| | Chinese translation:如果这个许诺者有些知名度，如果他重视个人尊严的话 | Explanation:
If social disapproval is attached to promis-breaking, a kind of disapproval that people generally want to avoid, then this supplies a further reason, as would the fact that the promiser is known, as a point of personal pride, to attach particular importance to keeping his or her word.
如果违背诺言者背负着人们通常会躲避的社群不赞同的压力，那么这就给他提供了一个进一步的理由（如果他有知名度，重视个人尊严的话）去信守诺言。 |

| Grading comment 问题是，as would the fact that the promiser is known夹在中间是什么意思？除去这一句，全句可以译为：“如果不遵守诺言要受到社会的谴责，一种人们一般都希望避免的谴责，那么，这就提供了进一步的理由，认为遵守他或她的诺言作为个人尊严的问题特别重要。”
