Every man, according to an ancient legend, is born into the world with two bags suspended from his neck a bag in front full of his neighbors’ faults, and a large bag behind filled with his own faults. Hence it is that men are quick to see the faults of others, and yet are often blind to their own failings. 根据一个远古的传说，每个人生到这个世界时，脖子上就挂着两个包袱，前面的一个装满他邻居的缺点，后面的一个大包袱装着他自己的缺点。因此，人很容易看见别人的缺点，却常常不知自己的短处。
