"Which is?" he asked.
“要多少?”他问。
"Fifty million dollars." I said. "If they left fifty million with me and I thought I could get away scout free, I might take it."
“5000万美金。”我说。“如果他们把5000万给了我,我觉得我可以逃过检查然后拿走它。”
"Excellent," he said. "Now never sell out for a box of pens and a three hole punch. If fifty million dollars is your price, never steal a penny less."
“好,”他说。“现在开始,永远不要为了一盒笔或者一个三孔的打孔机而出卖了自己。如果你要的是5000万美金,那就一分都不能少。”
Five advice more.
另外的5条建议。
1) "If you stand on the shores of temptation, the devil will row you a boat." I attribute this sage advice to my grandmother, but it is likely from another source. Do not put yourself in situations to be tempted.
“如果你正站在诱惑湖畔旁,恶魔会给你提供一条船。”这是来自我圣人般的祖母的建议,但是听起来像是来自于别人。别让自己陷入诱惑的境地。
2) Each individual has strengths and weaknesses. Be smart enough to recognize not only your own strengths and weaknesses, but also the strengths and weaknesses of others.
每个人都有优势跟劣势。聪明一点,看清自己的和别人的优势跟劣势。
