Judge not, that ye be not judged.不要批评别人,以免被人批评。
这句来自《圣经·新约·马太福音》,原文是:“Judge not, that you may not be judged yourself; for as you judge so you will be judged, and the measures you deal out to others will be dealt out to yourselves.”类似意思的谚语有:
People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
居住玻璃屋的人不应向别人投掷石子。(自己有弱点,就不要去责难人家)
The eye that sees all things else sees not itself.
眼睛能看到其他所有东西,就是看不到自己。
He is not fit to command others that cannot command himself.
不能指挥自己的人,就不能指挥别人。(即“正人先正己”)《论语》中孔子说:“其身正,不令而行;其身不正,虽令不从”,也是说明这个意思。
