雙語智慧書·萬物已近極致
1．萬物已近極致
萬物已近極致，為人處世的藝術(shù)更是如此。當今若想成就一位智者，花費的工夫比造就希臘七賢(1)還要多；現(xiàn)在要應(yīng)付一個人，所需的智謀比從前應(yīng)付整整一個民族還要多。
1．Everything is at its acme
Everything is at its acme, especially the art of making one's way in the world. There is more required nowadays to make a single wise man than formerly to make Seven Sages, and more is needed nowadays to deal with a single person than was required with a whole people in former times.
(1) 指公元前6世紀希臘的Solon、Thales、Pittacus、Bias、Chilo、Periander和Cleobulus。
