中國昔時賢文 Chinese wisdom words of the past - (081)
只有千里的聲名,---Zhi3 you3 qian li3 di2 sheng ming2,
沒有千里的威風.---Mei2 you3 qian li3 di2 wei feng.
Your reputation may be known as far as a thousand miles,
But your power and prestige will not travel that far.
-------------------------------------------
只有上不去的天,---Zhi3 you3 shang4 bu4 qu4 de tian,
沒有過不去的山.---Mei2 you3 guo4 bu4 qu4 de shan.
The only place that we cannot go is the sky,
There are no mountains that we cannot cross.
---------------------------------------------
一瓶子不響,---Yi ping2 zi3 bu4 xiang3,
半瓶子晃蕩.---Ban4 ping2 zi3 huang4 dang4.
The half-filled bottle sloshes,
The full bottle remains still.
(The dabbler in knowledge chatters away
whereas the wise man stays silent
