HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY 誠(chéng)為上策

There is an English proverb which says (saying) “Honesty is the best policy.” It signifies the importance of honesty.

What are the benefits of honesty? If you are honest to others, they will be honest to you in return. When you are sad, they will comfort you. When you are in trouble, they will help you.

There is no enumerating the evils of dishonesty here. In a word, a dishonest man will be looked down upon by others and (be) regarded as a public enemy.

英國(guó)有一句諺語(yǔ)說(shuō)“誠(chéng)為上策”。它說(shuō)明了誠(chéng)的重要性。

誠(chéng)的益處是什么?如果你對(duì)他人誠(chéng)實(shí)，他們也會(huì)對(duì)你誠(chéng)實(shí)作為報(bào)答。當(dāng)你憂悉的時(shí)候，他們會(huì)安慰你。當(dāng)你是處在困難中的時(shí)候，他們會(huì)幫助你。

無(wú)法在這里數(shù)述不誠(chéng)實(shí)的害處。一言以蔽之，一個(gè)不誠(chéng)實(shí)的人會(huì)被人看輕的而且被看作為一個(gè)公敵。
