前人云:"抛却自家无尽藏，沿门持钵效贫儿。"又云:"暴富贫 儿休说梦，谁家灶里火无烟〃一箴自昧所有，一箴自夸所有，可为 学问切戒。
【今译】
从前有人说：抛弃家中无尽财，沿街要饭穷光蛋。"又说:"穷 人暴富莫说梦，谁家灶里无炊烟？〃这两句话，一句是救治妄自菲薄 的人，一句是救治自夸其富的人。对此，做学问的人要认真引以为 戒。 | There is an old saying which tells about people who'cast away their family wealth and go about begging with a begging bowl.” Another adage goes: “An upstart should not brag and boast like a madman talking in his sleep. Is there any household without smoke spiralling from its kitchen chimney?^ The first warns us against not knowing ourselves; the second warns us against conceit. We scholars should draw important lessons from them. |
