白话:
水貌似不断流去,但它实际上不曾流去;月亮时圆时缺,但始终并无减损和增益。要是从变的角度去看,天地万物,无时不在变;若以不变的角度去看,万物和我皆无穷尽,故此,又羡慕些什么呢?
英译:
Water is always on the run like this, but never lost in its course; the moon always waxes and wanes like that, but never out of its sphere. When viewed from a changing perspective, nothing in this universe can remain unchanged, even within a blink of an eye, but when looked at from an unchanging perspective, everything conserves itself, and so do we. Therefore, what’s in them to be admired?
