佛说

涂于德

佛说：大肚包容，忍世间难忍之事； 笑口常开，笑天下可笑之人


The big belly can tolerate, tolerating the affairs hard to tolerate; usually open mouth to smile, which laughs at those who let people feel laughable（试译）

请教于书友译法

Big Belly tolerate, tolerating affairs hard to tolerate;
usually open mouth to laugh, laughing at the laughable

涂于德

Much more understandable & simpler,
but
how to make a set of two setences, performed in the style of the original ones?

maybe, just maybe.....
change tolerate into endure
then it could be made more like a whole style.

Big Belly endure, enduring affairs unendurable;
usually open mouth to laugh, laughing at the laughable

resonance

笑口常开的部分这样翻译很不对劲，超级chinglish

Resonance, you've done a great job.


Yes, come to "笑口常开", not easy to show a smiling face

Still puzzled
