1)Riches and power are attended and followed by folly, and folly in return by licence; whereas poverty and lowliness are attended by sobriety and moderation.譯文: 富貴使人愚昧恣肆,而貧賤使人清明在躬,嗜欲有節。(錢鐘書譯)
2)Get a livelihood and then practise virtue.先謀生而后修身
3)Their language was almost unrestrained by any motive of prudence. 他們幾乎愛講什么就將什么,都沒有顧及到什么謹慎不謹慎的問題。
