　　性善恶混

　　人性善恶混杂。“性善恶混”之说是古代的一种人性论观点。该说认为，人性既非全善，也非全恶，而是善恶并存。人之为善或为恶，取决于后天的修养。因此，在“性善恶混”的观念之下，学习和教化成为塑造良好德行的关键。

　　Human Nature Is a Mixture of Good and Evil

　　Human nature is a mixture of good and evil. This is a view of human nature held by ancient Chinese people. According to this theory, human nature can neither be all good nor all evil, but instead good and evil co-exist within us. Being good or evil is the result of cultivation after one's birth. Therefore, according to this theory, the key to being a person of virtue lies in learning and education.

　　引例 人之性也善恶混。修其善则为善人，修其恶则为恶人。（扬雄《法言·修身》）（人性善恶相混。修养其中善的部分则为善人，积累其中恶的部分则为恶人。）

　　Human nature is a mixture of good and evil. A person who cultivates good qualities will become a good person. One who cultivates evil will become a villain. (Yang Xiong: Exemplary Sayings)
