第63章 兢业的心思 潇洒的趣味

Unrestrained interest for life is as vital as assiduous thoughts in learning.

学者要有段兢业[1]的心思，又要有段潇洒的趣味。若一味敛束[2]清苦，是有秋杀无春生，何以发育万物？

中文注释

[1]兢业：兢兢业业。

[2]敛束：收敛约束。

今文解译

为学者不仅要有刻苦钻研、积极向上的心志，而且还要有寄情山水、潇洒开放的情趣。如果只是一味地克制自己，清苦度日，生命就只有秋天的肃杀而没了春天的生机，万物何以生长发育呢？

EngIish TransIation

A scholar should have both assiduous thoughts in learning and unrestrained interest for life.If he restrains himself blindly by merely living under the plain and harsh circumstances,both his thoughts and his interest would seem wrecked by the decay of autumn and bereft of the vigor of spring.How can he be expected to nourish the world?
