雙語智慧書·從不慌亂

52．從不慌亂
　　從不慌亂。絕不讓自己窘迫是審慎之人的一大目標(biāo)。這也是一個有著一顆高貴的心的真正的人的標(biāo)志，因為只有胸懷寬闊的人才不易情緒失衡。激情乃是內(nèi)心的玩笑，任何過度的激情都會削弱我們的謹慎。假如你任其流露，將有損你的名聲。因此，讓我們主宰自己，無論是一帆風(fēng)順還是舉步維艱，都不因任何事情失去自控而損害名聲。相反，要表現(xiàn)得泰然自若而增進我們的名聲。

52．Never be put out
　Never be put out. It is a great aim of prudence never to be embarrassed. It is the sign of a real man. of a noble heart, for magnanimity is not easily put off ballance. The passions are the humors of the soul, and every excess in them weakens prudence. If they overflow through the mouth, the reputation will be in danger. Let us therefore be so much and so great a master over ourselves that neither in the most fortunate nor in the most adverse circumstances can anything cause our reputation injury by disturbing our self-possession, but rather enhance it by showing his superiority.
