A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
虚伪
Hypocrisy
People can't stand it when you deal with issues of race and class, and also sometimes the church, and you give a perspective that flushes out hypocrisy.
当你处理种族和阶级问题时,人们无法忍受,有时也会处理教会的问题,你给出的观点会冲淡虚伪。
The world is full of fools and faint hearts; and yet everyone has courage enough to bear the misfortunes, and wisdom enough to manage the affairs, of his neighbor.
世界上到处都是傻瓜和胆怯的人;然而,每个人都有足够的勇气去承受不幸,有足够的智慧去管理邻居的事务。
Why does the rest of the world put up with the hypocrisy, the need to put a happy face on sorrow, the need to keep on keeping on?... I don't know the answer, I know only that I can't
为什么世界上的其他人要忍受虚伪,需要把快乐的脸放在悲伤的脸上,需要不断地继续下去?我不知道答案,我只知道我不能
When we abolish the slavery of half of humanity, together with the whole system of hypocrisy it implies, then the "division" of humanity will reveal its genuine significance and the human couple will find its true form.
当我们废除了一半人类的奴隶制度,连同它所暗示的整个伪善体系,那么人类的“分裂”将揭示其真正的意义,人类夫妇将找到其真正的形式。
When we walk away from global warming, Kyoto, when we are irresponsibly slow in moving toward AIDS in Africa, when we don't advance and live up to our own rhetoric and standards, we set a terrible message of duplicity and hypocrisy.
当我们远离全球变暖,京都议定书,当我们不负责任地在向非洲艾滋病迈进的道路上行动迟缓,当我们不推进和实践我们自己的言论和标准时,我们发出了一个可怕的信息,那就是表里不一和伪善。
Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins. We parry and fend the approach of our fellow-man by compliments, by gossip, by amusements, by affairs. We cover up our thought from him under a hundred folds.
只有人是真诚的。当第二个人出现时,伪善就开始了。我们用赞美、闲言碎语、娱乐和风流韵事来搪塞和阻挡同胞的接近。我们用一百倍的篇幅向他掩饰我们的思想。
Rude contact with facts chased my visions and dreams quickly away, and in their stead I beheld the horrors, the corruption, the evils and hypocrisy of society, and as I stood among them, a young wife, a great wail of agony went out from my soul.

Honest discussions - even and perhaps especially on topics about which we disagree - can help us resist hypocrisy and arrogance. They can also help us live up to the basic ideals, such as liberty and justice for all, on which our country was founded.
诚实的讨论——甚至可能是关于我们不同意的话题——可以帮助我们抵制虚伪和傲慢。它们还可以帮助我们实现我们国家赖以建立的基本理想,如人人享有自由和正义。
What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one. Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core.
认为伪善是罪恶的罪恶是如此合情合理的原因在于,除了这一种罪恶外,其他所有罪恶的背后都隐藏着正直。的确,只有犯罪和罪犯才使我们面对极端邪恶的困惑;但是只有伪君子才真正腐败到极点。
