雙語(yǔ)詩(shī)歌翻譯|洪應(yīng)明-《菜根譚·富貴名譽(yù) 來(lái)自道德》

榮華富貴的顯赫，假如是從道德修養(yǎng)中得來(lái)，那就如同生長(zhǎng)在大自然環(huán)境中的野花，會(huì)不斷繁殖綿延不絕；如果是從建功立業(yè)中得來(lái)，那就如同生長(zhǎng)在花園中的盆景一般，只要稍微移植，花木的成長(zhǎng)就會(huì)受到嚴(yán)重的影響；假如是靠特權(quán)，甚至惡勢(shì)力得來(lái)，那就如同插在玻璃瓶中的花朵，由于根部并沒(méi)有深植在土中，所以花的調(diào)謝枯萎指日可待。

《菜根譚·富貴名譽(yù) 來(lái)自道德》 洪應(yīng)明

富貴名譽(yù)，自道德來(lái)者，如山林中花，自是舒徐繁衍；自功業(yè)來(lái)者，如盆檻中花，便有遷徙興廢；若以權(quán)力得者，如瓶缽中花，其根不植，其萎可立而待矣。

If a man's wealth, rank and reputation spring from the cultivation of lofty virtue, they are like wild flowers growing profusely in the mountains and forests; they will flourish naturally and freely. If they are a result of his accomplishments, they are like flowers cultivated in flowerpots or growing on wooden frames; they have a time to bloom and a time to wither. If they are the fruits of naked power, they are like flowers placed in vases and bowls; their roots are not deeply planted, and they will fade away in no time.
