和言　林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體

用詞犀利趨極端，威勢凌逼惹磨擦；
淡語和言鋒芒隱，大智若愚修藏拙。

跋　　　　　　　　　　

用詞趨極端，鋒芒逼四方。反感屢招惹，阻障暗叢生。精力良保惜，事端免輕啟。和言常淡語，忍讓共安寧。

Harmonious Speech

Yutang Lin

Sharp and extreme expressions tend to polarize situations;
Powerful oppression could provoke conflicts and frictions.
Plain words and harmonious speeches carried thorns none;
In acting like a dumb lies the wisdom of avoiding incidents.

Comments:

Expressions used gone extreme; thorny to all sides. Animosity frequently incurred; hindrances unnoticeably grown in abundance. Energy and strength should be well treasured and preserved; incidents could be avoided to have risen lightly. Harmonious speech constantly employs plain words; through patience and tolerance all may share peace and quietude.
