雙語智慧書·不要認同最新的說法

248．不要認同最新的說法
　　不要認同最新的說法。有些人跟著最新的說法走，結(jié)果走向了荒謬的極端。他們的情感和愿望是用蠟制成的--最后到的人用圖章在上面蓋上印，把以前的印跡都抹掉。這種人永遠不會得到任何東西，因為他們把一切丟得太快。每個人都可用自己的染料給他們?nèi)旧?。讓他們成為知己沒有任何好處，這些人一輩子都長不大。因為情感和意志變化無常，他們跌跌撞撞，思想和愿望都像跛了腳一樣，在路上搖搖晃晃。


248．Do not go with the last speaker
　Do not go with the last speaker. There are persons who go by the latest edition, and thereby go to irrational extremes. Their feelings and desires are made of wax: the last comer stamps them with his seal and obliterates all previous impressions. These never gain anything, for they lose everything so soon. Everyone dyes them with his own colour. They are of no use as confidants; they remain children their whole life. Owing to this instability of feeling and volition, they stumble along, crippled in will and thought, and tottering from one side of the road to the other.
