近朱者赤，近墨者黑    
jìn zhū zhĕ chì ， jìn mò zhĕ hēi
英译 (English) 1.One who mixes with vermilion will turn red, one who touches pitch shall be defiled therewith.2.He that lives with cripples learns to limp; Who keeps company with the wolf, will learn to howl.3.Good companions have good influence while bad ones have bad influence.
释义 (paraphrase) 靠着朱砂的变红，靠着墨的变黑。比喻接近好人可以使人变好，接近坏人可以使人变坏。指客观环境对人有很大影响。
示例 (demonstration) 交好的朋友可以让你变的更优秀，交到不好的朋友会让你也变坏的，因为“近朱者赤，近墨者黑啊。”
