First consider the ways in which loyalty, if exercised in proper measure and direction, can be a positive force. Relationships between spouses and other exclusive pairs require some degree of trust in order to endure; and loyalty is part-and-parcel of that trust. Similarly, employment relationships depend on some measure of mutual loyalty, without which job attrition would run so rampant that societys economic productivity would virtually come to a halt. And, without some mutual loyalty between a sovereign state and its citizenry there can be no security or safety from either revolt or invasion. The world would quickly devolve into anarchy or into a despotic state ordered by brute force.
本段译文:首先我们要考虑忠诚的方式。如果尺度和方向正确,那么忠诚就是积极力量。配偶以及其他排外性关系需要一定程度的信任才能持久。忠诚是信任的重要组成部分。同样,雇佣关系也需要一定程度的相互忠诚,否则会摩擦不断,以至经济停滞。并且,如果主权国家和人民之间没有相互忠诚那么就会有叛乱或入侵。那时安定将不复存在。世界也会迅速沦为残暴势力下的无政府或专制状态。
