人生的一大错事,就是和糊涂人说明白话。
The biggest mistake in life is to explain things to confused people.
听到过这样一个笑话:
I have heard a joke like this:
古时候有两个人争执,一个人说四四十六,另一个人说四四十八。
In ancient times, there was a dispute between two people, one said '4-46' and the other said '4-48'.
最后闹到府衙让县令明断,县令最终判四四十八的人无罪释放,判四四十六的人三十大板。
In the end, the situation escalated to the government office and the county magistrate made a clear decision. The county magistrate ultimately acquitted and released the individuals with a death sentence of 4-48, and sentenced the individuals with a death sentence of 4-46 to 30.
之后有人质疑县令为何如此这般,县令说:“跟糊涂的人争辩,就是更糊涂,不打他打谁。”
Later, someone questioned why the county magistrate acted this way. The magistrate said, "Arguing with a confused person is even more confused. If you don't hit him, who will you hit
与聪明人打交道是“如沐春风”,与糊涂人打交道却是“遇事生风”。
Dealing with smart people is like basking in a spring breeze, but dealing with confused people is like encountering a storm.
我们无法说服一个糊涂的人,就像我们永远叫不醒一个装睡的人。
We cannot convince a confused person, just like we can never wake up a person pretending to be asleep.
糊涂人的道理区别于哲学上的诡辩论。
The reasoning of a confused person is different from philosophical sophistry.
诡辩论者会用一些理论去证实自己具有欺骗性的观点,这也是在辩论赛中经常被辩手使用的辩论方法。
Sophisticated debaters will use theories to prove their deceptive views, which is also a common debate method used by debaters in debate competitions.
而糊涂的人,根本就懒得证实自己的观点,他们的言论中大多充斥着“就是”“本来”“就这样”。
And confused people are simply too lazy to prove their views, and most of their remarks are filled with "just", "originally", and "just like this".
糊涂的人有着自己的糊涂道理,在他们的世界里,那些糊涂道理就是真理。
Confused people have their own confused truths, and in their world, those confused truths are the truth.
不争辩,省下的是时间,愉悦的是心情。
Don't argue, what's saved is time, and what's enjoyable is the mood.
