Let no pleasure tempt thee, no profit
allure thee, no ambition corrupt thee, no example sway thee,, no
persuasion move thee, to do anything which thou knowest to be evil;
so shalt thou always live jollily: for a good conscience is a continual
Christmass.
别让快乐吸引你,别让利益诱惑你,别让野心腐蚀你,别让榜样支配你,别让劝说打动你,别让它们促使你去做自知是邪恶的事情;如此你将能愉快地生活:因为美好的良心是个永远的圣诞节。
Beware, beware! He,ll cheat, without scruple, who
can without fear.
当心,当心!行骗而无所畏惧者,也将无所顾虑。
