雙語智慧書·沒有瑕疵
23．沒有瑕疵
沒有瑕疵。這是完美所必要達(dá)到的境界。任何人都會(huì)有缺點(diǎn)，無論是身體上還是精神上。盡管很容易克服，人們卻聽之任之。杰出人士身上的缺陷，總會(huì)讓目光敏銳的人感到遺憾——要知道，一小片烏云便足以遮掩整個(gè)太陽的光輝。在我們的名譽(yù)方面，也有類似瑕疵，居心不良者一眼就能看到，且會(huì)不斷發(fā)難。最好的方法是把瑕疵當(dāng)作裝飾，所以愷撒曾用桂冠隱藏起自己禿頭的缺陷。
23．Be spotless
Be spotless: the indispensable condition of perfection. Few live without some weak point, either physical or moral, which they pamper because they could easily cure it. The keenness of others often regrets to see a slight defect attaching itself to a whole assembly of elevated qualities, and yet a single cloud can hide the whole of the sun. There are likewise patches on our reputation which ill-will soon finds out and is continually noticing. The highest skill is to transform them into ornament. So Caesar hid his natural defects with the laurel.
