第6章 稳当话也即平常话 本分人也即快活人

Proper words are ordinary words;dutiful persons are happy persons.

稳当[1]话,却是平常话,所以听稳当话者不多;本分[2]人,即是快活人,无奈做本分人者甚少。

中文注释

[1]稳当:稳妥贴切。

[2]本分:安分守己。

今文解译

妥帖的话也即平常的话,所以听得进妥帖话的人不多。

本分的人也即快乐的人,只可惜愿做本分人的人太少。

English Translation

Proper words are what called ordinary words;that's why those who are unwilling to pay heed to them are many.

Dutiful persons are what called happy persons;but it's a regret that those who are ready to stick to their duties are few.
