This sentence is translated as follows:
Throughout the world, only ordinary people have neither shortcomings nor advantages. If anyone can make the whole world hate him, he must be a world-famous adulterer. If someone can make the whole world love him, he must be an extraordinary hero. However, there are many people in the world, most of whom are ordinary people, and less than 1% are unusual people.

Therefore, people all over the world are not necessarily good people; People who are vilified by the whole world are not necessarily real great men.
