more by considerations of honor than of anything else.

更多还是因为事关名誉而非其它
Let me put it in the way that's most helpful in this context.

在此背景下我换种更易理解的说法
It's really the negative that's important.

真的是因为丢尽脸才会撕破脸的
More important than honor is dishonor;

比名誉更重要的是耻辱
people hate to be dishonored.

人们对受到屈辱往往感到忿恨
They hate -- there is a wonderful slang word that now tells the story.

人们忿恨如今有个很好的俚语来形容
It wasn't available when I was a kid.

我还是孩子时候还没有这个词
The thing was available, but the word wasn't available.

那时有这样的事但是词还没有那么用
If I say to you, he dissed me; do you know what I mean?

我说他骂我知道我的意思吗
Do you think there's a danger to your teeth

如果你骂错了人
if you dissed the wrong guy?

你可得小心你的牙
Do you doubt that that sort of thing

你们还质疑这种事情
