诚信的主要区别(main difference honesty) vs. 正直(integrity)

Since honesty and integrity are two qualities that are always associated together many people assume that honesty and integrity are the same. However, there is a distinctive difference between honesty and integrity. Honesty refers to sincerity or truthfulness whereas integrity has a much broader meaning, encompassing honesty as well as moral soundness. This is the main difference between honesty and integrity. Although a person with integrity may be honest, not all honest people may have integrity. Let’s see why this happens in this article.

什么是诚实(honesty)？

诚实可以定义为不欺骗、诚实或真诚。简而言之，一个诚实的人不会说谎；他总是说实话。不诚实是诚实的对立面；不诚实的人撒谎、欺骗和欺骗他人。但是一个诚实的人不是这样的；一个诚实的人是所有人都信任的。诚实在许多宗教中也被认为是一种美德。

然而，仅仅诚实的品质并不意味着一个人是好的。让我们看下面的例子来更好地理解这个概念。

想象一下你不小心打碎了你妈妈最喜欢的花瓶。如果有人不问你是否对此负责，如果你告诉别人你弄坏了它，你可以保持沉默——你没有撒谎或欺骗任何人。所以，基本上，你可以安慰自己，说你是一个诚实的人，因为你没有撒谎。但是，如果你是一个正直的人，你会向你的母亲承认你的错误。让我们看看什么是诚信。

什么是正直(integrity)？

诚信是诚实和遵守严格道德规范的品质。《美国传统词典》将诚信定义为“坚定地遵守严格的道德或伦理准则”，而《牛津词典》将诚信定义为“诚实和具有强烈道德原则的品质”。

Integrity includes selecting moral or ethical code which should be followed, acting according to this code even when it is difficult or inconvenient to do so. A person with integrity would always admit his mistakes, and he would be trustworthy, sincere, and steadfast. If a person is acting according to his beliefs and his moral code, he is acting with integrity.
