The less one thinks, the more one speaks.
愈不用脑筋的人愈爱大放厥辞。
One who talks too much often makes a fool of himself. Such a person is sometimes called “an empty vessel.” As the saying goes, “Empty vessels make the most sound.” If you talk too much, people will think you are stupid. On the contrary, a wise man seldom says much. As they say, “The less one thinks, the more one speaks.”
话过多的人经常出丑。这样的人有时被称作“空瓶子”。俗云:“空瓶响叮当。”如果你话多,人家会认为你蠢。相反地,智者则寡言。俗话说:“愈不用脑筋的人愈爱大放厥辞。”
