271.不管從事任何工作,如果你所知不多,就走最安全的路線
不管從事任何工作,如果你所知不多,就走最安全的路線。你這么做,即便不被人稱為機(jī)靈,也會(huì)被人認(rèn)為是穩(wěn)妥。另一方面,只有經(jīng)過良好訓(xùn)練的人,方可隨心所欲地勇往直前。如果無知而去冒險(xiǎn),和自毀沒有兩樣。在這種情況下,一定要站在正確的一邊,因?yàn)槭乱阎链?,就無法改變。所知不多的人,要走穩(wěn)當(dāng)?shù)拇蟮?。處理任何事,不管懂與不懂,穩(wěn)妥行事總比獨(dú)樹一幟更加明智。
271.In every occupation if you know little stick to the safest path
In every occupation if you know little stick to the safest. If you are not respected as subtle, you will be regarded as sure. On the other hand, a man well trained can plunge in and act as he pleases. To know little and yet seek danger is nothing else than to seek ruin. In such a case take stand on the right hand, for what is done cannot be undone. Let little knowledge keep to the king's highway, and in every case, knowing or unknowing, security is shrewder than singularity.
