双语智慧书·不要成为污点记录簿
125．不要成为污点记录簿
不要成为污点记录簿。关注别人的恶名，说明自己没有好名声。有些人惯于用别人的污点来掩盖自己的污点，以开脱自己，或者求得安慰--这只是愚蠢之人的自我安慰罢了。这种人构成了整个城镇谣言的暗沟，他们呼出的气味臭不可闻。一个人越是挖这种污垢，便越是溅得满身臭泥。人无完人。除非你默默无闻，缺点才会鲜为人知。当心成为别人污点的记录员--那种人令人讨厌，没有头脑。
125．Do not be a black list
Do not be a black list. It is a sign of having a tarnished name to concern oneself with the ill-fame of others. Some wish to hide their own stains with those of others, or at least wash them away; or they seek consolation therein-it is the consolation of fools. They must have bad breath who form the sewers of scandal for the whole town. The more one grubs about in such matters, the more one befouls oneself. There are few without stain somewhere or other, but it is of little known people that the failings are little known. Be careful then to avoid being a registrar of faults. That is to be an abominable thing, a man that lives without a heart.
