A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
道德
Morality
All I can hope to do is instill great morality in my son and trust him along the way. The music he listens to or how he chooses to wear his hair doesn't define his moral compass, and if he wants to listen to country music and wear a cowboy hat too, that's fine.
我所能做的就是给我的儿子灌输伟大的道德观念，并且一路信任他。他所听的音乐或他选择的发型并不能定义他的道德准则，如果他想听乡村音乐并戴上牛仔帽，也没关系。
Morality must relate, at some level, to the well-being of conscious creatures. If there are more and less effective ways for us to seek happiness and to avoid misery in this world - and there clearly are - then there are right and wrong answers to questions of morality.
道德必须在某种程度上与有意识的生物的幸福联系起来。如果我们在这个世界上有更多或更少有效的方法来寻求幸福和避免痛苦——显然有——那么道德问题就有正确和错误的答案。
I'm not a good father and they're not children any more; the eldest is in his fifties. My relationship with their mothers broke down and, because of what the law was, they went with their mothers and were imbued with their mothers' morality in life and they were not my people any more.
我不是一个好父亲，他们也不再是孩子了;老大五十多岁了。我与他们母亲的关系破裂了，因为律法的缘故，他们与母亲同去，在生活中充满了母亲的道德，他们就不再是我的子民了。
We should reserve the notion of 'morality' for the ways in which we can affect one another's experience for better or worse. Some people use the term 'morality' differently, of course, but I think we have a scientific responsibility to focus the conversation so as to make it most useful.
我们应该保留“道德”的概念，以使我们能够以何种方式影响彼此的经历，无论好坏。当然，有些人使用“道德”一词的方式不同，但我认为，我们有科学责任集中讨论，使其最有用。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I believe that a long step toward public morality will have been taken when sins are called by their right names.
我相信，当罪恶得到应有的报应时，就已经向公共道德迈出了一大步。
There's always the hyena of morality at the garden gate, and the real wolf at the end of the street.
在花园门口总是有道德的土狼，在街道的尽头总是有真正的狼。
Those who forget good and evil and seek only to know the facts are more likely to achieve good than those who view the world through the distorting medium of their own desires.
那些忘记善与恶，只想知道事实的人比那些通过扭曲自己欲望的媒介来看待世界的人更有可能获得善。
I think the greater responsibility, in terms of morality, is where leadership begins.
我认为更大的责任，在道德方面，是领导的开始。
He that walketh with the virtuous is one of them.
和有德之人同行的，也是这样。
Observe decorum, and it will open a path to morality.
遵守礼仪，它将开启一条通向道德的道路。
