------第5章 财富之悟------



财富属于懂得分享它的人,而不属于只会占有它的人。

财富越多,事务越忙。

利益蒙蔽了一些人的双眼,但也带给了另一些人一定的启发。

拥有金钱的好处就是可以使用金钱。

小得即知足好于多得而争吵。

He does not possess Wealth,it possesses him.

不是他拥有财富,而是财富拥有他。

Wealth is not his that has it,but his that enjoys it.

财富属于懂得分享它的人,而不属于只会占有它的人。

Women and Wine,Game and Deceit,Make the Wealth small,andthe Wants great.

欲望在女人与酒、游戏与骗术之间变大,相对的财富却变小了。

Great Estates may venture more;Little Boats must keep nearShore.

一叶小舟不应离岸远行,万贯家财却可掷千金投机。

He who multiplies Riches multiplies Cares.

财富越多,事务越忙。

When out of Favour,none know thee;when in,thou dost not knowthyself.

失意时,没人认识你;得意时,你不认识自己。

E"re Fancy you consult,consult your Purse.

想要花钱时,先看看钱包。

He that drinks fast,pays slow.

饮酒快的人付账慢。

He that pays for Work before it"s done,has but a pennyworth fortwopence.

工作未完就付钱,工作价值会贬值。

Poverty wants some things,Luxury many things,Avarice all things.

贫穷仅需要一点儿东西,奢侈却需要很多东西,而贪婪则需要全部的东西。

Interest which blinds some People,enlightens others.

利益蒙蔽了一些人的双眼,但也带给了另一些人一定的启发。

The Use of Money is all the Advantage there is in having Money.

拥有金钱的好处就是可以使用金钱。

Wealth and Content are not always Bed-fellows.

财富和知足并不总是同床者。

He that has a Trade,has an Office of Profit and Honour.

人有一技之长,即有收入与荣誉。

Now I"ve a sheep and a cow,every body bids me good morrow.

牛羊都有时,人人都对我点头。

Keep thy shop,&thy shop will keep thee.

商店管理好,足够管你饱。

The second Vice is Lying,the first is running in Debt.

最大的恶习是负债,其次是撒谎。

Prosperity discovers Vice,Adversity Virtue.

财富发现罪恶,逆境看见美德。

Creditors have better memories than debtors.

放债人比借债人的记性好。

The Creditors are a superstitious sect,great observers of setdays and times.

债权人都邪门了,他们是既定日子与时间的伟大遵守者。

Many a Man would have been worse,if his Estate had beenbetter.

很多人财富多了,良心就坏了。

For one poor Man there are an hundred indigent.

人穷百样缺。

If you"d know the Value of Money,go and borrow some.

假如你想了解金钱的价值,就去借一些吧。

Pay what you owe,and what you"re worth you"ll know.

付清你的欠债,将会明白自身价值所在。

Buy what thou hast no need of;and e"er long thou shalt sell thynecessaries.

今日一旦购入无用之物,明日就只能卖掉生活必需。

In Christmas feasting pray take care;Let not your table be aSnare;but with the Poor God"s Bounty share.

圣诞晚宴祈祷要注意;不要让你的餐桌成为陷阱;与穷人一起分享上帝的恩赐。

Haste makes Waste.

欲速则不达。

Many a Man thinks he is buying Pleasure,when he is really sellinghimself a Slave to it.

许多人认为自己花钱买了快乐,其实是花钱做了快乐的奴隶。

Avarice and Happiness never saw each other,how then shou"dthey become acquainted.

贪婪和幸福就像两条平行线,它们是不会结识的。

Better is a little with content than much with contention.

小得即知足好于多得而争吵。

Three Removes is as bad as a Fire.

搬家三次犹如火灾一场。

Don"t judge of Mens Wealth or Piety,by their SundayAppearances.

不要通过一个人的周日打扮来判断他的财富多少和虔诚程度。

Poor to ape the Rich,as for the Frog to swell,in order to equalthe Ox.

穷人装扮成富人,就像青蛙鼓起肚子欲与公牛匹敌一样。

Content makes poor men rich;Discontent makes rich Men poor.

知足让穷人变富,贪婪让富人变穷。

Who is rich?He that is content.Who is that?Nobody.

富者为谁?即知足者。知足者为谁?即无名小辈。

What shall it profit a Man,if he gain the whole World,and lose hisown Soul?Without some Care in this Matter,tho"thou may"st come tocount thy Thousands,thou wilt possibly still appear poor in the Eyes ofthe Discerning,even here,and be really so for ever hereafter.

如果一个人得到了整个世界,却失去了自己的灵魂,又有什么用呢?如果不注重这方面,即使他以后飞黄腾达,但在明白人眼里,他永远都是一贫如洗。

The poor have little,beggars none,the rich too much,enough notone.

穷人可谓几乎没有,乞丐称为一无所有;富人即使拥有太多,却无人说足够了。

The poor man must walk to get meat for his stomach,the richman to get a stomach to his meat.

穷人忧愁食不果腹;富人却劳神开胃食肉。

Proportion your Charity to the Strength of your Estate,or God willproportion your Estate to the Weakness of your Charity.

拿出你的一部分财富做善事,否则上帝会根据你的行善多少而改变你的财产。未完待续......欲知下回,请关注微信公众号: xiaoyida_com ,回复 xse91492 获取完整内容!
