It Pays to Be Honest
Although honesty is believed to be a virtue, there are still dishonest people in our society. For example, some businessmen sell fake product to their consumers; some students cheat in the exams.
Dishonest people are short-sighted. Those who sell fake products may make money at first, but consumers won’t buy their products any more. As a result, they will lose their fortune or even be sent to prison. By contrast, honest people gain a lot.
Those who always tell truth or keep to their promise not only let others trust them but gain respect from other people as well. Such persons are sure to have a lot of good friends.
Because they are trustable and respectable, everyone is eager to make friends with them, Besides, it is easier for a person with a good record to get a good job. Generally speaking, every employer wants his employees to be honest. So we can say that anyone who is honest will be paid back later. In a word, honesty wins trust, respect and honor. So it is important that we should behonest.
参考译文
虽然诚实是一种美德，还有在我们的社会不诚实的人。例如，一些商人销售假冒产品给消费者；一些学生考试作弊。
不诚实的人是短视的。那些卖假冒产品的人可能开始赚钱，但消费者不会再购买他们的产品。因此，他们将失去他们的财富，甚至被送进监狱。相比之下，诚实的人得到了很多东西。
这些人总是告诉真相或坚持自己的承诺，不仅让别人信任他们，但得到的尊重其他人一样。这些人肯定有很多的好朋友。
因为他们是值得信赖和尊敬，人人都渴望与他们交朋友，此外，它是一个良好的纪录，找到一个好工作的人更容易。一般来说，每个雇主希望他的员工是诚实的。所以我们可以说，诚实的人会有好报。总之，诚实赢得信任，尊重和荣誉。因此，我们应该诚实是很重要的。
