§85 妇女患眼痛喻

(85) the woman who had sore eyes

昔有一女人，极患眼痛。有知识女人问言：“汝眼痛耶？”答言：“眼痛。”彼女复言：“有眼必痛。我虽未痛，并欲挑眼，恐其后痛。”

once upon a time, there was a woman who had a bad case of sore eyes. another woman told her, "where there are eyes, there are some times pains. although my eyes do not ache now, i want to gouge them out so that they will not ache later."

旁人语言：“眼若在者，或痛不痛。眼若无者，终身长痛。”

a bystander said, "though it's true that when you have your eyes, they may sometimes ache to disturb you, yet when you don't have them, you'll be sure to suffer for lifetime."

凡愚之人，亦复如是。闻富贵者衰患之本，畏不布施，恐后得报，财物殷溢，重受苦恼。有人语言：“汝若施者，或苦或乐；若不施者，贫穷大苦。”如彼女人，不忍近痛，便欲去眼，乃为长痛。
