices.

學而時習之 We Learn and Often Practice

〈論語‧學而第一〉子曰：「學而時習之，不亦說乎？有朋自遠方來，不亦樂乎？人不知而不慍，不亦君子乎？」	In Studying, Analects, Confucius said: "We learn and often practice. Aren't we happy? A friend comes from a distant place. Aren't we joyful? We don't anger for people's ignorance. Aren't we a gentleman?"
重讀這篇，感觸良多。我覺得，這篇呈現出的是一種平實、純粹、清淨、怡然自得的生活。	Rereading this article, I get more feelings. I think, this article shows a simple, pure, peaceful, and contented life.
有飯可食、有衣可穿，愛物惜福；看看書、敘敘舊，知足常樂；乃至於進則仕、退則隱，一切隨緣。	A contented life is to thank for foods and clothes, to enjoy reading books and chatting with friends, to leave it to destiny whether to hold a post or not.
若將這篇看作什麼大聖大賢的大道理，那是過度解讀了。	We shall not overinterpret this article as if it brings up a sage.
其實，若人們都生活得怡然自得，實在也不必什麼聖賢之道了。或者說，聖賢之道，就是為了讓人們獲得怡然自得的生活。	Truly, if people are living contentedly, we don't need a sage, or, we need a sage just to help people to contented lives.
因此，這篇被安排在論語之開頭，卻也是全書之結論，可謂開門見山。若不能體會編者的這個提示，那是糟蹋了他的美意了。	Therefore, this article, being arranged at the beginning of Analects, is just the conclusion of the book. It comes straight to the point. We shall realize such tip given by the book's arranger, otherwise, we shall disappoint him a lot.
最要不得的是，反其道而行，自命聖賢，刻意兼善天下，反而干預了人們怡然自得的生活。	However, the most terrible thing is that, someone acts in a way opposite to this article. He, regarding himself as a sage, aims to benefit the world, but interrupts people's contented lives due to his unnatural actions.
這篇就是以描述這種怡然自得的生活，呈現出最透徹的人生觀。	We shall realize that, this article shows its most deep philosophy by describing such a contented life.
