請將下面這段話翻譯成英文:
誠實就是說老實話,辦老實事,做老實人。誠實在任何地方都是倍受仰慕的美德,而不誠實卻遭人們唾棄和譴責(zé)。
正如諺語所說,誠實是上策。如果你想被朋友信任、尊敬、你就得誠實。一個撒謊的人總被旁人看低和提防。的確,各行各業(yè)也都意識到誠信的重要性。比如,商人的誠實是否買賣公平,一個醫(yī)生的誠實就是他置人道主義高于一切的天職;就大學(xué)生而言,誠實意味著既追求學(xué)業(yè)的真實又要追求道德修養(yǎng)的真實。以當(dāng)今的社會標(biāo)準(zhǔn)來衡量,一位純潔正直的畢業(yè)生要比一個腦子好但品行膚淺的畢業(yè)生對社會更有用。
在我看來,誠實的人固然值得贊揚,但最重要的是從我們身邊的事做起,無論此事是大是小,同時,我們自己也應(yīng)提高自身素質(zhì),只有一個人的能力得到全面的提高,這個人才會是一個誠信之人。
參考譯文
Honesty means speaking the truth and being fair and upright in act. It is regarded as the most important virtue admired everywhere, while dishonesty is generally despised and condemned as an evil.
As the proverb goes, honesty is the best policy. If you want to be trusted and respected by your friends, you must be honest. A liar is always looked down upon and avoided by the people around him. Definitely, all trades and professions also realize the importance of honesty. For instance, a businessman’s honesty lies in whether he plays fair in all of his dealings. Honesty in a doctor is his bounden duty to put humanitarianism above everything else. As far as a college student is concerned, honesty means seeking as much truth from his moral development as from his academic success. By social standards of today, an honesty-to-goodness graduate is of more value to society than the one who is long on brains but short on morality.
In my eyes, honest people deserve praising admittedly, what the most important thing we can do is to do everything, be it small or big, from ourselves. At the same time, we, ourselves, should enhance personal quality, only if a man’s all-round ability has been improved, can be a man of trust one.
