A well - known writer once said, "The most taboo①thing in the world is perfection. Look at the moon in the sky. Once it is full, it will soon begin to wane; the fruits on the tree, once they are fully ripe②, will soon fall."
有位著名作家讲:“世界上的事情,最忌讳的就是个十全十美。你看那天上的月亮,一旦圆满了,马上就要亏;树上的果子,一旦熟透了,马上就要落。”
There should always be a little imperfection in everything so as to maintain permanence③.
凡事总要稍留欠缺,才能持恒。
It is a wonderful state that all things in nature still have room for upward growth, and so is life. After all, the moon begins to wane once it is full;water overflows when it is full. Therefore,"Grain④Buds⑤", a state of slight fullness, represents⑥the best state of life.
自然万物还有向上生长的空间才是美好的境界,人生也是如此。毕竟月满则亏,水满则溢,所以,小满才是最好的人生状态。
The dignity of adults lies in that, after being harassed⑦ by life, they can still maintain their kind - hearted and beauty - loving natures. There is no need to let others know about the trifles⑧; the years are peaceful and beautiful, and they can be calm and composed all by themselves.
成年人的体面,是在烟熏火燎之后,依旧能够保持善良,爱美的秉性。一地鸡毛,不需人知;岁月静好,且自信从容。
Zeng Guofan wrote a highly philosophical⑨ poem::The flowers are not yet in full bloom and the moon is not yet full. Slightly⑩ drunk halfway up the mountain, one can enjoy all the remaining joys. There is no need to worry too much about gains and losses. After all,"Grain Buds" is better than complete perfection.
曾国藩写过一首饱含哲理的诗:花未全开月未圆,半山微醉尽余欢。何须多虑盈亏事,终归小满胜万全。
Be neither impatient nor hasty, and keep everything in moderation⑪. Don't be complacent⑫ and be aware of your own deficiencies⑬. "Grain Buds" represents the best state of life.
不急不躁,分寸正好。不自满,知不足。小满,才是最好的人生状态。
There should always be room for everything, and when one is complacent, one should not go any further.Being half - content with everything is a kind of "just - right" wisdom. In life, one should "cherish the incomplete and be grateful for one's blessings". Only when it is not full can there be room for growth; only when it is not prosperous⑭ can there be room for progress.
凡事当留余地,得意不宜再往。万事半称心,是一种“刚刚好”的智慧。做人“求缺惜福”。未满,才有上升的空间;未盛,方有进步的余地。
Stumbling is normal, and it is inevitable that things won't go as one wishes. Take this minor setback as an opportunity to be vigilant, empty the muddled state of mind, and reflect on the hesitating past. After the storm, the rainbow appears, and when the wound is healed, encourage oneself on the battlefeld once again!
磕磕绊绊是常态,事不如意也难免。趁这小伤警醒,放空泥泞心绪,反思彷徨过往。风雨后彩虹展颜,伤愈日再励疆场!
