The devil finds work for the idle hands to do.
小人闲居会做坏事。/闲居无事者,恶魔找上门。
“An idle youth, a needy age,” so goes an old saying. If we idle and waste our time when we are young, one day when we are old, we will regret having achieved nothing. Moreover, when we are idle, we will be very vulnerable to the devil’s temptation and go astray. Indeed, we should always try to keep ourselves busy because the devil finds work for idle hands to do.
俗云:“少小不努力,老大徒伤悲。”我们年轻时若游手好闲虚掷光阴,老来就会后悔一事无成。而且,我们无所事事时,很容易被恶魔诱惑而误入歧途。的确,我们应始终保持忙碌,因为小人闲居会做坏事。
