若所有的善良人都聪明, 而所有的聪明人都善良, 这个世界 应该比现在强。
但莫明其妙, 二者总是背道独往; 不是善良苛责聪明, 就是聪明无礼善良。
------ (英)威廉.华兹华斯
Good and Clever
If all the good people were clever, And all clever people were good, The world be nicer than ever We thought it possibly could.
But somehow, 'tis seldom or never The two hit it off as they should; The good are so harsh to the clever, The clever so rude to the good.
------William Wordsworth (英) (1770-1850)
