学习啦在线学习网   大学毕业后,我得到了成年后的第一份工作,我爸问我愿意贪污多少钱。

  My dad was an aerospace engineer, one of the most straight-edge ethical men you can imagine. So I told him the truth, "You raised me to be honest. There is no amount of money that could induce me to steal."

  But he wasn't having it. "A thousand dollars?" he asked, "Ten thousand?"

  但是他并不接受这个回答。“一千美金?”他问道,“还是一万?”

学习啦在线学习网   "Will I get caught?"

  “我会被抓吗?”

  "Ok, so it would have to be enough to escape the country and get a new identity."

  “好吧,那这些钱足够我逃到国外并且获得另一个身份。”

  “好,”他说。“现在开始,永远不要为了一盒笔或者一个三孔的打孔机而出卖了自己。如果你要的是5000万美金,那就一分都不能少。”

  Five advice more.

学习啦在线学习网   另外的5条建议。

学习啦在线学习网   1) "If you stand on the shores of temptation, the devil will row you a boat." I attribute this sage advice to my grandmother, but it is likely from another source. Do not put yourself in situations to be tempted.
