His many talents were the envy of all his friends.
他多才多艺, 所有朋友都羡慕他。
There is yet some good in public envy, whereas in private, there is none. For public envy, is as an ostracism, that eclipseth men, when they grow too great. And therefore it is a bridle also to great ones, to keep them within bounds.
虽说私人间嫉妒有百害而无一利,但公众嫉妒却还有一点好处,因为它就像陶片放逐法,可除去那些位高专权者,所以它对其他大人物亦是一种制约,可使他循规蹈矩。
