Virtue and a trade, are a child's best
portion.
美德和手艺是送给孩子的最佳遗产。
Youth is pert and positive, age modest
and doubting: So ears of corn when young and light, stand bolt upright,
but hang their heads when weighty, full, and ripe.
年轻人朝气蓬勃，充满自信；老年人谦逊稳重，深思熟虑──这就好比谷穗幼嫩轻盈时，尚能挺立；而当它们成熟丰满后，便低垂下去。
It's easier to suppress the first desire,
than to satisfy all that follow it.
克制刚刚萌生的欲望，比满足随之产生的欲望容易。
