读韩鹏杰中文和许渊冲院士英文的《道德经》笔记（9）

原文:持而盈之，不如其已。揣而棁之，不可长保。金玉满堂，莫之能守。富贵而骄，自遗其咎。功遂身退，天之道。

翻译:Don't hold your fill

but refrain from excess.

A whetted and sharpened sword

cannot be sharp for ever.

A houseful of gold and jade

cannot be safeguarded.

Arrogance of wealth and power

will bring ruin.

Withdrawal after success

conforms to the divine law.

我的读后感:事情做好了，不要居功，这就是天道。
