译文：做好事就会被人传遍百世，做坏事就会被人憎恶万年。赏析：人做好事自然就有美名被传颂，人做坏事自然就会受人谴责。人做好事不仅给自己积德，更是给子孙后代积福；人做坏事不仅玷污自己的名节，更会伤害到子孙后代。
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
History is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake.
