Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor（有利于）their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections（异 议）, no one will
30、defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. Those should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others.
