We are measured not by what we are, but by the perception of what we seem to be; not by what we say, but how we are heard; not by what we do, but how we appear to do it.

Explanation:
衡量我们的依据不是我们是什么,而是对我们(看起来)好像是什么的感知;不是我们说了什么,而是我们如何被倾听;不是我们做什么,而是我们如何(看起来)好像在做它。

这句话应该是说,影响对一个人评价的因素并非这个人及其行为本身,而是他人(评价者)对他的感知、印象、接受等因素。

Explanation:
吾等之受誉评,非吾等为何人,乃吾等视为何人也; 非吾等所言为何,乃吾等言所及及人为何也;非吾等所工何事,乃吾等工事之态也。

我们所受的评估所在,不在于我们是何人,而在于我们在他人面前所呈现为何人;不在于我们所说的言论是什么, 而在于我们所说的何言何语与他人产生了反响; 不在于我们从事了什么, 而在于我们在他人面前所展示的一面。

供参考

我们所受的衡量评估(面),不在于我们的存在本质,而在于对我们的存在所知(面);不在于我们的言论, 而在于我们的言论所及(面);不在于我们的行为本身,而在于我们的行为所示(面)。
