雙語智慧書·樂于幫助他人

226．樂于幫助他人
　　樂于幫助他人。許多人行事并非出于本性，而是因?yàn)槠炔坏靡?。讓人相信壞事很容易，因?yàn)閴氖氯菀鬃屓讼嘈?，盡管有時(shí)候讓人難以置信。我們?cè)俸?，也要依賴別人的看法。有些人以為自己有理就行，其實(shí)這遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不夠，道理還需力量的支持。施惠于人總是付出很少，收獲很多。你能用言語買到他人的行動(dòng)。世界就像所大房子，沒有哪間屋子偏僻得在一年中的任何一天都用不到，如果要用時(shí)，自然會(huì)想到它，無論它是多么的沒有價(jià)值。人們總是從自己的情感出發(fā)來談?wù)撌虑椤?br />

226．Take care to be obliging
　Take care to be obliging. Most talk and act, not as they are, but as they are obliged. To persuade people of ill is easy for any, since the ill is easily credited even when at times it is incredible. The best we have depends on the opinion of others. Some are satisfied if they have right on their side, but that is not enough, for it must be assisted by energy. To oblige persons often costs little and helps much. With words you may purchase deeds. In this great house of the world there is no chamber so hid that it may not be wanted one day in the year, and then you would miss it however little is its worth. Everyone speaks of a subject according to his feelings.
