2016年，魯豫對(duì)蔡志忠有過一次專訪。鏡頭中的蔡志忠是一種不食人間煙火的模樣。他對(duì)魯豫講述了自己從四歲一直到現(xiàn)在的故事，講述了自己對(duì)于畫畫，公司，家庭，事業(yè)，宇宙各種各樣的，不同常人的經(jīng)歷和想法。他說了很多足以引起人深思的話，比如：一個(gè)人孤獨(dú)的時(shí)候，是智商最高的時(shí)候。比如：我從四歲半到現(xiàn)在過了別人十倍的人生。前幾天，無意間翻到蔡志忠的《西游記》漫畫，被他畫的如來佛瞬間逗的笑了一整天。
蔡志忠對(duì)于中國的傳統(tǒng)文化，有非常獨(dú)到和深厚的見解。他的漫畫作品中，有很大一部分是中國的傳統(tǒng)文化，例如：《論語》，《道德經(jīng)》，《孫子兵法》，四大名著等等的重新演繹和述說。這些看似非常嚴(yán)肅的國學(xué)，在他的筆下，通過生動(dòng)的漫畫形象和對(duì)話，總會(huì)讓人看著看著就忍不住笑出來。而笑過之后，又會(huì)馬上陷入沉思。我想，這大概就是蔡志忠的魅力所在吧。今天要分享的這組漫畫，節(jié)選自蔡志忠的《老子說》（中英版）講述的是“大智若愚”這幾個(gè)字。

From the most ancient times, the standard teachings had been: You must exhibit your strength and intelligence; don't let people think you are weak or foolish.
自古以來,一般的教誨都是: 人要表現(xiàn)堅(jiān)強(qiáng),不可柔弱 人要表現(xiàn)聰明,不要愚魯!
However, a very unique man named Laozi appeared early on in Chinese history.
不過,中國歷史上卻出現(xiàn)一位“老子”與眾不同。

Most people think that being strong is good!
路人甲：一般人都認(rèn)為,剛強(qiáng)好啊!
But strength will break where weakness will remain intact.
老子：剛強(qiáng)的容易折斷, 柔弱的才能夠保全。

For instance, what's the hardest part of your body And what's the softest?
老子：比如說,你身上什么最硬?什么最軟?
My teeth are the hardest and my tongue is the softest.
路人甲：牙齒最硬!舌頭最軟
Take a look, I'm so old that my teeth have all fallen out yet my tongue is just fine.
老子：你看,到了我這年紀(jì)全部脫落了,舌頭卻完好無恙。

A huge tree is stronger than a tiny blade of grass, right?
老子： 大樹比小草剛強(qiáng)吧?
Right!
弟子：是啊!
But in a typhoon, it's the huge tree that gets pulled up by the force of the wind, while the tiny grass just sways back and forth.
老子：臺(tái)風(fēng)來的時(shí)候大樹經(jīng)常被連根拔起,小草卻完好無恙。

Most people think that intelligence is good, but a wise person should exhibit foolishness. Great wisdom appears to be foolishness.
老子：一般人認(rèn)為聰明好,但一個(gè)智者應(yīng)該表現(xiàn)愚魯,大智若愚。大富翁通常深藏不露。
Wealthy people often give the appearance of having nothing.
大富翁通常深藏不露。

If you want to be a success, concentrate all of your energy and intelligence on one thing and play the fool in all others.
如果想有所成就,一定要把全部的智力、精力集中在一點(diǎn),而在其他方面做一個(gè)愚者才行。
