雙語智慧書·讓人有饑餓感
299．讓人有饑餓感
讓人有饑餓感。哪怕是玉液瓊釀，也應(yīng)及時從嘴邊拿開。需求是衡量價值的標(biāo)尺。哪怕在口渴的時候，淺嘗也比牛飲顯得更有品味。少且精則倍加美好，第二回的滿足則身價大跌。過度的快樂總有危險，而且會招致眾神的憤怒。要取悅于人，唯一的辦法就是吊他胃口，讓他保持餓意。如果你一定要激起別人的欲望，最好是讓他著急，而不是讓他享受。通過努力獲得的快樂給人雙倍的喜悅。
299．Leave off hungry
Leave off hungry. One ought to remove even the bowl of nectar from the lips. Demand is the measure of value. Even with regard to bodily thirst it is a mark of good taste to slake but not to quench it. Little and good is twice good. The second time comes a great falling off. Surfeit of pleasure was always dangerous and brings down the ill-will of the Highest Powers. The only way to please is to revive the appetite by the hunger that is left. If you must excite desire, better do it by the impatience of want than by the repletion of enjoyment. Happiness earned gives double joy.
