According to legal positivism, there is no necessary relation between law and morality. The existence of law is one thing; its merit and demerit another.
法律实证主义则认为,法律与道德之间没有必然的联系,法律的存在是一回事,其好与坏是另外一回事;
Not accepting reward without merit is set to avoid the aleatory thought.
无功不受禄的意义,就在于避免这种侥幸心理的养成。
As a top manager, he should appoint none but people on their merit.
作为一位总经理,他应该任人为贤。
※Fame is the chastisement of merit and the punishment of talent. 盛名殊誉乃德才之忌.
