礼仪
Manners
In a state therefore of great equality and virtue, where pure and simple manners prevailed, the increase of the human species would evidently be much greater than any increase that has been hitherto known.
因此，在一种极其平等和美德的状态下，在一种纯粹和简单的礼仪占主导地位的情况下，人类的增长显然将远远超过迄今所知的任何增长。
In like manner, if I let myself believe anything on insufficient evidence, there may be no great harm done by the mere belief; it may be true after all, or I may never have occasion to exhibit it in outward acts.
同样地，如果我在没有充分证据的情况下让自己相信任何事情，那么仅仅相信一件事也许并没有什么大的害处;也许这是真的，也许我永远没有机会在外表上表现出来。
Nothing seems at first sight less important than the outward form of human actions, yet there is nothing upon which men set more store: they grow used to everything except to living in a society which has not their own manners.
乍一看，似乎没有什么比人类行为的外在形式更不重要的了，然而，没有什么比这更值得人们重视的了:除了生活在一个没有自己礼仪的社会里，人们对一切都习以为常了。
