双语智慧书·众人喜欢之物，个人不要谴责
270．众人喜欢之物，个人不要谴责
众人喜欢之物，个人不要谴责。能取悦大众的事物，必有其可取之处--即使难以解释原因，也不防碍它受到欢迎。特立独行，总是遭人憎恨，如果还理亏，就会被当成笑柄。你伤害不到你谴责的东西，只能破坏人们对你的品味的尊敬，而遗弃你这个人和你的品味。如果你不能发现事物中好的方面，就掩藏好你的愚蠢，不要随便谴责。一般来说，品味低下总是源于无知。众人所说，就是如此，要么将是如此。
270．Do not condemn alone that which pleases all
Do not condemn alone that which pleases all. There must be something good in a thing that pleases so many; even if it cannot be explained it is certainly enjoyed. Singularity is always hated, and, when in the wrong, laughed at. You simply destroy respect for your taste rather than do harm to the object of your blame, and are left alone, you and your bad taste. If you cannot find the good in a thing, hide your incapacity and do not damn it straightway. As a general rule bad taste springs from want of knowledge. What all say, is so, or will be so.
