黄金法则英文翻译

What is the true definition of a gentleman? This questions is not easy to answer completely; but we will try.绅士的确切定义是什么？这个问题很难回答，但我们可以试一下。First of all, a gentleman is not necessarily a man of wealth, or one who wears fine clothes. It is no question of outer circumstances or appearance; it is the inner nature that distinguishes the gentleman. Theere are men in the humblest walks of life who are nature's gentleman. Without going into complicatd annalysis, however, we will try to give a general definition. The truest gentleman is the one who in his treatment of others comes nearest to exemplifying the "Golden Rule". This practically includes all, for upon this rule, all rules of conduct and rules of etiquette, however worldly, are based.首先，绅士不一定非得腰缠万贯或西装革履。是不是绅士，跟人的外表也没有关系。从本性上，才能分辨出真正的绅士。有的人出身卑微，但依然举手投足均如绅士一般。我们将试图给“绅士”做出一个通俗的定义，而不是长篇累牍的分析。所谓绅士，应该是那些在待人处事时尽可能遵循“黄金法则”的人士。“黄金法则”是指那些放之四海而皆准的礼仪规则。Some common conceptions of a gentleman are these: a gentleman is always considerate for the feelings of others; he has tact, --he knows how to say and to do the right thing at the right time. He is a gentle man, --that is to say, he is quiet and refined in manner and speech; he does not unduly assert himself. True strength is not loud and boisterous; but quiet and subdued. The manner of a gentleman is characterized by that essence of good manners-repose. 一些人对“绅士”有着如下的理解：绅士总考虑他人感受；他有着在适当时候做出合适举止的品行；他待人温和，即他的言行举止优雅而文静；真正的力量，不在于喧闹，而在于稳重与克制。举止优雅，正是绅士的精髓所在。
