雙語詩歌翻譯|佚名-《增廣賢文·119》

《增廣賢文》。又名《昔時賢文》《古今賢文》，是中國明代時期編寫的道家兒童啟蒙書目。書名最早見之于明萬歷年間的戲曲《牡丹亭》，據(jù)此可推知此書最遲寫成于萬歷年間?！对鰪V賢文》集結中國從古到今的各種格言、諺語。后來，經(jīng)過明、清兩代文人的不斷增補，才改成現(xiàn)在這個模樣，稱《增廣昔時賢文》，通稱《增廣賢文》。

《增廣賢文·119》 佚名

善有善報，
惡有惡報。
若有不報，
日子未到。
水不緊，
魚不跳。
年年防饑，
夜夜防盜。
禍福無門，
惟人自召。
好義固為人包欽，
貪利乃為鬼所笑。
賢者不炫已之長，
君子不奪人所好。

Benevolence will be rewarded benevolently,,
Malevolence will be rewarded malevolently.
If you have not seen them rewarded,
It is because that
The opportunity has not yet arisen.
Fish do not jump when the water is not swift.
Guard against theft every night,
Guard against famine every year.
Disaster and fortune are uncontrollable,
They are the mere results of people’s deeds.
People appreciate
Those who boldly defend justice,
Even ghosts laugh at
Those who greedily struggle for profit.
A virtuous person
Does not show off what he is good at,
A gentleman
Does not grab others’ cherished things.
