A rich man's body is like a premium cotton pillow, white and soft and blank. Ours are different. My father's spine was a knotted rope, and the skin on his chest was so thin that you could see the ribs pressing out against it.
富人的身体就像一个高级棉枕头，白而软且空白。我们的则不同。我父亲的脊椎像一根打结的绳子，他胸前的皮肤薄得可以看到肋骨压出来的痕迹。

生活就是成长和改变。当你停止成长，你就停止了生活。
The silence between them was heavy, filled with unspoken words and unresolved emotions.
译文：做官清正廉洁，就不会失去节操和名望，爱护百姓，最重要的是要亲近他们。赏析：不管是做官还是处事，我们都要公正公平，心存善心，自然就有很多人亲近我，尊重我们。

译文：有德行的人不会去炫耀自己的长处，有修养的人是不会去夺取别人喜欢的东西。赏析：不要随便议论别人的缺点，切莫夸耀自己的长处。做人低调不张扬，才不会引起别人的嫉妒和报复。别人喜欢的东西，不要一心想占为己有。
