【释义】：

埋没自己的才干；(喻)真人不露相；藏志于名山

Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour; wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of man.

Ye are the light of the world.A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Matt.5:13-16

“你们是世上的盐，盐若失了味，怎样叫他再咸呢?从此以后无甚用处，不过丢在外面，被人践踏了。

你们是世上的光；城造在山上，是不能隐藏的。

人点灯，不放在斗底下，是放在灯台上，就照亮一家的人。

你们的光也当这样照在人前，叫他们看见你们的好行为，便将荣耀归给你们在天上的父。”

《马太福音》5∶13－16］
