But according to Dr Zunin, "total honesty " is not always good for social relationships especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything, and a certain amount to play-acting may be best for the first minutes of contact with a stranger.

凡事要适得其时;逢场作戏,投其所好?

In the given context I'd say: 别忙,稍安勿躁:逢人只说三分话,未可全抛一片心。

There is time for everything = Don't rush. Be patient. 别急。不要操之过急。慢慢来。(下文:周旋的时间还是有的)

There is a time ... vs. There is time

There is a time for everything. 恐怕不同于 There is time for everything. 砖头的理解对头,但后半截“逢场作戏,投其所好”我认为太贬,
根据原文似不宜取。

Thanks for clarifying. There is time for 不等于 There is a time for (冠词虽小压千斤)

前者= 别急...
后者= 凡事各有其时。如此,下文则可译为“要有周旋的时间”

For everything there is a season, and a time ...
作者:Leroi - 1999/11/05 04:18:12
***
for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, Revised Standard Version)
Dr. Zunin, I presume, is a man of the world (老油子之谓也)and I doubt he has any of these things in mind when he says 'there is a time for everything'.
