1)Riches and power are attended and followed by folly, and folly in return by licence; whereas poverty and lowliness are attended by sobriety and moderation.译文: 富贵使人愚昧恣肆,而贫贱使人清明在躬,嗜欲有节。(钱钟书译)
2)Get a livelihood and then practise virtue.先谋生而后修身
3)Their language was almost unrestrained by any motive of prudence. 他们几乎爱讲什么就将什么,都没有顾及到什么谨慎不谨慎的问题。
