Help others when you may; You will be helped someday.

好翻译

一般说来，英文写的应该发在外语学习版块，可我觉得自己的更像文学原创，所以先发在这儿。

A short but moving story.
As you said,help others and help yourself.
Thanks Good Translator a lot .

强呀，终于见到高手了呀。虽然，我个人有点小小的不同意见，在不同层面上：助人为乐，以及对助人为乐的解释。翻译兄认为是“善有善报”，但我有时候也没有得到任何的“好处”，或者还没有等到，呵呵。施恩不图报，这里心理似乎更平静一些……
helping others is a happy thing.只能这么安慰自己了。

施恩不图报，的确心理更为平静。
施小善而有意外之喜，也为一乐事。

bulunuo兄境界更高，敬佩！

不是境界高，是努力骗自己，呵呵。毕竟，现在各类的“礼”破坏的厉害，所以如果不抱希望，反而不容易受伤。呵呵。也许我希望太多……

近日恰巧在翻看菜根谭。


施恩者,内不见己,外不见人,则斗粟可当万钟之报;利物者,计己之施,责人之报,虽百镒难成一文之功。

The true benefactor forgets both himself as giver and others as receiver; with him a single dou peck of grain given merits ten thousant zhong bushels of the same in return.
The mere alms-giver calculates his own bestowal and expects others' repayment; with him a hundred yi pounds of gold parted with will hardly bring a penny's worth of gratitude.
菜根谭，蒋坚松英译，湖南人民出版社，2001

A true benefactor does not regard himself as doing good deeds, nor does he regard others as the recipients of his kindness. A Chinese peck of rice given in such a spirit is worth a granary. But when an alms-giver expects some requital for his largesse, even though he gives away a fortune, it is not worth a coper coin.
菜根谭（大中华文库），（英）怀特英译；新世界出版社，2003，12

看了好翻译兄的文章，综合楼上境界说，再加上钱一文兄也吐泡泡。忍不住水一下好贴。O(∩_∩)O哈！

英语为手打, 难免typo 吼吼。

就当译文对比研究了吧。
