请把下面的汉语翻译成一句英文:

 

马可奥勒留(Marcus Aurelius)在《沉思录》(Meditations)中写下这样自我劝勉的话:“一日之始就对自己说:我将遇见好管闲事的人、忘恩负义的人、傲慢的人、欺诈的人、嫉妒的人和孤僻的人。他们染有这些品性是因为他们不知道什么是善,什么是恶。”

参考答案:

In his Meditations, Marcus Aurelius wrote the following self-exhortation: “When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: The people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly. They are like this because they can’t tell good from evil.”
