【汉译英】围炉夜话(第100则)令乡党无怨言
与其使乡党有誉言,不如令乡党无怨言;与其为子孙谋产业,不如教子孙习恒业。Rather than do things in a way that will earn the praise of your fellow villagers, do them in a way that will not arouse their complaint,
rather than strive to acquire wealth that you can pass on to your children, teach them how to make a livingand be self-reliant.
与其使乡党有誉言,不如令乡党无怨言;与其为子孙谋产业,不如教子孙习恒业。
Rather than try to earn the praise of your fellow villagers, try not to arouse their complaint,
