雙語詩歌翻譯|《中庸·二十四》

真誠到極點，可以預(yù)知未來。國家將要興旺，必然有吉祥的征兆；國家將要衰亡，必然有不祥的反?，F(xiàn)象。或者呈現(xiàn)在占卜的蓍草龜甲上，或者表現(xiàn)在人的動作狀態(tài)上。禍福將要來臨時，是?？梢灶A(yù)先知道，是禍也可以預(yù)先知道。所以極端真誠就像神靈一樣微妙

中庸·二十四

至誠之道，可以前知。國家將興，必有禎祥。國家將亡，必有妖孽。見乎蓍龜，動乎四體。禍福將至：善，必先知之；不善，必先知之。故至誠如神。

XXIV

It is an attribute of the possession of absolute truth to be able to foreknow. When a nation or family is about to flourish there are sure to be lucky omens. When a nation or family is about to perish, there are sure to be signs and prodigies. These things manifest themselves in the instruments of divination and in the agitation of the human body. When happiness or calamity is about to come, it can be known beforehand. When it is good, it can be known beforehand. When it is evil, it can also be known beforehand. Therefore he who possesses absolute truth is like a spiritual being.
