277	277	【原文】欲其中者，波沸寒潭，山林不见其寂；虚其中者，凉生酷暑，朝市不知其暄。【今译】内心充满欲望，寒冷的水潭也会波浪沸腾，在高山和树林中也不觉寂静；内心没有杂念，最热的夏天也有凉爽感觉，在官场和集市上也不觉吵闹。	A heart filled with desires could create surging waves on a frozen pond. A person with such a heart would not find tranquillity even in the depths of the mountains and forests. On the other hand, a man whose heart contains no distracting thoughts would find even the dog days cool, and would not notice the hubbub even in a crowded market.
278	278	【原文】多藏者厚亡，故知富不如贫之无虑；高步者疾颠，故知贵不如贱之常安。【今译】财富聚得多的人丢失得也多，由此得知富人不如穷人无忧无虑；步子迈得大的人摔得也快，由此得知当官不如百姓长久平安。	When a man accumulates a great store of wealth, he becomes susceptible to losing a large fortune. From this we can know that a rich man has more worries than a poor man. When a man ascends to a lofty position too quickly, it is hard for him to avoid toppling to the ground. From this we can know that a man of high rank does not rest as easy as a commoner.
279	279	【原文】读易晓窗，丹砂研松间之露；谈经午案，宝磬宣竹下之风。【今译】清晨在窗户下阅读《周易》，圈点用的丹沙是用松林间露水所研磨；午间在书案旁谈论佛经，远扬的磬声宣示着竹林的清风。	Reading the Book of Changes by an open window in the early morning, use the dew dripping from the pine trees to make cinnabar ink with which to underline passages of outstanding wisdom. At noon, standing by the study table expounding on Buddhist Scriptures, tap the jade chimes and let their tinkling be carried far and wide by the wind in the bamboos.
280	280	【原文】花居盆内终乏生机，鸟落笼中便减天趣。不若山间花鸟错集成文，翱翔自若，自是悠然会心。【今译】花栽盆内终究少了自然生机；鸟进笼子于是少了天然情趣。不如在山里面，花开鸟飞呈现一派天然文采，翱翔自若，自然而然在轻松愉快中就有所觉悟。	When a flower is planted in a pot it may wax luxuriant, but in the end it will lack the vitality of natural growth. When a bird is housed in a cage it may sing as before, but its natural exuberance will be decreased. The captive flower and bird will not be like the flowers and birds which mingle freely in the mountains and form that natural tableau which so delights people’s hearts. It is the freedom and contentment of the wild bird’s soaring flight that enables a person to grasp the zest of Nature.
