经常在一起的同伴相互之间在思想和行为方面具有极大的影响。

安妮·勃朗特《阿格尼斯·格雷》:

Habitual associates are known to exercise a great influence over each other’s minds and manners.

众所周知，经常在一起的同伴相互之间在思想和行为方面具有极大的影响。

原文：

Habitual associates are known to exercise a great influence over each other’s minds and manners. Those whose actions are for ever before our eyes, whose words are ever in our ears, will naturally lead us, albeit against our will, slowly, gradually, imperceptibly, perhaps, to act and speak as they do.

众所周知，经常在一起的同伴相互之间在思想和行为方面具有极大的影响。那些总在你眼前行动、总在你耳边说话的人很自然地会成为你的响导，即使你不乐意也罢，你会缓慢地、逐渐地、不知不觉地像他们那样行动、像他们那样说话了。
