那为何还要把诚实看的这么重要呢?——既然我们能从不诚实的行为中获益。
Because it’s selfish behaviour – which other members of our social group won’t like.If everybody acted selfishly and dishonestly all the time, the world would be a very unpleasant place! 
因为不诚实是一种自私的行为。其他的社会成员不会喜欢。如果所有人总是都自私不诚实,世界就会变得非常糟糕!
Selfish – meaning only caring about yourself and not about other people. That’s a good point, Rob.
Selfish,意思是只在乎自己,不关心他人。说得很好,罗布。
Yes, societies work better if people behave co-operatively – which means working together towards shared goals.
是的。如果人们配合得好,科学家的工作就变得轻松一些,co-operatively意思是为了共同的目标而一起工作。
So honesty really is the best policy then – at least most of the time!
所以诚实真的是做人之本,至少大部分时间是!
And now it’s time for the answer to the quiz. Who said ‘honesty is the best policy’?
又到了揭晓测验答案的时候了。是谁说“诚实是做人之本”的呢?
What do you think, Rob?
罗布,你觉得的呢?
OK. Was it Benjamin Franklin?
是本杰明·富兰克林么?
And that was… the right answer! Maybe the question was too easy!Benjamin Franklin wrote it in a book of proverbs called Poor Richard’s Almanac between 1732 and 1758.
答案……正确!也许这个问题有点太简单了!本杰明·富兰克林曾将这句话写进一本箴言集中,名字叫做《穷人理查德年鉴》,写于1732年到1758年间。
Other famous quotes include ‘There are no gains without pains‘ and ‘Have you something to do tomorrow? Do it today.‘OK let’s follow Franklin’s wise words and move right ahead with the vocabulary items we learned today.
里面还有其他著名的格言,比如“一分耕耘一分收获”,“明天要做的事,最好今天就做了”。好啦,让我们伴着富兰克林的名言,一起进入下一个环节,看看今天要学的新单词。
First up was the adjective honest – meaning truthful and not trying to cheat people – For example, ’Neil has a very honest face’.OK, then there’s … um …. honesty and honestly… the noun and adverb forms. For example, erm…
首先是形容词honest,意思是真诚的,不试图欺骗别人。比如,“尼尔有一张诚实的脸。”然后是名词honesty和副词honestly。举个例子,嗯……
Honestly, Rob, hurry up and do the second item!
好了,老实说罗布,速度点讲下一个词!
OK, OK, I’m getting there! To cheat – means to behave dishonestly to get what you want.
好的好的,下一个!To cheat(欺骗)——意思就是常常喜欢作弊。为达到目的做出不诚实的举动。
My granny always used to cheat in card games. It was so annoying!
我奶奶以前打牌就喜欢作弊,真让人伤脑筋!
And I always used to cheat in spelling tests at school!
我以前上学时常常在拼写考试中作弊!
How dishonest, Rob! OK, number three. Consumer – a person who buys goods or services for their own personal use.
罗布你太不诚实了!好了,看第三个词——consumer消费者,是购买个人所用商品或服务的人。
For example, ’I am a big consumer of chocolate bars’.
举例,“我是一个巧克力消费大户。”
That’s terrible English, Rob! How about – ’We asked UK consumers how much money they spent on food every month’?
罗布!这个句子可不太好!这个怎么样——“我们询问英国消费者他们每月在食物上花费多少钱。”
OK, I agree that’s a better example. Anyway, I never consume chocolate. Right, Number four!
好吧,你的例子的确比我好。不管怎么样,我从来不吃巧克力。第四个!
Psychological make up – the way our minds work. The way we think.
Psychological make up心理素质——我们思维运作的方式,我们思考问题的方式。
For example, ’He had the psychological make up of a serial killer…’
比如说,“他拥有连环杀人犯一般的心理素质……”
That’s nasty! Moving on – selfish – caring only about yourself and not other people.
咦,真不好!继续——selfish自私的——只在乎自己不关心别人。
You only made yourself a cup of tea – that was a selfish thing to do!
你只给自己到了一杯茶,真自私!
What???
啥???
It was just an example. You’re not selfish, Neil. You’re actually the most co-operative person I know – you’re happy to work with others towards a common goal.
只是举个例子而已。你一点儿也不自私,尼尔。你是我认识的最配合的搭档。你总是很开心和别人为共同的目标而努力工作。
Not selfish then?
那我不是个自私的人了?
Never selfish. Always co-operative… And honest too.
从来都不是。总是很配合,而且还很诚实。
Great. Now, I honestly recommend that listeners visit our Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube pages.
太好了。现在我要诚实地向听众们推荐我们的Facebook,Twitter,Instagram,以及Youtube主页。
