《菜根谭》英译(家人有过、春风解冻)

  家人有过,不宜暴怒,不宜轻弃。此事难言,借他事隐讽之;今日不悟,俟来日再警之。如春见解冻,如和气消冰,才是家庭的型范。

 

When a family member makes a mistake, one must not fly into a rage; nor should one gloss over the mistake as if nothing had happened. If it is difficult to thrash the matter out, one may use an analogy to enlighten the offender. If this still fails to smooth out the problem, it is acceptable to wait until another, and more suitable, time to admonish the transgressor. Just like the spring wind that thaws the frost and the zephyr that melts the ice, this is a model for home education.

(保罗·怀特 译)

 

In case any of the family members happen to have done something faulty, we should not stamp with fury, nor should we easily let them off as if nothing had happened. If we feel unsuitable to blame them directly, we may draw lessons from others to satirize them metaphorically; and if we cannot find an opportunity to expostulate with them about the faults today, we might as well leave it over until the day available. Just like the spring breeze thawing the frozen land the warm climate melting the ice, this is the right way to deal with domestic affairs and a model for household management.

(周文标 译)
