智慧書（中英雙語） · 250．何時把他人的話反過來聽

250．何時把他人的話反過來聽 何時把他人的話反過來聽？就是在他們散布流言之時。對於某些人來說，所有事情都是顛倒的：他們說「是」就是「不」，他們說「不」就是「是」。如果他們批評某物，其實就是對該物作了最高評價。他們想得到某些東西，就對別人貶低那些東西。讚揚某物也不一定就是說它好——有些人為了避免表揚好的，就去表揚壞的。有的人覺得什麼都好，其實說明他覺得什麼都不好。 250．When to change the conversation When to change the conversation? When they talk scandal. With some all goes contrariwise: their No is Yes, and their Yes No. If they speak ill of a thing it is the highest praise. For what they want for themselves they depreciate to others. To praise a thing is not always to speak well of it, for some, to avoid praising what's good, praise what's bad, and nothing is good for him for whom nothing is bad.
