对，也不对，礼记和论语都谈到，如果看到父母犯错，必须恭敬地劝说，父母不高兴的时候就先不说，等他高兴的时候再继续劝说，但如果父母已经犯罪了，那又有不同的处理方式，无论如何不能伤害父母或是逾越做子女的本分，更不能放任父母犯罪，因为那也会令父母蒙羞。

Yes and no, the Book of Rites and the Analects of Confucius both mention that if you see your parents make mistakes, you should advise them respectfully. If they get upset then you need to stop advising them for a while, when they're happy again then you should continue to advise them, but if your parents have already engaged in criminal behavior, then there is a different way to deal with things. Whatever you do you can't hurt your parents or overstep your role as their child, but you can also not let your parents committ crimes unfettered, because that is also letting your parents suffer shame.

有人说，中国人不知道孔子，不能算有思想的中国人；知道孔子，不知道《论��》，也不能算有思想的中国人。今天，我们就来学习《论语》。当然了，在课堂上，我们只能学一小部分。

Some people say, if Chinese people don't understand Confucius, they can't be considered an enlightened Chinese person. If they know Confucius, but don't understand The Analects, then they also shouldn't be considered an enlightened Chinese person. Today, we are going to study The Analects. Of course, in class, we are going to cover only a small aspect.
