《菜根谭》英译（无名无位、无忧无虑）

人知名位为乐，不知无名无位之乐为最真；人知饥寒为虑，不知不饥不寒之虑更为甚。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

People know that fame and rank make men happy. But they do not know that the happiest men are those without fame and rank. People know that hunger and cold are what men worry about. But they do not know that there are other worries that could be worse.

（保罗·怀特 译）

People only know that it is a pleasure to have fame and rank, but not know that having no fame and rank is the truest pleasure. People only know that it is a worry to live in hunger and cold, but not know that the state free of hunger and cold is more than a worry.

（周文标 译）
