I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashions
I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashions. ----- Hellman
我不能、也不愿毁灭我的良心去迎合时尚。----赫尔曼
conscience means the awareness of a moral or ethical aspect to one''s conduct together with the urge to prefer right over wrong,良心就是对鞭策人行善而非作恶的本能行为在伦理或道德上的意识。例如:Let your conscience be your guide.让你的良心指引你。His conscience troubled him after he took the money.他拿了钱以后,他的良心使他不安。我们常说的凭良心就是according to one''s conscience,问心无愧是have a clear [good] conscience.
关于这个词,有如下习惯用语:
A good conscience is a constant feast. (=A good conscience is a soft pillow.)
问心无愧,高枕无忧。
A guilty conscience is a self-accuser. (=A guilty conscience needs no accuser.)
做贼心虚。
A quiet conscience sleeps in thunder. 没做亏心事,不怕鬼叫门。
get sth. off one''s conscience 解除良心上的负担
have the conscience (to do; to say sth.) 竟厚颜无耻到(做、说...)
in all conscience 凭良心说,真的,的确,一定
make sth. a matter of conscience 凭良心对待[做]某事
另外在口语中,我们可以说My conscience!这表示啊呀!嗳!好家伙!(表示惊奇,遗憾等)的意思。
这句格言,其实说的就是一种坚韧不屈的性格。 |
