If this boss is egocentric, all those nice comments just might work.
如果这个老板很我,那些好听的话也许就有用。
We will at best conclude that we messed up because we were greedy, because we were vain, shallow, intemperate and weak-willed; that we have ruined our lives because we are lustful, harebrained, immature and egocentric.
我最多只能得出这样的结论:我把事情搞砸是因为我贪婪,因为我虚荣、肤浅、放纵和意志薄弱;我已经毁了我的生活, 因为我好色、鲁莽、不成熟和以我为中心。
