文章做到极处,无有他奇,只是恰好;人品做到极处,无有他异,只是本然。
When a piece of writing reaches the acme of perfection, it is not
because
it contains some miraculous ingredient, but because it is written
in
exactly the right way. When a man refines his moral character to
the point
of perfection, he does so not with the aid of any magic formula,
but by
letting his pure inborn nature shine forth.
(保罗·怀特 译)
When a piece of writing is made to have reached the acme of
perfection,
what counts is not how peculiar its style appears but the right way
in
which it is expressed and the right extent it has attained. When a
man has
refined his moral standing to the loftiest realm, what deserves to
be
admired is not how outstanding he behaves but how exactly he acts
in
accord with his pure and honest inborn nature.
(周文标 译)
