The five colors may confuse the eye.

The five sounds may deafen the ear.

The five tastes may spoil the palate.

Riding and hunting may madden the mind.

Rare goods may tempt one to do evil.

Therefore the sage satisfies the belly rather than the eye.

He prefers the former to the latter.

五色令人目盲，

五音令人耳聾，

五味令人口爽，

馳騁畋獵令人心發(fā)狂，

難得之貨令人行妨。

是以圣人為腹不為目，

故去彼取此。
