《人性的弱点》英文原版，这里有点看不明白

Lincoln once reprimanded a young army officer for indulging in a violent controversy with an associate. “No man who is resolved to make the most of himself,” said Lincoln, "can spare time for personal contention. Still less can he afford to take the consequences, including the vitiation of his temper and the loss of self-control. Yield larger things to which you show no more than equal rights; and yield lesser ones though clearly your own. Better give your path to a dog than be bitten by him in contesting for the right. Even killing the dog would not cure the bite.”

主要是Yield larger things to which you show no more than equal rights; and yield lesser ones though clearly your own.看不明白，什么意思呢？请高手帮我翻译一下。谢谢！

Answer 1

回避那些庞然大物，当他们拥有比你更多的或者至少等同的权利的时候；也不要与不如你的人（拥有比你更少的权利的人）争抢，即使你明显是占据了道理的那一方。最好给一条狗让路，而不是与之争道而被狗咬。即使你把狗杀了，也不能治愈被狗咬的伤痛。

这里的意思就是厉害的人你惹不起，小人你惹得起但是不好打发，所以谁都不要惹，老老实实的让步就好。

Answer 2

对于那些显示出你只是拥有同等权利的大事作出让步，对于那些尽管你明显独享权利的小事也要作出让步。

林肯曾经谴责在与联营激烈论战沉迷一个年轻的军官。 “不管是谁，充分利用自己解决人类的问题“林肯说，“能抽出时间为个人争论。尽管如此，他更不能拿得起的后果，包括他的脾气损害了自我控制能力。更大的事情显示是不超过产量平等权利以上;产量较小的是清楚自己,最好给你的狗比路径在参选的权利由他咬伤甚至杀害狗会咬不能治愈“。
