People can seek to understand, remember the little things, keep their promises, clarify and fulfill expectations, and still fail to build reserves of trust if they are inwardly duplicitous.
人們可以尋求理解、記住小事、信守承諾、釐清並實現期望，但如果他們內心是表裡不一，他們仍然無法與其他人建立信任。
inwardly: in your mind; secretly
duplicitous: dishonest in a way that is intended to make somebody believe something that is not true
conform: to behave and think in the same way as most other people in a group or society
oneness: the state of being completely united with somebody/something, or of being in complete agreement with somebody
One of the most important ways to manifest integrity is to be loyal to those who are not present. In doing so, we build the trust of those who are present. When you defend those who are absent, you retain the trust of those present.
彰顯正直的最重要方法之一，就是忠於不在現場的人。如此一來，我們就能建立在場人士的信任。當您維護不在場的人時，您就能得到在場的人對您的信任。
duplicity: dishonest behavior that is intended to make somebody believe something that is not true
betray: to hurt somebody who trusts you, especially by lying to or about them or telling their secrets to other people
privileged: having special rights or advantages that most people do not have
strangle: to kill somebody by pressing their throat and neck hard, especially with your fingers
You treat everyone by the same set of principles. As you do, people will come to trust you. They may not at first appreciate the honest confrontational experiences such integrity might generate. Confrontation takes considerable courage, and many people would prefer to take the course of least resistance, belittling and criticizing, betraying confidences, or participating in gossip about others behind their backs.
您應以相同的原則對待每個人。當您這樣做時，人們就會開始信任您。他們一開始可能不會欣賞這種誠實的直面應對。直面應對需要相當大的勇氣，而許多人寧願採取阻力最小的方式，輕視和批評、背信棄義，或在背後參與他人的流言蜚語。
belittle: to make somebody, or the things that somebody does, seem unimportant
reveal: to make something known to somebody
deceptive: likely to make you believe something that is not true
guile: the use of clever but dishonest behavior in order to trick people
Integrity also means avoiding any communication that is deceptive, full of guile, or beneath the dignity of people.
正直也意味著避免任何欺騙、充滿詭詐或有損他人尊嚴的溝通。
pity: a sad feeling caused by the pain and troubles of others
justified: having a good reason for doing something
uttermost: greatest; most extreme
farthing: in the past, a British coin worth one quarter of an old penny
wane: to become gradually weaker or less important
dejected: unhappy and disappointed
overdrawn: (of a person) having taken more money out of your bank account than you have in it
