出自晋·葛洪《抱朴子·应嘲》。虽说昆山的玉石很多,但不能救济原宪的贫穷。喻指毫无价值的空话。
Given the choice between the experience of pain and nothing, I would choose pain.
It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure to the world.
