قسمت ۳۰: برگشت به خانه Episode 30 and LAST: Returning Home 🌇 

在高速行驶的火车上，有一位老人不小心把刚买的新鞋从窗口掉下去一只，周围的人都觉得很可惜。没想到老人把另一只鞋也从窗口扔了出去。他的行为让周围的人感到很吃惊。

这时候，老人笑着解释说：“剩下的那只鞋无论多么好，多么贵，多么适合我穿，可对我来说已经没有一点儿用处了。我把它扔了出去，就有人可能捡到一双鞋子，说不定他还可以穿呢?

这些词语您明白吗？

高速行驶gāosù xíngshǐ  high speed driving

可惜 kě xi  unfortunately; It's a pity...; It's too bad...

捡   jiǎn    pick up

On the high-speed train, an old man accidentally dropped one of his newly bought shoes from the window, which made everyone around feel very sorry. 
Unexpectedly, the old man threw another shoe out of the window. His behavior surprised the people around him. 
At this time, the old man explained with a smile, "the remaining shoe, no matter how good, how expensive, and how suitable for me, is of no use to me. If I throw it out, someone may pick up a pair of shoes, maybe he can still wear it!"

大家好，我是潘妮，欢迎来到古典智慧拾贝。在这里，我主要与大家分享中国古代的思想家的智慧。

今天这句话来自老子的《清静经》，是老子道家的智慧。

上士不争，下士好争。意思是有上等智慧的人，是没有争夺的心的，只有最下等最没有智慧的人，才一天到晚与人争夺。

我第一次看到这句话的时候，非常震撼。因为我们现代人，大部分都已经习惯了在各种场合与人争一个高低。不管是争夺有限的物质，还是在意见和他人不一样的时候争强好胜，都是古代圣贤最不会做的事情。老子不愧是圣人，只有不与人争，才能保持清静的心，保持一种自在和自由。这其实是传统中国文化的核心部分。

对此，你是怎么想的呢？谢谢你的收听，我们下次见。

Hello everyone, my name is Penny, welcome to this channel. In this channel, I will share with you wisdoms of Chinese thinkers and philosophers from the past.

Today's phrase comes from Lao Tzu, from the wisdom of Taoism. 

The highly respected men don’t argue and contest, the lowly respected men like to argue and contest. It means that people with superior wisdom do not compete or fight, and only least intelligent people compete with others all the time.

The first time I saw this sentence, it was a shock. Because most of us modern people have been used to competing with people on various occasions. Whether it is competing for limited material resources, or competing to win when opinions differ, these are the last things that ancient sages do. Only by not fighting with others can we maintain a quiet mind and keep our hearts truly free and at ease. This is actually a core part of traditional Chinese wisdom.

What do you think about this? Thanks for your listening and see you next time.
