第78章 宽宏大量 胸能容物

Tolerance breeds breadth of mind.

地至秽者多生物，水至清者常无鱼。故君子当存含垢纳污之量，不可持好洁独行之操。

今文解译

越是污秽不堪的地方生物也就越多；过于清澈的水里常常见不到鱼儿。由此可见，一个真正的君子应该要有容人过失的雅量，切不可因独善其身而孤芳自赏。

Where the place is extremely dirty there likely breed organisms aplenty.Where the water is too clear there are always no fish.So the accomplished man should be tolerant of others'mistakes,and should not merely content himself with his own purity and moral integrity.
