一事起则一害生，故天下常以无事为福。读前人诗云：“劝君莫 话封侯事，一将功成万骨枯。〃又云："天下常令万事平，匣中不惜 千年死。"虽有雄心猛气，不觉化为冰霰矣。
【今译】
办起一件事情就会生出一件相应的坏事，所以天下人常把无事 看成福。前人有诗说："劝您莫谈封侯拜将事，一将立功千万人死 亡。"前人又说：常让天下万事太平，不惜宝剑千年不用。"读了这 些诗句，再有雄心壮志，也会化为细碎的雪粒了。 | When advantage appears, disadvantage emerges too. Therefore, people often regard refraining from activity as happiness. An ancient poem goes: “I would advise my lord to shun discussing warfare and the acquisition of fiefdoms, because one generars victory leaves thousands of men’s bones to rot.” There is also the saying: “If only peace and disengagement could come to the Empire, it would be no matter of regret if the sword rusted in its scabbard for a thousand years.”Upon reading these lines, even a valiant and fiery spirit would not help becoming as cold and desolate as a drop of ice. |
