双语智慧书·学会装傻
240．学会装傻
学会装傻。最聪明的人有时也用此方法，有时候大智若愚。你不必真的那么傻，只是扮成傻瓜。在蠢人面前显得聪明，或在聪明人面前显得愚蠢，都没什么好处，你应该见什么人说什么话。假装傻瓜的人其实并不傻，为此受苦的人才叫傻。因为假装愚蠢十分聪明，它不是真正的愚蠢，地道的愚蠢才是。如果想得到众人的欢迎，就要披上一张最纯朴动物的皮。
240．Make use of folly
Make use of folly. The wisest play this card at times, and there are times when the greatest wisdom lies in seeming not to be wise. You need not be unwise, but merely affect unwisdom. To be wise with fools and foolish with the wise were of little use. Speak to each in his own language. He is no fool who affects folly, but he is who suffers from it. Ingenuous folly rather than the pretended is the true foolishness, since cleverness has arrived at such a pitch. To be well liked one must dress in the skin of the simplest of animals.
