It is often said that birds of a feather flock together. This can be positive
or negative, depending on the situation. If one keeps company with someone of
poor character, we assume that this person also has a flawed character. Likewi
se, if someone spends time around people with good character and impressive ta
lents, we may believe they must also be of good character and amply talented.
But even though this is indicative in general, this isn't necessarily an accur
ate way to assess, as assumptions about people and who they associate with can
be misleading. Don't make a judgment today about someone based on the company
they keep.

人们常说物以类聚。 根据具体情况，这可能是好的，也可能是坏的。
如果一个人与一个性格不好的人聚在一起，我们就会认为这个人也有一个有缺陷的人。
同样，如果有人花时间去和具有良好品格和令人印象深刻的才能的人打交道，我们也可能
会认为他们也有着良好的品格并充满著才华。
但即使这一般而言是正确的，这也不一定是一种正确的去认识人的方式，因为关于人的
假设可能会产生错误。
不要只因为他的名声而做出判断。
