A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
贫困
Poverty
A far greater factor than abolishing poverty is the deterrent effect of swift and certain consequences: swift arrest, prompt trial, certain penalty and - at some point - finality of judgment.
比消除贫困更重要的因素是迅速和某些后果的威慑作用:迅速逮捕、迅速审判、某些惩罚以及在某一时刻作出最后判决。
That the poor are invisible is one of the most important things about them. They are not simply neglected and forgotten as in the old rhetoric of reform; what is much worse, they are not seen.

However mean your life is, meet it and live it: do not shun it and call it hard names. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Things do not change, we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧。不要麻烦自己去找新的东西，无论是衣服还是朋友。万物不变，是我们在变。卖掉你的衣服，保留你的思想。
