On Courtesy
By Frank S.Hogan
1.Courtous treatment is a recognition by one person that another person has the same dignity as a human being.
2.The practice of couresy develops the habit of treating others as equals.
3.It is,therefore,more than a lubricant which prevents irritation between individuals of different background.
4.It becomes a solvent of the causes of friction and,when constantly applied,produces a positive force in the creation of good will.
5.Is that a little thing?If so,life is full of little things-full of small pains and petty griev-ances which little remedies can cure.
关于礼貌
弗兰克·霍根
Frank S.Hogan 弗兰克·霍根虽然是名不见经传的作家,但他这篇“关于礼貌”的短文不仅对儿童有着良好的教育意义,而且该篇的文字通俗而诙谐,不比喻生动而形象,实为一篇英文佳作。
以礼待人是对人格的尊重。
以礼待人使我们养成与人平等相处的习惯。
礼貌避免不同境遇地调人因分歧而相互愤懑,胜过任何调停。
礼貌将矛盾纷争化解于无形,天长日久,它成为我们实现美好愿望的助力。
礼貌是区区小事吗?如果是,生活本来就是充满着各种小事——充满着无法根治的小小痛苦和小小忧伤。
