塞内卡：塞内卡道德书简·摘录 57
塞内卡《塞内卡道德书简》· Seneca's Morals · 健康 · 投资 · 领导 · 学习
There are some creatures that confound their footing about their dens, that they may not be found out, and so should a wise man in the case of his retirement. When the door is open, the thief passes it by as not worth his while; but when it is bolted and sealed, it is a temptation for people to be prying. To have it said “that such a one is never out of his study, and sees nobody,” etc.; this furnishes matter for discourse. He that makes his retirement too strict and severe, does as good as call company to take notice of it.

白话
有些动物会在洞穴周围弄乱足迹，以免被发现；智者退隐时也应如此。门开着时，小偷路过会觉得不值得进去；但门闩上并贴了封条，反而会引诱人去窥探。如果人们说‘某某人从不离开书房，谁也不见’，这反而提供了谈资。一个人把退隐搞得过于严格和苛刻，就等于招引别人来注意它。所以，退隐不必刻意神秘或极端，自然低调就好，否则反而会引来不必要的关注和议论。
上下文
塞内加在讨论退隐时，用动物混淆足迹的比喻说明智者应如何低调处理自己的隐居生活。
