那就是世界的样子。它由一些几乎完美的人{我们自己}组成；然后有很多人通常会尽力而为，但并不是那么完美{我们的朋友和同事}。最后，有一些相当讨厌的人{我们的敌人和对手}。
(That was the way the world was; it was composed of a few almost perfect people {ourselves}; then there were a good many people who generally did their best but were not all that perfect {our friends and colleagues}; and finally, there were a few rather nasty ones {our enemies and opponents}.)
