Nevertheless, at the first council which the young Dionysius held with his friends, Dion discoursed so well of the present state of affairs, that he made all the rest appear in their politics but children, and in their votes rather slaves than counselors, who timorously and disingenuously advised what would please the young man, rather than what would advance his interest. But that which startled them most was the proposal he made to avert the imminent danger they feared of a war with the Carthaginians, undertaking, if Dionysius wanted peace, to sail immediately over into Africa, and conclude it there upon honorable terms; but, if he rather preferred war, then he would fit out and maintain at his own cost and charges fifty galleys ready for the service.

白话

在年轻狄奥尼修斯第一次与朋友们的议事会上,狄翁把当前局势讲得头头是道,让其他人在政治上显得像小孩,投票时像奴隶而非顾问,他们胆小又不诚实地只挑年轻人爱听的说,而不提真正有利的建议。最让他们震惊的是,狄翁为消除与迦太基人战争的紧迫危险,提出:如果狄奥尼修斯要和平,他立刻渡海去非洲,以体面条件缔结和约;如果要战争,他自费装备并维持五十艘战船。这说明真正的顾问要敢提可行方案,并愿意为方案负责。

今日一问

在团队讨论中,你是提对方爱听的话,还是提真正有利且自己愿担责的方案?
