译文：一个人做了坏事而怕别人知道，这种人还保留了一些羞耻之心，也就是在恶性之中还保留一点改过向善的良知;一个人做了一 点善事就急着让人知道，证明他行善只是为了贪图虚名和赞誉，这种有目的才做善事的人，在他做善事时已经种下了恶根。

《菜根谭》(阴恶恶大,显善善小)

为恶而畏人知，恶中尤有善路；为善而急人知，善处即是恶根。

If a man does a bad thing and fears that others will find out, it shows that, despite his wickedness, he still has a conscience. If a man does a good deed and is anxious for others to know about it, it shows that in the midst of his benevolence lurks a tendency to evil.
