书籍是镜子:你只能在其中看到你内心已有的东西。
释义:善于把握事物本质的人,不会违背金属和水的本性;善于制作器物的人,不会改变物体的形状和用途。
译文:人能克制自己的欲望就没有灾祸,做事不欺瞒别人就会睡得安稳。赏析:欲望太多,总有得不到的时候,得不到就会不择手段,肆意妄为,从而给自己带去灾祸。靠欺骗的方式立身处世的人将失去众人的信任,最终将无法在社会上立足。
The truth about the world is that anything is possible. Had you not seen it all from birth and thereby bled it of its strangeness it would appear to you for what it is. A hat trick in a medicine show. A fevered dream. A trance bepopulate with chimeras having neither analogue nor precedent. An itinerant carnival. A migratory tentshow whose ultimate destination after many a pitch in many a mudded field is unspeakable and calamitous beyond reckoning.
