稳当 ① 话,却是平常话,所以听稳当话者不多;本分 ② 人,即是快活人,无奈做本分人者甚少。
① 稳当:稳妥贴切。
② 本分:安分守己。
妥帖的话也即平常的话,所以听得进妥帖话的人不多。
本分的人也即快乐的人,只可惜愿做本分人的人太少。
Proper words are what called ordinary words; that’s why those who are unwilling to pay heed to them are many.
Dutiful persons are what called happy persons; but it’s a regret that those who are ready to stick to their duties are few.
