1. 1.懒惰者 懒惰的人可比作污秽的石头，人人都对他的耻辱嗤之以鼻。The Idler The indolent may be compared to a filthy stone, and every one hisses at his disgrace.💡
2. 2.懒惰人可比作粪堆的污物；任何拾起它的，都必从手上甩脱。The indolent may be compared to the filth of dunghills; any one that picks it up will shake it off his hand.💡
3. 3.败坏的儿女 教养无方的儿子是父亲的耻辱，生女儿也是损失。Degenerate Children It is a disgrace to be the father of an undisciplined son, and the birth of a daughter is a loss.💡
4. 4.聪明的女儿得其夫为荣，行为可耻者却使其父忧伤。A sensible daughter obtains her husband, but one who acts shamefully brings grief to her father.💡
5. 5.放肆的女儿使父亲和丈夫都蒙羞，也必被他们二人厌弃。An impudent daughter disgraces father and husband, and will be despised by both.💡
6. 6.哀痛时奏乐，正像在不该说话的时候讲述故事；但责备和管教，却是任何时候的智慧。Like music in mourning is a tale told at the wrong time, but chastising and discipline are wisdom at all times.💡
7. 7.智慧与愚昧 教导愚昧的人，如同粘合破瓦片，或唤醒沉睡不醒的人。Wisdom and Folly He who teaches a fool is like one who glues potsherds together, or who rouses a sleeper from deep slumber.💡
8. 8.向愚人述说故事，犹如对昏睡之人讲话；讲到末了，他必说："这是什么意思？"He who tells a story to a fool tells it to a drowsy man; and at the end he will say, “What is it?”💡
9. 11.为亡者哀哭，因他已失光明；为愚者哀哭，因他缺乏悟性。不必为亡者哀哭过甚，因他已得安息；惟愚人的生涯比死亡更为凄惨。Weep for the dead, for he lacks the light; and weep for the fool, for he lacks intelligence; weep less bitterly for the dead, for he has attained rest; but the life of the fool is worse than death.💡
10. 12.为死者举哀七日，愚顽不敬之人却哀悼终生。Mourning for the dead lasts seven days, but for a fool or an ungodly man it lasts all his life.💡
11. 13.不要与愚昧人多言，也不要拜访无知的人；要防备他，以免遭遇患难；当他就近你时，你也不会被沾染；要避开他，你就得享安息，也不会因他的癫狂而疲倦。Do not talk much with a foolish man, and do not visit an unintelligent man; guard yourself from him to escape trouble, and you will not be soiled when he shakes himself off; avoid him and you will find rest, and you will never be wearied by his madness.💡
12. 14.什么比铅更重呢？除了“愚人”这名称，它还能叫什么呢？What is heavier than lead? And what is its name except “Fool”?💡
13. 15.沙土、盐块和一块铁，都比愚昧人更易忍受。Sand, salt, and a piece of iron are easier to bear than a stupid man.💡
14. 16.建筑中嵌入牢固的木梁，地震袭来时不会松脱；同样，心灵若坚定于明智的忠告，危难临头时也不会惧怕。A wooden beam firmly bonded into a building will not be torn loose by an earthquake; so the mind firmly fixed on a reasonable counsel will not be afraid in a crisis.💡
15. 17.专注于睿智思想的头脑，犹如柱廊墙壁上的灰泥装饰。A mind settled on an intelligent thought is like the stucco decoration on the wall of a colonnade.💡
16. 18.设于高处的篱笆，不能抵挡风的吹袭；怀有愚妄之念的怯懦之心，也同样无法在任何恐惧面前坚定不移。Fences set on a high place will not stand firm against the wind; so a timid heart with a fool’s purpose will not stand firm against any fear.💡
17. 19.友谊的维系 刺人眼者，必使人泪流；刺人心者，必使其动情。The Preservation of Friendship A man who pricks an eye will make tears fall, and one who pricks the heart makes it show feeling.💡
18. 20.以石投飞鸟，鸟必惊散；辱骂朋友，友谊必断。One who throws a stone at birds scares them away, and one who reviles a friend will break off the friendship.💡
19. 21.即便你曾拔剑指向朋友，也请不要绝望，因为友情仍有重修于好的可能。Even if you have drawn your sword against a friend, do not despair, for a renewal of friendship is possible.💡
20. 22.若你曾开口攻击你的朋友，不必忧虑，因为仍可和解；但若是辱骂、傲慢、泄露秘密，或阴险的陷害——在这种情况下，任何朋友都会离去。If you have opened your mouth against your friend, do not worry, for reconciliation is possible; but as for reviling, arrogance, disclosure of secrets, or a treacherous blow— in these cases any friend will flee.💡
21. 23.在你邻舍贫穷时，取得他的信任，使你在他亨通时与他一同欢乐；在他遭难时与他站在一起，使你与他一同承受他的产业。Gain the trust of your neighbor in his poverty, that you may rejoice with him in his prosperity; stand by him in time of affliction, that you may share with him in his inheritance.💡
22. 24.炉中的蒸气和烟先于火；侮辱的话语先于流血。The vapor and smoke of the furnace precede the fire; so insults precede bloodshed.💡
23. 25.我不会以保护朋友为耻，也不会躲避他；I will not be ashamed to protect a friend, and I will not hide from him;💡
24. 26.但若因他我遭遇什么祸患，凡听见的就都防备他。but if some harm should happen to me because of him, whoever hears of it will beware of him.💡
25. 27.求助免于犯罪的祷文 唯愿有人守护我的口，在我唇上加盖审慎的封印，使我不致跌倒，免得我的舌头毁灭我！A Prayer for Help against Sinning O that a guard were set over my mouth, and a seal of prudence upon my lips, that it may keep me from falling, so that my tongue may not destroy me!💡
