2017年大学英语四级翻译试题库：对于诚实的看法
来源 :中华考试网 2017-11-17
中请将下面这段话翻译成英文：
诚实就是说老实话，办老实事，做老实人。诚实在任何地方都是倍受仰慕的美德，而不诚实却遭人们唾弃和谴责。
正如谚语所说，诚实是上策。如果你想被朋友信任、尊敬、你就得诚实。一个撒谎的人总被旁人看低和提防。的确，各行各业也都意识到诚信的重要性。比如，商人的诚实是否买卖公平，一个医生的诚实就是他置人道主义高于一切的天职;就大学生而言，诚实意味着既追求学业的真实又要追求道德修养的真实。以当今的社会标准来衡量，一位纯洁正直的毕业生要比一个脑子好但品行肤浅的毕业生对社会更有用。
在我看来，诚实的人固然值得赞扬，但最重要的是从我们身边的事做起，无论此事是大是小，同时，我们自己也应提高自身素质，只有一个人的能力得到全面的提高，这个人才会是一个诚信之人。
参考译文
Honesty means speaking the truth and being fair and upright in act. It is regarded as the most important virtue admired everywhere, while dishonesty is generally despised and condemned as an evil.
As the proverb goes, honesty is the best policy. If you want to be trusted and respected by your friends, you must be honest. A liar is always looked down upon and avoided by the people around him. Definitely, all trades and professions also realize the importance of honesty. For instance, a businessman’s honesty lies in whether he plays fair in all of his dealings. Honesty in a doctor is his bounden duty to put humanitarianism above everything else. As far as a college student is concerned, honesty means seeking as much truth from his moral development as from his academic success. By social standards of today, an honesty-to-goodness graduate is of more value to society than the one who is long on brains but short on morality.
In my eyes, honest people deserve praising admittedly, what the most important thing we can do is to do everything, be it small or big, from ourselves. At the same time, we, ourselves, should enhance personal quality, only if a man’s all-round ability has been improved, can be a man of trust one.
