Think Before You Leap!
Inthe 21st century, the information technology has become extremely advanced andwe receive large amounts of information everyday, which cannot be distinguishedas true or false. Living in such an age of information explosion, we shouldinsist on the principles contained in the proverb “think before you leap” andreconsider the things seen or heard before we hurry to make conclusions.
There is much misleading information today.For example, it was reported several days ago that doctors in the operatingroom took photos with big smiles on their faces and behind them was a patientlying in the sickbed, making the public perceive all of them neglected theirduties. However, instantly another report appeared and showed the reason of thedoctors’ taking the photo was that they had succeeded in performing theoperation on the patient lying in the sickbed. Then all the condemnation of thepublic stopped and some people began to praise them. What a dramatic thing!
Inthe information age, confronted with various kinds of information, we shouldnot trust whatever we have seen or heard, or we would become blind and unwise.All of us should develop the ability to judge right from wrong.

三思而后行!
在21世纪, 信息技术已经相当发达, 我们每天都要接收大量的无法辨别对错的信息。生活在这样一个信息大爆炸的时代, 我们应该坚持谚语“三思而后行”中的原则, 在匆忙做决定之前一定要再次思考我们看到或听到的事情。
如今有很多会误导我们的信息。例如, 几天前, 有新闻报道医生集体在手术室嬉笑着合影, 而在他们的身后是仍躺在病床上的病人, 这使得大众认为这些医生玩忽职守。然而, 很快另一篇报道出现了, 并且表明医生合照的原因是给躺在病床上的病人做的手术圆满成功。紧接着, 所有的谴责声都消失了, 一些人开始赞扬这些医生。多么戏剧性的一件事情啊!
在信息时代, 我们总会面对各种各样的信息, 我们不能相信我们看到或听到的一切, 否则我们会变得盲目且不理智。我们都应该发展自己判断对错的能力。

Do Not Put All Your Eggs in One Basket!
There is an old saying: “Do not put all youreggs in one basket.” Different people have different opinions on this issue.The supporters think that such practice as putting eggs in more than one basketreduces the loss caused by failure, while the opponents regard this asimpenetrable since it disperses one’s energy which would definitely lower thechance of success. As far as I’m concerned, it is unwise to put all your eggsin one basket.
Recently, the stock market has beenexperiencing a period of downturn and many stock investors are brokenheartedsince most of them have devoted almost all of their money in stock investmentand now the loss of their stock means the sharp decrease of their property.However, those who invest in not only the stock market but also many otherfields, such as the real estate, catering, tourism, etc., need not stare at thestock chart every second and they can make up for their economic damage fromthese investment.
Fromthe example of the investment in stock markets, it is not difficult to seewhich choice is better. So, you should put all your eggs in more than onebasket.

不要把所有的鸡蛋都放在一个篮子里!
有一句俗语：“不要把所有的鸡蛋都放在一个篮子里。”对于这句俗语, 不同的人有不同的看法。支持者认为不把所有的鸡蛋放在一个篮子里的做法减少了失败带来的损失, 然而反对者则对于这样的做法感到无法理解, 因为他们认为这分散了一个人的精力以至于减少了成功的几率。在我看来, 把所有鸡蛋放在一个篮子里的做法是不明智的。
最近, 股市处于低迷期, 许多持股者因为把所有的钱都投在股市而感到很痛心, 因为股票的亏损意味着他们财产的大幅度减少。然而,对那些不仅投资股市也投资很多其他领域, 例如房地产、餐饮、旅游等的人来说, 他们不需要每分每秒盯着股票走势图, 因为他们可以从这些投资中弥补自己在股市的亏损。
从股市投资的例子, 我们不难看出哪种选择更好一些。因此, 应该把所有的鸡蛋放在两个或两个以上的篮子里。

Do Not Judge a Person by Their Appearance!
As aman cannot be known by his looks, neither can the sea be fathomed by a gourd,which is a truth that we have been taught since we were children. However, somepeople argue that the appearance is the inner reflection of a person, so it isconvincing to judge a person by their appearance. Is it really true？
Ihave to say that the appearance includes one’s physiognomy, speech anddeportment, and even hairstyle and dressing, most of which can be changedaccording to different situations. A so-called bad guy can pretend to begracious and solicitous when it concerns his benefit, such as a traitor of acountry who sells state secrets to other countries. A good guy can behave crueland iron-hearted when it is necessary so as to protect people besides him, justlike an undercover from the police among the gangsters. I promise that thefirst time people see the two guys, they cannot distinguish the true identityof them, not to mention judge them as good or bad accurately.
Above all, I don’t think it is wise to judgepeople by their appearance, for it can be disguised and people would alwaysmake mistakes if they follow this principle. People should observe others withtheir hearts.

不要以貌取人!
凡人不可貌相, 海水不可斗量, 这是我们从小就知道的真理。然而, 一些人争辩说外貌是一个人内心的反映, 因此以貌取人是可信的。真的是这样吗？
我不得不说外貌包括人的面相、言谈举止, 甚至是发型和穿着, 这些中的很多方面都可以根据不同的情况而进行改变。一个所谓的坏人在涉及他的利益问题时, 可以假装很和蔼、热心, 例如一个出卖国家机密的叛徒。一个好人也会为了保护身边的人而表现得很残暴而且铁石心肠, 正如一个在黑帮中的警察卧底。我保证, 对于这两个人来说, 任何初次见他们的人都识别不出他们的身份, 更不用说准确地判断他们的好坏了。
总之, 我认为以貌取人不够理智, 因为外貌可以伪装, 而人们如果依据这样的原则去判断的话, 是会经常出错的。人们应该用心去观察他人。
