There is an English proverb which says (saying) “Honesty is the best policy.” It signifies the importance of honesty.
　　What are the benefits of honesty? If you are honest to others, they will be honest to you in return. When you are sad, they will comfort you. When you are in trouble, they will help you.
　　There is no enumerating the evils of dishonesty here. In a word, a dishonest man will be looked down upon by others and (be) regarded as a public enemy.
　　"誠為上策"譯文:
　　英國有一句諺語說“誠為上策”。它說明了誠的重要性。
　　誠的益處是什么?如果你對他人誠實,他們也會對你誠實作為報答。當(dāng)你憂悉的時候,他們會安慰你。當(dāng)你是處在困難中的時候,他們會幫助你。
　　無法在這里數(shù)述不誠實的害處。一言以蔽之,一個不誠實的人會被人看輕的而且被看作為一個公敵。
