Every man carries Two Bags about with him, one in front and one behind, and both are packed full of faults. The Bag in front contains his neighbours faults, the one behind his own. Hence it is that men do not see their own faults, but never fail to see those of others.
每个人生来都带着两个口袋，一个在前，一个在后，两个口袋里都满载缺点。前面那只口袋里装的是别人的缺点，而后面那只口袋里则装满的是自己的缺点。因此，人们总是看不见自己的缺点，却永远也不会忽视去看别人的缺点。
