过去的已经过去，且一去不返，而聪明人总是努力着眼于现在和将来的事情，所以对过去耿耿于怀着无非是在捉弄自己罢了。 That which is past is gone, and irrevocable; and wise men have enough to do, with things present and to come; therefore they do but trifle with themselves, that labor in past matters.
好多智慧的冠冕，无非是一只“成功”的金尿壶，摆着堂皇的架势而已。 Many a crown of wisdom is but the golden chamber-pot of success, worn with pompous dignity.
