雙語(yǔ)詩(shī)歌翻譯|洪應(yīng)明-《菜根譚·學(xué)以致用 立業(yè)種德》

讀書如果不能領(lǐng)會(huì)圣賢教誨，那不過是像抄書工人一樣是書本的奴隸；做官如果不知道體恤百姓，那就無異于衣冠楚楚的大盜；只知研究學(xué)問卻不注意身體力行，那就不過是夸夸其談罷了；建功立業(yè)者如果不想著提高自己的德行，那就只能如曇花一現(xiàn)，不會(huì)長(zhǎng)久。

《菜根譚·學(xué)以致用 立業(yè)種德》 洪應(yīng)明

讀書不見圣賢，如鉛槧庸；居官不愛子民，如衣冠盜；講學(xué)不尚躬行，如口頭禪；立業(yè)不思種德，為眼前花。

He who studies without appreciating the insights of the wise men of old is no more than a copyist. He who holds office but loves not the common people is no more than a robber in official attire. Engaging in learning without refining one's conduct is behaving like a person who tries to live up conversations by quoting phrases from the scriptures that he does not understand. A career pursued without storing up virtue is as transitory as flowers that bloom and die before one's eyes.
