真廉無名,立名者所以為貪;大巧無術,用術者所以為拙。
【今文解譯】
真正的廉潔不需廉潔為其名:為自己樹立廉潔的名聲,其實就是一種貪圖名聲的行為。
真正的才智不需機巧為其術:靠玩弄機巧來施展才智,其實就是為了掩飾自己的笨拙。
【English Translation】
True honesty has no reputation to seek; the person who seeks reputation for himself is called greedy.
Great wisdom needs no craft to resort to; the person who resorts to craft is called clumsy.
淡名利者 未忘名利之情
