培根论礼貌和尊重.pdfVIP

He that is only real, had need have exceeding great parts of virtue: as the stone had need to be rich, that is set without foil. 只有确实内在品格很高的人，才适合不拘小节。犹如没有衬景的宝石，必须自身珍贵才 会蒙受爱重一样。 But if a man mark it well, it is in praise and commendation of men as it is in gettings and gains: for the proverb is true, that light gains make heavy purses; for light gains come thick, whereas great come but now and then. So it is true, that small matters win great commendation, because they are continually in use, and in note: whereas the occasion of any great virtue cometh but on festivals. 深入观察人生会看出，获得赞扬之道犹如经商致富之道，正像一句俗话所说：“薄利才能 多销。”同样，小节上的一丝不苟常可赢得很高的称赞。因为小节更易为人注意，而施展 大才的机会犹如节日，并非每天都有。 Therefore it doth much add to a mans reputation, and is (as Queen Isabella said) like perpetual letters commendatory, to have good forms.

Not to use ceremonies at all, is to teach others not to use them again; and so diminisheth respect to himself: especially they be not to be omitted to strangers, and formal natures: but the dwelling upon them, and exalting them above the moon, is not only tedious, but doth diminish the faith and 1 credit of him that speaks. 有的人举止言谈好像在作曲，其中的每一音节都仔细推敲过。也有人举止粗放不拘礼仪， 这种不自重的结果是别人也放弃对他的尊重。 礼仪是微妙的东西，它既是人类间交际所不可或缺的，却又是不可过于计较的。如果把 礼仪形式看得高于一切，结果就会失去人与人真诚的信任。 因此在语言交际中要善于找到一种分寸，使
