今日经典

I have always believed that the man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without.

 昨日重现

汉译英：

In the affairs of life or of business, it is not intellect that tells so much as character, not brains so much as heart, not genius so much as self-control, patience, and discipline, regulated by judgement.

参考译文：

在人生或事业各项事务上，聪明才智比不上品德，头脑好比不上心灵好，天赋比不上判断力规范下的自制、耐心与纪律。

今日讲解

1. 词汇

genius  天才，天赋

discipline 纪律

patience 耐心

2. tell在此处不是“告诉”之意，相当于show，“展示、显示”。

3. not intellect that tells so much as character = intellect does not show so much as character;

这个句子结构稍显复杂，但是换个说法就比较容易看懂了。
