A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
道德
Ethics
We see things like reciprocity which are fairly central to our view of ethics. But if you're talking about a set of worked-out rules on what we are supposed to do then, yes, it is a human product.
我们看到像互惠这样的东西，这是我们道德观的核心。但如果你谈论的是一套关于我们应该做什么的规则，那么，是的，它是一种人类产品。
I can do no other than be reverent before everything that is called life. I can do no other than to have compassion for all that is called life. That is the beginning and the foundation of all ethics.
在一切叫做生命的事物面前，我只能肃然起敬。我唯一能做的就是对所有被称为生命的东西怀有同情。这是所有道德的开端和基础。
What would our world be like if we ceased to worry about "right" and "wrong," or "good" and "evil," and simply acted so as to maximize well-being, our own and that of others? Would we lose anything important?
如果我们不再担心“对”和“错”，或“善”和“恶”，而只是为了最大限度地增进我们自己和他人的福祉而行动，我们的世界会变成什么样子?我们会失去什么重要的东西吗?
We ought always to deal justly, not only with those who are just to us, but likewise to those who endeavor to injure us; and this, for fear lest by rendering them evil for evil, we should fall into the same vice.
我们不仅应该公正地对待那些对我们公正的人，而且应该公正地对待那些试图伤害我们的人;我们也要这样行，恐怕他们以恶报恶，我们就和他们一样有恶报。
If people knew of ethics violations, they should have sent them to the Ethics Committee. If you think there was serious ethics violation that ought to be looked at, you don't hold it back for retaliatory purposes.
如果人们知道违反道德，他们应该把他们送到道德委员会。如果你认为有严重的违反道德的行为应该被调查，你不会为了报复而隐瞒。
Reason guides our attempt to understand the world about us. Both reason and compassion guide our efforts to apply that knowledge ethically, to understand other people, and have ethical relationships with other people.
理性引导我们试图了解周围的世界。理性和同情心都引导我们努力将知识运用到道德上，去理解他人，并与他人建立道德关系。
To act without rapacity, to use knowledge with wisdom, to respect interdependence, to operate without hubris and greed are not simply moral imperatives. They are an accurate scientific description of the means of survival.
不贪婪地行动，智慧地运用知识，尊重相互依存，不傲慢和贪婪地行动，这些不仅仅是道德上的要求。它们是对生存手段的准确的科学描述。
Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living. We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount.
我们的世界充满了核巨人和道德婴儿。我们对战争的了解多于对和平的了解，对杀戮的了解多于对生活的了解。我们掌握了原子的奥秘，拒绝了登山宝训。
When people come to you for help, do not turn them off with pious words, saying, "Have faith and take your troubles to God." Act instead as though there were no God, as though there were only one person in the world who could help -- only yourself.
当人们向你寻求帮助时，不要用虔诚的话语来拒绝他们，说:“要有信心，把你的烦恼带到上帝那里去。”相反，要像没有上帝一样行动，就像世界上只有一个人能帮助你——只有你自己。
In a situation where many national leaders do the same thing and look out for national interests, and with an issue like global warming, you're likely to get no solution, so I think you have to have some kind of ethical trump on some of those issues.
在很多国家领导人都在做同样的事情，为国家利益着想的情况下，在全球变暖这样的问题上，你很可能得不到解决方案，所以我认为你必须在这些问题上有某种道德上的特朗普。
All my growth and development led me to believe that if you really do the right thing, and if you play by the rules, and if you've got good enough, solid judgment and common sense, that you're going to be able to do whatever you want to do with your life.
我所有的增长和发展让我相信,如果你真的做正确的事,如果你遵守规则,如果你有足够好的,可靠的判断和常识,你能做任何你想做的你的生活。
The world is well supplied with rude people spouting high moral positions about human rights, but it is noticeably lacking in those who worry about the human being waiting in line behind them at the automated-teller machine while they balance their heckbooks.
世界上到处都是粗鲁无礼的人，他们滔滔不绝地高谈阔论人权问题的道德立场，但那些担心自己身后的人在自动柜员机前排队，而自己却在权衡利弊的人却明显寥寥无几。
