揭秘人生智慧与经验：从古代智慧到现代教训

1、英语翻译

Translation: Wine wastes five grains, giving rise to thieves; indulging in drinking, thieves are endless. Submit a report to the county magistrate, forbid the people from drinking. In the sentence “生起” in “On Balance,” what does it mean?

Wine consumes five grains and can (intoxicate the mind) turn people into thieves. If one indulges in drinking, more and more people will become thieves. It is necessary to ask the local officials to prohibit the common people from drinking. Here, “生” and “起” are mentioned together, both meaning occurrence or appearance. If it were to rise, it would be a resultative complement, which is not the case here.

The areas that have been eroded and damaged will practice exorcism and ward off evil spirits, using the principles of the five elements (the theory of mutual generation and restriction) to hang items such as gold, wood, water, and fire. Here, “起” means to start doing something. If it were to sit up, it would be a resultative complement, which is not the case here.

2、人到底可以无耻到什么地步

People can be shameless to the extent of harming others for their own benefit, bullying the weak, forcing others to do what they cannot, committing murder for money, robbery, deception, ingratitude, and doing all kinds of evil deeds. This is the so-called free life that those ignorant and shameless, uneducated people aspire to. They can go to the extent of shamelessness and persistence, manipulating all means and souls to achieve their desired interests, including power, money, and women. Once a person loses conscience, nothing is impossible. It is easier to be a bad person than a good person. To be a good person, one must resist temptation, control one’s greedy thoughts, and abide by rules and discipline, being honest and brave to do good deeds. Good people are trained, while bad people are spoiled. The nature of human beings is evil from the beginning, which is a fact. Without training, people will become extremely selfish and hurt others. Learning is just the instinct given by nature to human beings. It is only a step away to learn well or badly.
