3. 市恩不如报德要誉不如逃名
3. Anticipating return is no better than repaying kindness; asking for glory is no better than eluding fame.

市恩 ^① 不如报德之为厚，要誉不如逃名之为适，矫情不如直节之为真。

① 市恩：市，交易；买卖；有所图。市恩意指为求得某种利益或回报而施恩于人。

施恩图报不如以德报恩来得厚道。

索要荣誉不如回避名声来得适宜。

做事矫情不如为人直率来得实诚。

To anticipate return while doing good is not as good as to requite others’kindness with gratitude.

To ask for glory is not as desirable as to elude fame.

To be pretentious is not as earnest as to be forthright.
