沉默是金 Silence Is Gold
When we talk of the famous proverb "Silence is Gold", we should not simply label it as right or wrong, but explore it in depth.
當我們談到“沉默是金”這句著名的諺語時，我們不應該簡單地把它標為對或錯，而是要深入地探討它。
This proverb is especially true under several situations. First, if we have made a promise not to let out a secret, we should always keep silent. Second, we should avoid talking over facts or statistics of which we are not sure. Third, whenever we are expressing our ideas, brevity is the soul of wit and talking too much will always lead to faults and mistakes.
這條諺語在許多情況下尤其如此。首先，如果我們承諾不泄露秘密，我們就應該保持沉默。第二，我們應該避免談論我們不確定的事實或統計數據。第三，每當我們表達自己的想法時，簡潔是智慧的靈魂，過多的談論會導致錯誤和誤會。
Nevertheless, there are also some exceptions. If we find out a flaw in other' s speaking or writing, we should not hesitate a moment to point it out. And to friends or acquaintances seeking advice, we should feel free to help them.
然而，也有一些例外。如果我們發現了別人說或寫的缺點，我們就不應該猶豫，指出來。對于尋求建議的朋友或熟人，我們應該有幫助他們的自由。
In a word, we can draw the conclusion that in most cases "silence is gold", but in certain circumstances, talking is the right choice.
總之，我們可以得出這樣的結論:在大多數情況下，“沉默是金”，但在某些情況下，說話是正確的選擇。
