1.对于你能透露的东西要坦诚。
Diplomats are known as "people who lie for their countries, " and corporations are often seen as equally deceitful. But in both cases, telling the truth is essential for success. Truth builds a solid reputation. It's the key to establishing long-term relationships that you can rely on in a crunch.
外交家们是那些“为了自己的国家而说谎的人”,公司也常常被认为同样具有欺骗性。但两者之间相同的是,说真话对于成功来说都是不可或缺的。真话能建立起稳定的声誉,这对于建立你能在危急时刻倚靠的长期稳定的关系是非常重要的。
When secrecy is essential, with an upcoming product launch or a private personnel issue, don't compromise honesty. You can keep secrets and still tell the truth. Just be honest about what you can and cannot say.
当你必须保密时,比如面对一个即将发行的产品或是私密的个人文件,不要违背诚实。你可以继续保守秘密,同时说些真话,你只要坦诚地说明什么是你可以说的,什么你不可以说。
n. 声誉,好名声
