原文中文
一天中最可怕的是无所事事,一年中最可恨的是无所追求,一生中最可悲的是无所作为。今日付出一分努力,可换取明日十分安乐;今日透支一分安乐,则换取明日十分饥寒。
该句使用因果结构表达努力与未来结果之间的关系。
The most terrifying thing in a day is to be idle; the most hateful thing in a year is to have no pursuit; and the most tragic thing in a lifetime is to achieve nothing. A bit of effort today can yield much peace tomorrow; however, indulging in comfort today will lead to great hardship tomorrow.
