"这个国家不必害怕失败的歪脖子人。我们把他关进监狱。真正对这个国家构成威胁的是成功的歪脖子人。"
— Theodore Roosevelt
Simplified Meaning:
When someone does something wrong and gets caught, they go to jail, and the problem is handled. But when a person does something bad and gets away with it, they can cause more trouble. For example, imagine a businessperson who cheats people but doesn't get caught. They can keep on cheating more people and make things worse for everyone. This person gains more power and is harder to stop. The real danger is when dishonest people succeed, because they can keep harming others without facing consequences. To protect everyone, it's important to stop these people before they become too powerful.
