《菜根谭》英译（志在林泉、心怀廊庙）

居轩冕之中，不可无山林的气味；处林泉之下，须要怀廊庙的经纶。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

The great officers of the court must foster in themselves a bit of the mindset of the hermit who lives in the mountains and forests. At the same time, the recluse must never abandon the ambition and ability to serve his country.

（保罗·怀特 译）

Those who enjoy high positions and handsome salaries should not be dispensed of the plain makings of the hermit in mountains and forests. Contrarily, those who live in seclusion far from the earthly world must be provided with great ambitions and statecrafts to serve the country and people.

（周文标 译）
