《菜根谭》英译（和气喜神、天人一理）

疾风怒雨，禽鸟戚戚；霁日光风，草木欣欣。可见天地不可一日无和气，人心不可一日无喜神。

When the wind rages and the rain beats down, even the birds seem woebegone. But when the rain ceases to pelt and the wind subsides, the very grass and trees bloom luxuriantly in the fresh sunshine. So, if the world cannot do without a period of sanctified peace during a day’s time, then men can definitely not tolerate a single day with their hearts totally bereft of joy.

（保罗·怀特 译）

When the wind rages and the rain pours down, even the birds and beasts are caught in tragedy. But when the sun comes out shining and the wind turns mild, the very grasses and trees are all immersed in delightfulness. Thus it can be seen that in Nature—not a single day could pass peacefully unless celestial and terrestrial forces go in harmony; and in the world of men—not a single day could be spent well if people are deprived of happy mood.
