【3】他认为每个人都应该有机会接受教育，无论他们是富有还是贫穷。

【5】He said young people should take care of the old.

【解析】这篇短文主要介绍了中国古代的思想家和教育家孔子的生平，他在教育以及思想方面对社会的贡献。

【1】题意：英译汉。the greatest teacher：最伟大的老师；in Chinese history：在中国历史上。

所以此句翻译是孔子是中国历史上最伟大的老师。

【2】题意：汉译英。根据时间“在他十五岁时”可知此句时态是一般过去式；at the age of…：在……岁的时候；begin to do sth.：开始做某事；学习音乐：learn music；故此句汉译英是At the age of fifteen he began to learn music。

【3】题意：英译汉。have a chance to do sth.：做某事的机会；get education：接受教育；whether …or …：无论…还是…；故此句译成汉语是“他认为每个人都应该有机会接受教育，无论他们是富有还是贫穷。”

【4】题意：英译汉。短语see…as…：把...看成...，认为…是…；故此句译成汉语是“中国人认为孔子是最伟大的思想家，也是最伟大的老师。”

【5】题意：汉译英。根据语境可知此句主从复合句，主句时态是一般过去式（他说指的是孔子说），从句讲的是真理，应用一般现在时。照顾：take care of/look after；故此句的汉译英是He said young people should take care of the old。
