雙語詩歌翻譯|洪應明-《菜根譚·兢業(yè)的心思 瀟灑的趣味》

《菜根譚》是明朝還初道人洪應明收集編著的一部論述修養(yǎng)、人生、處世、出世的語錄集，為曠古稀世的奇珍寶訓。對于人的正心修身、養(yǎng)性育德，有不可思議的潛移默化的力量。其文字簡煉明雋，兼采雅俗。似語錄，而有語錄所沒有的趣味；似隨筆，而有隨筆所不易及的整飭；似訓誡，而有訓誡所缺乏的親切醒豁；且有雨余山色，夜靜鐘聲，點染其間，其所言清霏有味，風月無邊。

《菜根譚·兢業(yè)的心思 瀟灑的趣味》 洪應明

學者有段兢業(yè)的心思，又要有段瀟灑的趣味。若一味斂束清苦，是有秋殺無春生，何以發(fā)育萬物？

Although a scholar should be circumspect in his behaviour, he should also have a lively and untrammeled spirit. What will happen if he exercises self-restraint to such an extent as to allow himself nothing other than a Spartan living? It will be just like having a world always in the grip of autumn's decay and bereft of spring's vigour. How then can the universe flourish?
