参考词汇
(1)	fault， failing， weakness， frailty， foible， vice
(2)	These nouns denote an imperfection or deficiency of character. A
	这些名词表示品质的不完美和缺陷。
(3)	fault is a quality or trait that detracts from moral excellence:
	Fault 指品德或品质违反道德：
	“If we had no faults of our own, we would not take so much pleasure in noticing those of others” (La Rochefoucauld). A
	“如果我们自己没有罪过，我们就不会乐于注意别人的罪过” （拉·罗开福考德）。
(4)	failing is a minor fault or shortcoming:
	Failing 指小错或缺点：
	“An inability to stay quiet . . . is one of the most conspicuous failings of mankind” (Walter Bagehot).
	“不能安于现状…是人类最显著的缺点” （瓦特·白哲特）。
(5)	Weakness suggests deficiency of moral strength or force of character:
	Weakness 指缺乏道德力量或性格力量：
	“We must touch his weaknesses with a delicate hand. There are some faults so nearly allied to excellence, that we can scarce weed out the fault without eradicating the virtue” (Oliver Goldsmith). The term is related to but stronger than frailty, which implies the likelihood of yielding to temptation:
	“我们必须用巧妙的手腕抓住他的弱点。有许多弱点近似于优点，使我们很难消除弱点而同时不根除美德” （奥利佛·戈德史密斯）。这个词与frailty 有关但又比它强烈，指向脾气屈服：
	“Our frailties are invincible, our virtues barren” (Robert Louis Stevenson). Even weaker in imputing censure is foible, which refers to a minor defect that is easily overlooked and may even be endearing:
	“我们的错误看不到，我们的美德贫乏” （罗伯特·路易斯·斯蒂文森）。指责语气更弱的是foible，它指易被忽视并有可能被人喜爱的小毛病：
	“Science is his forte, and omniscience his foible” (Sydney Smith).
	“科学是他的长处，而无所不知则是他的小缺点” （西德尼·史密斯）。
(6)	Vice in this comparison refers to a moral flaw or in a weaker sense to a defect of character:
	Vice 在比较中指道德缺点或对性格弱点的较微弱感觉：
	“Lord, Lord, how subject we old men are to this vice of lying!” (Shakespeare).
	“老天爷，老天爷，我们的老人们对说谎的缺点是多么主观呀!” （莎士比亚）。
	“Obstinacy, Sir, is certainly a great vice” (Edmund Burke).See also Synonyms at blame, blemish
	“先生，顽固当然是一个大缺点” （爱德蒙·伯克）参见同义词 blame， blemish
