It is often said that birds of a feather flock together. This can be positive
or negative, depending on the situation. If one keeps company with someone of
poor character, we assume that this person also has a flawed character. Likewi
se, if someone spends time around people with good character and impressive ta
lents, we may believe they must also be of good character and amply talented.
But even though this is indicative in general, this isn't necessarily an accur
ate way to assess, as assumptions about people and who they associate with can
be misleading. Don't make a judgment today about someone based on the company
they keep.

人們常說物以類聚。 根據具體情況，這可能是好的，也可能是壞的。
如果一個人與一個性格不好的人聚在一起，我們就會認為這個人也有一個有缺陷的人。
同樣，如果有人花時間去和具有良好品格和令人印象深刻的才能的人打交道，我們也可能
會認為他們也有著良好的品格並充滿著才華。
但即使這一般而言是正確的，這也不一定是一種正確的去認識人的方式，因為關於人的
假設可能會產生錯誤。
不要只因為他的名聲而做出判斷。
