管子语录 汉英双解

【原文】誉不虚出，而患不独生，福不择家，祸不索人，此之谓也。能以所闻瞻察，则事必明矣。《禁藏》

【汉解】荣誉不凭空出现，忧患不无故发生，幸福不挑选人家，灾祸不自动找到人的头上，就是这个意思。能用自己的亲身见闻探察反省，事情就清楚了。

【英译】Fame does not spring from nothing, nor does calamity have a single cause; good fortune does not seek out individual families, nor is disaster tied to individual men—the same idea is being expressed. Matters will certainly become clear if one is able to use what one has personally heard and seen to reflect on this.
