寧享現在之福、勿作出位之思、莫非捕風捉影。

眼睛所看的比心里妄想的倒好。这也是虚空，也是捕风。

Better what the eye sees than the roving of the appetite. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

Being satisfied with what you have is better than always wanting more. That doesn’t have any meaning either. It’s like chasing the wind.

Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the appetite: this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

Enjoy what you have rather than desiring what you don’t have. Just dreaming about nice things is meaningless— like chasing the wind.

Better what the eyes see than wandering desire. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

What the eyes see is better than what the soul desires. This too is futility and striving after wind.

天下之事、我已灼見、無非捕風捉影。

外此更有不知足者、三四不等、若水蛭善吮、貪饕無厭焉、瘞埋之塚、不妊之婦、受水之區、燃物之火、俱不知足。

以我觀之、人在斯世、莫若為善而享福。上帝賜人、勤勞而得之、式飲式食、安享其成。

上帝賜人貨財、錫人尊榮、無所不有、己不敢逸、他人享之、此屬於虛、深可嘆也。

以我觀之、上帝使人一生操作、式飲式食、安享其成、豈不甚美。

如我叛乎正道、目視邪色、手染污衊、

我觀世人、勞而得功、同人媢嫉、此亦捕風捉影而已。

人生於世、辛勤憂慼、何益之有、終日勞苦、終夜不安、亦屬於虛。以我觀之、上帝所賜、既勤勞而得之、則必以飲以食、安坐而享、樂莫大焉。

由後而觀、覺勞而得者、莫非捕風捉影、於事無益、

吾觀萬事、空之又空、虛之又虛、

維爾小子、幼而嬉戲、其志愉快、隨心所欲、隨目所視、當思上帝必鞫爾、

越在疇昔、我折爾軛、解爾結、爾曰、必不犯罪、然於群峰之巔、茂林之下、縱欲奉事偶像。
