雙語詩歌翻譯|洪應(yīng)明-《菜根譚·施之不求 求之無功》

施恩惠給別人的人，不可老把恩惠記在心頭；不應(yīng)有讓別人贊美的念頭；這樣即使是一斗米也可收到萬鐘的回報；用財物幫助別人的人，如果計較自 己對人的施舍，而且要求人家的報答，這樣即使是付出一百鎰，也難收到一 文錢的功效。

《菜根譚·施之不求 求之無功》 洪應(yīng)明

施恩者，內(nèi)不見己，外不見人，則斗粟可當萬鐘之惠；利物者，計己之施，責人之報，雖百鎰難成一文之功。

A true benefactor does not regard himself as doing good deeds, nor does he regard others as the recipients of his kindness. A Chinese peck of rice given in such a spirit is worthy a granary. But when an alms-giver expects some requital for his largesse, even though he gives away a fortune, it is not worth a copper coin.
