【原文】任之重者莫如身，涂之畏者莫如口，期而远者莫如年。以重任行畏涂至远期。唯君子乃能矣。《戒》

【汉解】负担重莫如身体，经历险莫如口舌，时间长莫如年代。负重任，行险路，长期坚持，唯君子才能做到。

【英译】No responsibility is heavier than that of the self, nothing is more dangerous to the road ahead than the mouth, and no appointment lies beyond the end of one’s years. Only the virtuous prince is able to assume such a weighty responsibility in travelling  the dangerous road to his ultimate appointment.
