Thành Ngữ Thông Dụng

vãn tuồng NOT dản. Please check again. Thanks.

Bác chắc đọc không rõ.

vãn ----> dản vì chữ v thành d và dấu ~ thành ? Hiểu chưa ?

Đây là lối nói của một số người trong miền nam.

Vãn tuồng. OK I've fixed it.

Ngô thập hữu ngũ nhi chí vu học,
tam thập nhi lập, tứ thập nhi bất hoặc,
ngũ thập nhi tri thiên mệnh, lục thập nhi nhĩ-thuận,
thất thập nhi tòng tâm sở dục bất du củ.

At fifteen, I set my heart on learning.At thirty, I could stand firmly (on what I have learned). At forty, I had no doubts left. At fifty, I knew the Decree of Heaven. At sixty, I was already obedient to this Decree. At seventy, I could follow my heart's wishes without overstepping the boundaries (of what is right).

Fija, I guess you misunderstand the use of preposition "for". "To live for" or "To die for" are phrasal verbs.

A phrasal verb is a verb plus a preposition or adverb which creates a meaning different from the original verb.

Phrasal verb = Verb + preposition

We use for when we say a period of time.

eg: I have been waiting for two hours. i.e, 2 hours ago-->now

What I meant was your sentence needs preposition for to indicate a period of time.
