笼中的野鸡
The Caged Chicken
山林中的野鸡求食不易，走十步才能找到一条虫。
Finding 1 food isn't easy for the wild pheasant, traveling ten steps before getting a single worm.
走一百步才找到一口水，但它仍不希望被关在笼子里。
And even though it has to walk a hundred paces for a drink of water, it still prefers this to being locked up in a cage.
因为，在笼子里虽然不愁吃喝，羽毛光亮，但精神上终不比在野外自由。
A caged chicken may have enough to eat and drink and it's feathers may be bright and shiny, but it will always crave 2 the freedom of being on the outside.
懂得养生的人，不会因为追求物欲的享受，而付出自由的代价。但在现实的社会里有几个人“头上便是青天”呢？
The person who understands self-cultivation would never pursue 3 material pleasures at the expense of freedom. Yet in today's society, how many truly carefree people do you see?
