Once upon a time, I did not pay for my bill when I bought a pen, because the boss forgot to charge me, so I pretended to not realize it and just walk away with the pen. Many years passed, every time when I think of it, I will be ashamed of myself, I lost the important thing once, but I will not lose it again.

曾经有一次，我在买笔的时候没有付款，因为老板忘记向我收钱，因此我装作不知道，拿着笔就走了。多年过去了，每次我想到这件事，我就会为自己感到羞愧，我曾经失去了重要的东西，但是我再也不会弄丢了。

The merit¹ of honesty occupies great importance today. In the old time, without the camera’s supervisor², people kept their honesty according to their self-consciousness. It seems that if they are not honest, they would not get any punishment. But today, as the technology develops, people are supervised³ by the high-technologies all the time, once they are caught cheating, their files will have the spot, which affect their career badly.

诚信的品质在今天占据重要的地位。在过去，没有摄像头的监督，人们是通过自觉性来保持诚实的。似乎如果他们不诚实，也没有什么惩罚。但是今天，随着科技的发展，人们随时都被各种高科技监督，一旦被抓到作弊，他们的档案就会有污点，将严重影响他们的职业。

We are living in the modern life, we need to self-behaved, what we do is under the invisible⁴ cameras’ watching. Even we make the small mistake, we will be recorded without noticed. What we do decides what kind of person we are, so let’s be an honest person all the time. 我们活在现代的生活里，需要自律，我们所做的都在无形的摄像机的监控下。即使我们犯了小小的错误，也会被毫不知情的情况下被记录在案。我们的所作所为决定了我们的什么样的人，所以让我们成为诚实的人把。
