判斷準確。有些人天生聰慧,憑借這一天生的優(yōu)勢,在學習之初,他們就已成功了一半。年紀愈長,經(jīng)驗日豐,他們的判斷力也會變得十分敏捷和準確。
他們厭惡一切可能偏離審慎的奇想怪念,尤其是國家大事,因為國家大事十分重要,講求萬無一失。這種人可以站在國家的舵輪旁邊,或者是領航員,或者是舵手。

60.A sound judgment
?A sound judgment. Some are born wise, and with this natural advantage enter upon their studies, with a moiety already mastered. With age and experience their reason ripens, and thus they attain a sound judgment. They abhor everything whimsical as leading prudence astray, especially in matters of state, where certainty is so necessary, owing to the importance of the affairs involved. Such men deserve to stand by the helm of state either as pilots or as men at the wheel.
