(6)乖僻自是,悔悟必多;頹惰自甘,家園終替。
Egocentric people grow
Much regret and sorrow;
Lazy, slothful people sow
Poverty tomorrow.
(7)施惠勿念;受恩莫忘。
In proclaiming your virtues go slow;
And be mindful of mercy you own.
(8)凡事當(dāng)留余地,得意不宜再往。
Leave room for retreat
When trying new feat.
You will try, try in vain
To repeat windfall gain.
(9)人有喜慶,不可生忌妒心;人有禍患,不可生欣幸心。
Don’t envy other’s success;
Don’t gloat o’er other’s distress.
(注:o’er即over,為了譯文的音律而采用縮略的形式)
(10)善欲人見(jiàn),不是真善;惡恐人知,便是大惡。
To brag of the good you have done
Will never impress anyone.
Personal scandals you try hard to hide
Will soon be known far and wide.
