刻薄 (Sharp)

“Liber homo es nimium”, dicis mihi, Ceryle, semper. In te qui dicit, Ceryle, liber homo est? “You’re too free a man”, you are always saying to me, Cerylus. In your case, Cerylus, who says “you’re a free man”? “Troppo tu sei mordace”, mi dici, o Cèrilo, sempre. Chi di te male dice, Cèrilo, è dunque mordace? 查理洛，你总是对我说:«你太刻薄»。 总之谁说你不好谁就太刻薄?
