沉默不总是金 Silence Is Not Always Gold

 When I see the TV series¹, the image of good person is to keep silence all the time, so that they won’t get into the trouble or cause problem. It seems that silence is gold, it is good to keep silent². While I think silence is not always gold, sometimes people need to give their explanation, they should tell the truth, so that others won’t have to get the wrong information and do the wrong thing. Silence works³ when people get argued, to be silent can help them calm down and have time to clear their minds. At most of the time, people should express their thoughts and let everybody knows you, silence will make you nobody.

当我看电视剧的时候，好人的形象总是一直保持沉默，因此他们不会惹到麻烦或者引起问题。似乎沉默是金，保持沉默是好的。然而我不认为沉默总是金，有时候人们需要给出解释，他们应该说出事实，这样别人就不会得到错误的信息，做出错误的事情。在人们吵架的时候，沉默就起到了作用，沉默下来能让人们冷静，有时间弄清自己的思想。在大部分时间，人们应该表达清楚自己的思想，让别人了解你，沉默只会让你成为无名小卒。
