A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
礼貌
Courtesy
Courtesy is a silver lining around the dark clouds of civilization; it is the best part of refinement and in many ways, an art of heroic beauty in the vast gallery of man's cruelty and baseness.
礼貌是文明乌云背后的一道银线;它是优雅的最好部分，在许多方面，是一种英雄的美丽艺术，在人类的残酷和卑鄙的巨大画廊。
Our daily life is filled with electronic pianos, ring tones, the disembodied voice giving you your bank balance over the telephone. Even silence can be electronic, courtesy of sound-canceling headphones.
我们的日常生活中充满了电子钢琴、铃声，以及通过电话给你银行存款的那种无形的声音。即使是无声的声音也可以是电子的，这多亏了可以降噪的耳机。
Therefore, a person should first be changed by a teacher's instructions, and guided by principles of ritual. Only then can he observe the rules of courtesy and humility, obey the conventions and rules of society, and achieve order.
因此，一个人首先应该被老师的教导所改变，并遵循礼仪的原则。只有这样，他才能遵守礼貌和谦逊的规则，遵守社会的惯例和规则，实现秩序。
