用英文谈谈“因果报应”

曾经，寒山问拾得：“如果有人诽谤我，侮辱我，嘲笑我，鄙视我，伤害我，憎恨我，欺骗我，我该怎么办？”拾得回答说：“你只要容忍他，让着他，屈从他，避开他，忍受他，尊重他，不理他，十年之后你且看他！”

“无为”，是一种极高的人生智慧。关于“无为”的英语表达，上次我们说过。今天，我们看到拾得的回答“你且看他”，这实际上是说，“这种人自然会有他的报应”之意。“报应”，可以用“retribution”表达，也可以用：“nemesis”.

Once, a poet monk Han Shan asked another poet monk Shi De: “If someone slanders me, insults me, sneers at me, despises me, injures me, hates me, and deceives me, what should I do?” Shi De replied: “You just only tolerate him, let him, yield to him, avoid him, endure him, respect him, ignore him and wait for a decade, then you can see the nemesis of him.”
