多譽庸非蠲忿草,一謙良是闢兵符。
先生謦欬忘鷄口,俗子過逢動虎鬚。
多譽庸非蠲忿草,一謙良是闢兵符。
先生謦欬忘鷄口,俗子過逢動虎鬚。
過多的讚譽並非消除憤怒的草藥,
一點謙遜確實是避開兵災的符咒。
先生咳嗽清嗓,忘卻了雞口之利,
俗人偶然相遇,卻動輒觸及虎鬚。
Much praise is not the herb that washes away wrath,
A touch of humility truly wards off weapons' strife.
The master's cough and sigh forget the chicken's beak,
When common fellows meet, they stir the tiger's whiskers rife.
謙為闢兵符,是人際關係中低成本高收益的博弈策略。
探討謙遜美德可化解紛爭、避害遠禍的哲理。
本詩為七言絕句,押平聲韻。
