每日一译（139）

不得已而谀之者，宁以口，勿以笔；不可耐而骂之者，亦宁以口，勿以笔。——涨潮：《幽梦影》<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

If one has to praise someone, rather do it by word of mouth than by pen; if there are persons that must be castigated, also do it by word of mouth rather than in writing.
