菜根谭

序号	标题	中文	英文
17	17	【原文】处世让一步为高，退步即进步的张本；待人宽一分是福，利人实利己的根基。【今译】为人处世，懂得退让一步才算高明，因为退步是进步的准备；待人接物，懂得宽厚一分才是福气，因为利人是利己的基础。	When conducting yourself in society, it is wise to be ready to make concessions. To retreat a pace is to make good preparation for a later advance. To treat others with kindness is part of your own happiness, for by benefiting others you lay the foundation for your own future benefit.
18	18	【原文】盖世功劳，当不得一个矜字；弥天罪证，当不住一个悔字。【今译】即使立下丰功伟绩，也禁不住一个"矜"字，骄矜会使功劳无存；即使犯了滔天罪行，也经不住一个"悔"字，忏悔能把罪过赎回。	No matter how earth-shaking one's achievements, self-conceit will cancel them out. No matter how horrendous one's sins, repentance will atone for them.
19	19	【原文】完名美节，不宜独任，分些与人，可以远害全身；辱行污名，不宜全推，引些归己，可以韬光养德。【今译】美好的名誉和高尚的节操，不应一人独自享有，要分一部分给他人，这样可以避免灾祸、保全自己；可耻的行为和恶劣的名声，不要一概推给他人，要拉一些归自己，这样可以深藏不露、修养品德。	When your good reputation goes hand in hand with your high morals, you should not treat these achievements exclusively as your own, but share them with others. That way you preserve yourself from distant dangers. Shameful conduct and unsavoury reputation should not be foisted off entirely onto others, but some should be taken on your own shoulders. That way you can hide your capacities and cultivate your virtue.
20	20	【原文】事事留个有余不尽的意思，便造物不能忌我，鬼神不能损我。若业必求满，功必求盈者，不生内变，必召外忧。【今译】不论做什么事，都要留有余地，这样上天不会怨我，鬼神不会害我。如果在事业上追求完美，功业上达到圆满，即使内部不生变故，外部忧患也会到来。	Whatever I do, I leave some part of it unfinished; that way the Creator will not frown on me and the ghosts and spirits will not be able to harm me. If, in the course of self-cultivation, I strive for seamless perfection, and in the course of earthly achievements I head straight for the summit, even though I incur no internal calamity, I will surely bring upon myself some external grief.
