If you want your judgment to stand the test of scrutiny by others, avoid all exaggeration.
如果你想讓你的判斷經(jīng)得起別人的推敲,就要避免夸張瘟斜。
When you cannot be certain your judgment is accurate, you should tend to err on the side of understatement rather than overstatement.
當(dāng)你不能確定你的判斷是否準(zhǔn)確時(shí)缸夹,你應(yīng)該傾向于輕描淡寫而不是夸大其詞痪寻;In other words, you shoud argue the more modest interpretation, the less extreme conclusion.
換句話說,你應(yīng)該論證更溫和的解釋虽惭,不那么極端的結(jié)論橡类;That way, if you are wrong as every human will sometimes be you will at least have the saving grance of having demonstranted a sense of control and restraint.
這樣的話,如果你像每個(gè)人有時(shí)會(huì)錯(cuò)的那樣芽唇,你至少能表現(xiàn)出控制和克制的風(fēng)度顾画。
