在浩瀚的人生舞台上，智慧如同璀璨的星光，照亮前行的道路。让我们揭开“舍得的艺术”，探寻其中蕴藏的深邃智慧，指引我们走向更加美好的人生。

On the vast stage of life, wisdom is like resplendent stars, illuminating the path ahead. Let us unveil the "art of giving and taking," explore the profound wisdom it holds, and guide us towards an even better life.

1. 侍卫们要求秦穆公处死那些村民，秦穆公说：村民们不知道是我的马，才会做出这样的举动。现在马已经死了，责备他们也没什么用处。我看他们就这样吃马肉很无趣，我还要再赏给他们几十坛酒，让他们尽兴。

1. The guards demanded that King Mu of Qin execute the villagers, but King Mu replied: "The villagers did not know that it was my horse, which led them to such actions. Now that the horse is dead, it is useless to blame them. I find it rather uninteresting for them to just eat horse meat, so I will also reward them with dozens of jars of wine to ensure their enjoyment."

2. 如果你什么都想拥有，就越容易失去。而你愿意失去一些什么，才能得到你想要的东西。

2. The more you want to have everything, the easier it is to lose it. And what are you willing to lose in order to get what you want?

3. 俗话说：财散人聚，财聚人散。如果你把自己的利益看的很重，不会考虑别人的感受，让别人寒了心。而如果可以舍掉一些自己的利益，就可以赢得人心，为自己的未来添砖加瓦。

3. As the saying goes: "When wealth is scattered, people gather; when wealth is accumulated, people scatter." If you place too much emphasis on your own interests and do not consider others' feelings, you may make others feel cold-hearted. However, if you are willing to give up some of your own interests, you can win people's hearts and lay a solid foundation for your future.

4. 一次，为了营救一名犯罪的地方恶霸，他直接把县令打了一顿，公然把死刑犯恶霸带走。还恶人先告状，向朝廷举报县令徇私枉法。

4. Once, in order to rescue a local tyrant criminal, he directly beat up the county magistrate and openly took away the death row criminal. Moreover, he accused the county magistrate first, reporting to the court that the magistrate was perverting justice for personal gain.

5. 80年代，美国著名的普林斯顿大学，特邀钱钟书去讲学，每周只需钱钟书讲40分钟课，一共只讲12次，酬金16万美元。食宿全包，可带夫人同往。待遇如此丰厚，可是钱钟书却拒绝了。

5. In the 1980s, the renowned Princeton University in the United States invited Qian Zhongshu to give lectures. Qian Zhongshu was required to teach for only 40 minutes each week, and the total number of lectures was 12, with a fee of $160,000. Accommodation and meals were included, and he was allowed to bring his wife along. With such generous compensation, Qian Zhongshu, however, declined the invitation.

6. 当代大学者钱钟书，终生淡泊名利，甘于寂寞。他谢绝所有新闻媒体的采访，中央电视台《东方之子》栏目的记者，曾千方百计想冲破钱钟书的防线，最后还是不无遗憾地对全国观众宣告：钱钟书先生坚决不接受采访，我们只能尊重他的意见。

6. The contemporary scholar Qian Zhongshu, throughout his life, was indifferent to fame and fortune, content with solitude. He refused all interviews from the news media. The journalist from the "Eastern Child" program of China Central Television had tried in various ways to break through Qian Zhongshu's defense line, but in the end, he had to announce to the national audience with no little regret: Mr. Qian Zhongshu firmly refuses to accept interviews, and we can only respect his opinion.

7. 内心充满欢喜，他才能把欢喜给你；他的内心蕴藏着无限的慈悲，他才能把慈悲给你。自己有财，才能舍财；自己有道，才能舍道。有的人心中只有贪嗔愚痴，他给人的当然也是贪嗔愚痴。所以我们劝人不要把烦恼、愁闷传染给别人，因为舍什么就会得什么，这是必然的因果。

7. He can only give joy to you when his heart is filled with joy; he can only give compassion to you when his heart holds infinite mercy. He can only give away his wealth when he has it; he can only give away his path when he possesses it. Some people's hearts are filled only with greed, anger, and ignorance, and what they give to others is naturally also greed, anger, and ignorance. Therefore, we advise people not to spread worries and melancholy to others, because whatever you give away, you will receive in return; this is the inevitable cause and effect.

8. 大师说：“我们登山吧，到山顶你就知道该怎么做了。”那山上有许多晶莹的小石头，煞是迷人。每次见到年轻人喜欢的石头，大师就让他装进袋子里背着，很快，他就吃不消了。“大师，再背，别说到山顶了，恐怕连动也不能动了。”他疑惑地望着大师。“是呀，那该怎么办呢？”

8. The master said, "Let's climb the mountain. When you reach the top, you'll know what to do." The mountain is adorned with many sparkling little stones, which are very charming. Every time he saw a stone that young people liked, the master would tell him to put it in his bag and carry it. Soon, he couldn't bear the weight anymore. "Master, if I carry any more, not to mention reaching the top of the mountain, I'm afraid I won't even be able to move." He looked疑惑ly at the master. "Yes, then what should we do?"

9. 人生苦短，活一天少一天，我们不要因为身外之物而纠缠不已。学会放下，舍弃不利于自己的东西，才能从容做好自己，平安喜乐，福寿俱全。

9. Life is short, and each day is a day less. Let us not be entangled by worldly possessions. Learn to let go, abandon things that are detrimental to ourselves, and only then can we live with ease, enjoy peace and happiness, and possess both fortune and longevity.

10. 最后，朱元璋得知实情，用铁鞭活活把朱亮祖打死。

10. Finally, when Zhu Yuanzhang learned the truth, he used an iron whip to literally beat Zhu Liangzu to death.

11. 舍得，即愿意付出，不吝惜。有舍才有得，要想得，必须舍弃。有舍有得，不舍不得，大舍大得，小舍小得。舍得是一种人生智慧和态度。舍得不是舍与得之间的日常计较，而是对已得和可得的东西进行决断的情怀和智慧。舍得既是一种处世的哲学，也是一种做人做事的艺术。

11. "Shě dé" means to be willing to give and not to be stingy. There is gain only after giving, and to gain, one must give up. There is gain when there is giving, and there is no gain without giving up. The more one gives, the more one gains; the less one gives, the less one gains. "Shě dé" is a form of life wisdom and attitude. It is not a daily calculation between giving and gaining, but rather the sentiment and wisdom in making decisions about what has been gained and what can be gained. "Shě dé" is both a philosophy of living and an art of dealing with people and things.

12. 有一个聪明的年轻人，很想在一切方面都比他身边的人强，他尤其想成为一名大学问家。可是，许多年过去了，他的学业没有长进。他很苦恼，就去向一个大师求教。

12. There was a clever young man who desperately wanted to be superior to everyone around him in every aspect, especially he desired to become a great scholar. However, many years passed and his academic progress had not improved. He was very distressed and sought the guidance of a master.

13. 生活的最高智慧，是舍得。小舍小得，大舍大得，不舍不得。

13. The highest wisdom in life is to be willing to let go. Little letting go brings little gain, big letting go brings big gain, and no letting go brings no gain.

14. 不管你拥有多少功劳，做出多少成绩，都已经是昨天的故事。不要把它作为今天炫耀的资本。你炫耀得越多，记恨你的人就越多，你的危险就越大。

14. No matter how many achievements or merits you have accumulated, they are already stories of yesterday. Don't use them as capital for boasting today. The more you boast, the more people will harbor grudges against you, and the greater your danger will become.

15. 春秋时期，秦穆公非常喜欢的一匹名马丢失。他非常着急，带着侍卫们四处寻找，最后发现自己走失的名马，已经被几百个村民杀死，正在烤马肉吃。

15. During the Spring and Autumn period, the famous horse that the Duke of Qin Mu was very fond of was lost. He was very anxious and led his guards to search everywhere. In the end, he found out that the lost horse he had wandered off had been killed by hundreds of villagers, and they were in the process of roasting the horse meat for consumption.

16. 这个世界上最忌讳的就是完美，残缺才是世界的真相。你拥有了健康，未必可以拥有财富。你拥有了权利，未必就能拥有平安。你拥有了娇妻美妾，未必就能拥有很长的寿命。

16. The most taboo in the world is perfection; imperfection is the truth of the world. Having health doesn't necessarily mean you can have wealth. Having power doesn't guarantee you can have peace. Having a beautiful wife and concubines doesn't necessarily mean you can have a long life.

17. 你之所以举步维艰，就是因为背负太重，你之所以背负太重，就是你还没学会舍弃，功名利禄常常微笑着置人于死地。你舍弃了烦恼，就能便与快乐结缘，舍弃了利益，就能步入超然的境地，你如果连舍弃都舍弃了，就更为伟大了，几乎能够步入圣人的行列。

17. The reason why you are struggling to take each step is because you are carrying too much burden. The reason why you are carrying too much burden is because you haven't learned to let go. The pursuit of fame and fortune often smiles to the death of a person. If you let go of your troubles, you can be associated with happiness; if you let go of your interests, you can step into a state of transcendence. If you even let go of the act of letting go, then you are even greater, almost able to enter the ranks of sages.

18. 这是一个有舍才有得的世界。

18. This is a world where you have to give up to receive.

19. 你若真正把握了舍与得的机理和尺度，便等于把握了人生的钥匙和成功的机遇。要知道，百年的人生，也不过就是一舍一得的重复。

19. If you truly grasp the mechanism and scale of giving and taking, you have essentially grasped the key to life and the opportunities for success. You should know that a century of life is no more than a repetition of giving and taking.

21. Several years later, Duke Mu of Qin led his troops to fight against the Jin state at Mount Xiang. Duke Mu of Qin was defeated and surrounded, with his life hanging by a thread. At this moment, a group of several hundred people emerged from the halfway point, fought to the death, and managed to rescue Duke Mu of Qin from the perilous situation. These people were the hundreds of villagers who had previously been pardoned by Duke Mu of Qin.

22. 舍与得就如水与火、天与地、阴与阳一样，是既对立又统一的矛盾概念。舍与得相生相克，相辅相成，存于天地，存于人世，存于心间，存于微妙的细节，囊括了万物运行的所有机理。万事万物只有在舍得之中才能达至和谐，达到统一。你若真正把握了舍与得的机理和尺度，便等于把握了人生的钥匙和成功机遇。要知道，百年的人生，也不过就是一舍一得的重复。

22. Giving and receiving, like water and fire, heaven and earth, yin and yang, are contradictory concepts that are both opposite and unified. Giving and receiving are interdependent, complementing each other, existing in the heavens and the earth, in human society, in the heart, in the subtle details, encompassing all the mechanisms of the functioning of all things. All things must reach harmony and unity through giving and receiving. If you truly grasp the principles and measure of giving and receiving, you have grasped the key to life and the opportunities for success. Remember, a hundred years of life is nothing more than a repetition of giving and receiving.

24. There is gain where there is taking, and there is gain in giving up. Only by giving up can one truly gain. The greater the sacrifice, the greater the gain. Life is filled with gains and losses; gain is loss, and loss is gain, which is why it is the highest境界 of life. The ultimate state should be one of neither gain nor loss. However, people are always afraid of both gain and loss. They fear loss before gaining, and they fear loss after gaining. The wise approach is to learn to let go. Giving up is a state of being, where the greater the sacrifice, the greater the gain. The smaller the sacrifice, the smaller the gain, and one cannot gain without giving up.

25. 学会舍弃一些东西，是为自己积攒福报，是给生命招来好运，是对人生的一种成全。

25. Learning to let go of certain things is accumulating blessings for oneself, attracting good fortune to life, and a form of fulfillment in life.

26. 舍得既是一种处世的哲学，也是一种做人做事的艺术。舍与得就如水与火、天与地、阴与阳一样，是既对立又统一的矛盾概念，相生相克，相辅相成，存于天地，存于人世，存于心间，存于微妙的细节，囊括了万物运行的所有机理。万事万物均在舍得之中，才能达至和谐，达到统一。

26. Generosity is both a philosophy of dealing with life and an art of being and doing. Giving and receiving, like water and fire, heaven and earth, yin and yang, are contradictory concepts that are both opposite and unified. They complement and negate each other, coexist in the universe, in human society, in the heart, and in the subtle details, encompassing all the mechanisms of the operation of all things. Only when all things are in the state of giving and receiving can harmony and unity be achieved.

28. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang sent him to serve in Guangdong. Relying on his merits, Zhu Liangzu did not hold local officials in high regard and often interfered in local administration for his own interests, acting arbitrarily, and disregarding laws and regulations.

29. 忘掉功劳，以平常心过日子，以谦虚心待他人，才能平安顺遂，一世无忧。

29. Forget about achievements, live a life with a normal heart, and treat others with humility. Only then can one lead a peaceful and prosperous life, free from worries throughout their lifetime.

30. 人降临世界的时候，手是合拢的，似乎在说：“世界是我的。”他离开世界时手是张开的，仿佛在说：“瞧哪，我什么都没有带走。”是的，其实人生就是一连串取舍的过程。

30. When a person enters the world, their hands are clasped, as if to say, "The world is mine." When they leave the world, their hands are open, as if to say, "Look, I have taken nothing with me." Yes, in reality, life is a series of processes of choosing and giving up.

31. Laozi said: "To retire after achieving success is the way of heaven."

32. 大师微微一笑，“该放下了，不放下，背着石头怎能登山呢？”大师笑了。年轻人一愣，忽觉心中一亮，向大师道谢后走了。之后，他一心做学问，最终成为一名大学问家。其实，人要有所得必有所失，只有学会放弃，才有可能登上人生的高峰。

32. The master smiled slightly, "It's time to let go. How can one climb a mountain while carrying a stone?" The master laughed. The young man was taken aback, suddenly feeling a spark of insight. After thanking the master, he left. After that, he devoted himself entirely to learning, eventually becoming a great scholar. In fact, one must lose something to gain something; only by learning to let go can one possibly reach the peak of life.
