彼富我仁，彼爵我义，君子固不为君相所牢笼；人定胜天，志一动气，君子亦不受造化之陶铸。Others have riches; I have a sprit of benevolence. Others have high rank; I have a sense of righteousness. A man of virtue should avoid the fetters of high rank and substantial emolument. Since man can prevail over Nature, with a firm will and devotion, a man of virtue can certainly build up his strength and refuse to be moulded by the forces that created the Universe.
（保罗·怀特 译）
Others have riches while I cherish benevolence. Others have official titles while I value righteousness. He that is called noble-minded will never be tied to the power and its advantages. Human beings can certainly conquer Nature. Concentrated mind gives rise to tremendous force. He that is called strong-willed will never be constrained by the Creator.
（周文标 译）
