彼富我仁，彼爵我義，君子固不為君相所牢籠；人定勝天，志一動氣，君子亦不受造化之陶鑄。

    譯文：

    別人有財(cái)富我堅(jiān)守仁德，別人有爵祿我堅(jiān)守正義，所以一個有高風(fēng)亮節(jié)的君子絕對不會被君主的高官厚祿所束縛或收買。人的智慧能戰(zhàn)勝大自然，理想意志可以轉(zhuǎn)變自己的感情氣質(zhì)，所以一個有才德理智的君子絕對不受命運(yùn)的擺布。

    Others have riches； I have a sprit of benevolence. Others have high rank； I have a sense of righteousness. A man of virtue should avoid the fetters of high rank and substantial emolument. Since man can prevail over Nature， with a firm will and devotion， a man of virtue can certainly build up his strength and refuse to be moulded by the forces that created the Universe.

    （保羅。懷特 譯）

    Others have riches while I cherish benevolence. Others have official titles while I value righteousness. He that is called noble-minded will never be tied to the power and its advantages. Human beings can certainly conquer Nature. Concentrated mind gives rise to tremendous force. He that is called strong-willed will never be constrained by the Creator.

    （周文標(biāo) 譯）
