49.Don't Assess one by His Appearance

不能以貌取人

It's frequent that we tend to assess one by his appearance, which is not always accurate.

Once, in spite of our great endeavor, the technology adopted by my brewery couldn't efficiently prevent the beer component from going bad when the temperature was beneath 10 degrees centigrade. So I went to attend a seminar in New Zealand to find someone to consult. I previewed the seminar manual in detail, and decided that, among all the names listed underneath the caption, Dr. Smith, a famous technician and educator, was the competent one.

Learning that I didn't prepare local currency at the airport, a blind man asked me to share a cab with him to the Lotus Hotel. He was in shabby clothes. And his vague oral English confused me a lot. His bag was in such a messy situation inside recipes for cuisine, tickets for ballet shows, albums, cassettes and so on, all were mixed up. Luckily, resembling other blind people, his auditory and tactile senses were acute. However, later at the seminar, I learned that he was that famous Dr. Smith.
The speeches were tiresome except Dr. Smith's. After the seminar, he presented me a booklet with a picture of a bent rainbow on the cover, and said that it was up to me to digest the advanced technology and carry it out. Finally, we succeeded.
Besides the concrete technology, my acquisition of the knowledge about how to judge people was a bonus from Dr. Smith.

我們時(shí)常會(huì )傾向于根據外表來(lái)評定一個(gè)人，這并不總是準確的。

有一回，盡管做了極大的努力，我的啤酒廠(chǎng)采用的技術(shù)總不能在溫度低于10攝氏度時(shí)有效地防止啤酒成分變質(zhì)。因此，我去新西蘭參加了一場(chǎng)研討會(huì )，想找個(gè)人請教。我事先詳細查看了研討會(huì )手冊并決定，在標題下列出的名字中，史密斯博士，著(zhù)名的技術(shù)師和教育家，就是能勝任的人。

在機場(chǎng)，有位盲人得知我沒(méi)有準備當地的貨幣后，邀請我和他坐同一輛出租車(chē)到蓮花酒店。他身穿破舊的衣服，含糊的口頭英語(yǔ)讓我總是聽(tīng)不清楚，而且他的包里也很雜亂——烹飪菜譜、芭蕾表演的門(mén)票、相冊、磁帶等等，都混雜在一起。所幸的是，他和別的盲人一樣，有敏銳的聽(tīng)覺(jué)和觸覺(jué)。然而，后來(lái)在研討會(huì )上，我卻得知，他就是那位著(zhù)名的史密斯博士。

除了史密斯博士，其他人的演說(shuō)都令人厭倦。會(huì )后，他送給我一本封面上有道彎彎彩虹的小冊子，說(shuō)，接下來(lái)由我自己好好理解消化這先進(jìn)的技術(shù)并付諸實(shí)施。我們最終成功地解決了啤酒廠(chǎng)的問(wèn)題。

除了有形的技術(shù)，獲得如何判斷人的知識是史密斯博士贈送的又一件特別獎勵。
