The Invisible Power of Authenticity
真誠的無形力量
Reflect on the experience of meeting someone for the first time and feeling an immediate connection. What was it about this person that you found attractive?
回想一下第一次和某人見面時(shí)那種相見恨晚的感覺，你被他哪些地方吸引了呢？
Think of a salesperson you really liked. Did this person try to impress you or was he or she a sincere, quality person who took the time to get to know you and understand your needs?
想想某個(gè)你真正喜歡的銷售員，他有沒有努力給你留下深刻印象？他/她是個(gè)真誠的人嗎？他/她是否花時(shí)間了解了你，明白了你的需求？
My guess is that in both situations, the person you connected with was being genuine or authentic.
我猜這兩種情況下你遇到的人都是真誠的。
The Face of Authenticity
真誠的含義
Authenticity is the degree to which one is true to one’s own personality, spirit, or character, despite outside pressures. It’s living with integrity. Being authentic means you are being faithful to internal values rather than external ideas from the world. When you put on a mask to please others, you are being false to yourself.
真誠是指一個(gè)人忽視外界壓力，對(duì)自己人格，精神和性格的忠誠度，與誠實(shí)相同。真誠意味著你忠誠于自身而非外界價(jià)值觀。當(dāng)你虛假示人以討好別人時(shí)，你也是在背叛自己。
Nathaniel Hawthorne warns us about this: “No one man can, for any considerable time, wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which is the true one.”
美國作家納撒尼爾·霍桑告誡我們：“沒人能在任何一段時(shí)期里,面對(duì)自己時(shí)戴一副面具,在別人面前又?jǐn)[出另一副嘴臉的同時(shí),不會(huì)因?yàn)樽罱K分辨不出哪個(gè)才是真實(shí)的自己而迷失的.”
To help us clearly understand the concept of authenticity, let’s explore some of the adjectives and attributes used to describe an authentic man or woman: sincere, genuine, believable, vulnerable, factual, reliable, transparent, loving, caring, real, truthful, and faithful.
為了更好理解真誠的含義，我們用一些形容詞和限定詞來描述真誠的人，如真誠的，真實(shí)的，可信的，脆弱的，可靠的，坦率的，忠誠的，有同情心的等等。
