※ 引述《Joannecc (该用什米昵称?)》之铭言:
: "If I have said anything in this letter that overstates the truth and
: indicates an unreasonable impatience, I beg you to forgive me. If I have said
: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
: anything that understates the truth and indicates my having a patience that
: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
: allows me to settle for anything less than brotherhood, I beg God to forgive
: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
: me."
: Which of the following is NOT true about the quoated sentences?
: (A) The speaker thinks being forgiven by God is more important than being
: forgiven by others.
: (B) The speaker would rather overstate the truth than understante the truth.
: (C) The speaker would prefer to settle for anything less than brotherhood.
: (D) The speaker would rather be impatient with his critics so that he
: can be faithful to God.
: (A) (B) 选项没问题。 答案是(C)
: 所以在第二句,是指 说话者无法接受违背手足之情之事?
brotherhood 这里不是指手足之情,信是写给认为作者的行为不智的人
但基於礼貌,还是用brotherhood这字,所以应该是网页中的第一个意思
请见

那句的意思是,如果为了屈就於双方的情谊,
让他谈的事情有任何一点不及事实的话,那他要请求神的原谅。
也就是说,如果他过於强调事实,或是把事实夸张了点,请求读者的原谅
但是,如果他讲得有任何一点不及事实,他要请求上帝原谅
所以他不会因为人和人之间的礼貌,就说不合真理的事!
: 那有提到(D)选项吗?不是很懂(D)选项的意思?
: 请版友大概解释一下 谢谢。
critics就是当初这封信的读者们,他宁愿让批评者觉得impatient,
也不愿意背叛上帝及真理地,然後说假话。
个人的看法,互相指教
