A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
适度
Moderation
Moderation has been called a virtue to limit the ambition of great men, and to console undistinguished people for their want of fortune and their lack of merit.
节制被称为一种美德，它能限制伟人的野心，并能安慰平庸之辈，因为他们缺乏财富和优点。
You know, as long as you do everything in moderation, you don't go overboard, you don't, you know, turn your lips into guppy lips - I mean, a little zip or a little zap, that is not a big deal.
你知道，只要你做每件事都有节制，你就不会做得过火，你不会，你知道，把你的嘴唇变成孔夫子的嘴唇——我的意思是，稍微拉一下或拉一下，没什么大不了的。
Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; but urge me not to use moderation.
告诉一个房子着火的人，适度地发出警报;告诉他适度地把他的妻子从掠夺者手中救出来;告诉母亲要慢慢地把她的孩子从它掉进去的火里救出来;但请敦促我不要使用节制。
