"为文而欲一世之人好,吾悲其为文。 为人而欲一世之人好,吾悲其为人。"
写文章如果想让所有的人都说好, 我为他写的文章感到悲哀。 做人如果想让所有的人喜爱, 我为他的为人感到悲哀。
意思是,写文章要写对的文章,为人要做正确的事,不是所有人都喜欢的事。
Translation: 'As an author, If you want everyone like what you write, then I will feel regret about his article.
As a human being, if you want everyone like you, then I will feel sad about you.'
Meaning: Writing and doing what is right, not what people like.
