What the Chinese lack is not intellectual ability. It is not patience,
practicality, nor cheerfulness, for in all these qualities they greatly
excel. What they do lack is Character and Conscience. Some Chinese
officials cannot be tempted by any bribe, and refuse to commit a wrong
that will never be found out, because "Heaven knows, earth knows, you
know, and I know." 中文翻译:
中国人并不缺乏智慧,也不缺乏耐心、现实性、快乐,这些方面他们都是杰出的。他们缺乏的是人格和良心。许多中国官员受不了贿赂的诱惑,就做了错事,还
以为永远不会被发现,因为“天知,地知,你知,我知。”
