Looking back on the past, it is easy for anyone to see what should have been done even though it was impossible for anyone to see it at the time. (“20/20 vision” is an eye doctor’s term for eyes that see perfectly.)

181.The good die young.

Life is not always fair. Some very fine people die at a young age though it seems

they were so good they deserved to live longer.

182.Power corrupts.

When people are put into positions of power, they gradually forget what life is like for ordinary people. They become more likely to abuse their power, perhaps without even realizing it.

183.Half a loaf is better than no bread at all.

Sometimes we will not be able to get all we want or hope for. As such times of only partial success, we should look on bright side and be glad for what we got.

184. A house divided against itself cannot stand.

Unity is the strength that preserves a family or a nation.

185.Easy said than done.

We promise according to our hope but we perform according to our fear.

186. A dog is a man’s best friend.

Dogs are known for their loyalty. Their friendship is more reliable than the friendship of people.

187.Practice makes perfect.

Effort brings improvement and success.

188.Where there is a will, there’s a way.

Any problem can be solved if one is determined enough.

189.He who laughs last, laughs best.

If a person does wrong to someone and laughs at him or her, the victim will look for

a way to get revenge. When revenge is taken, the victim gets the last laugh,

defeating the other person.

190.It takes two to make a quarrel.

Avoid a fight if you can. An insult does not become a fight unless it is answered by an insult.

191.Let bygones be bygones.

Do not bring up an old problem. Pretend it never happened.

192.Two wrongs don’t make a right.

If someone does a wrong to you, react with justice, not by doing something vicious.

He did wrong to you, but you do right in response.

193.Crime does not pay.

Though crime appears to have benefits, this is an illusion. For example, shoplifting seems like an easy way to get things one wants, but crime always puts the criminal in danger of punishment.

194.So far so good.

Said by or to someone who is carrying out a plan taking one step at a time.

Confidence increases with each step.

195.Two is company and three is a crowd.

This may be used when two people are talking and a third, unwanted person approaches.

196.Innocent until proven guilty.

In a court of law, the accused person is presumed innocent at the start. The burden of proof always rests on the accuser, not the accused. The jury will not convict the

person unless the proof is clear.

197.The devil made me do it.

I am not to blame for what I did. I could not help it. Some power outside of me was

forcing me to act in that way. This is playfully used as an excuse by people who know they have done something wrong but want to avoid the penalty.

198.Home is where the heart is.

Home is wherever ones loved ones are. The size or appearance of a house does not make it a home or keep it from being a home.

199.Time and tide wait for no man.

When something’s time has come, it will happen and nothing can stop it. It is like an ocean tide coming in to the shore.

200.Home, sweet home.

This phrase reminds people of the ideal home. It should be a place of warmth, love and joy.

201.One good turn deserves another.

202.You dig your own grave.

203.You shoot your own foot.

美国人的六种核心价值观

文化是思维的源泉；而价值观是文化的凝聚。以下为你介绍美国人最主要的“六种核心价值观念”，让你能从文化的深度去比较中美观念和思维方式的不同，训练起自己思维差异的敏感性。 1、“个性自由” 在英语中叫做"individual freedom"，它是美国人的价值观念中最重要的一个。它起源于美国祖先追求宗教信仰自由的传统。目前，它已演变成追求个性的自由、解放。在语言上的体现为，美国人经常爱用“I think..... I believe.... My opinion is...”这样带有强烈个性色彩的开头语来表达自己的观点。即便是美国国务卿在代表美国政府讲话时，也会用这样个性色彩强烈的词汇。这与我们汉语的习惯有差别，我们总是在引用别人的东西，很怕把自己暴露出来，俗话说“枪打出头鸟”，所以从汉语中很少能体现出个性。有一次，我去美国朋友家做客，到晚上11：00，已经很晚了，于是我就按中国人的方式向美国朋友告别：“Mr. Steve，it is too late， you should have a rest， I bother you so much， i am sorry for that。”当我说完这些客气话后，美国朋友非常不高兴，说：“No，come on， I don’t think you are bothering me，we talk so good.Listen，if you want to go，it is because you want to go， not because of me”。我起初十分不理解他，我是好意，但这正是价值观的差异。在美国人的头脑中，一个人只要对他自己负责好了，不要去替别人说话。 2、“自力更生” 在英语中叫做“self-reliance”，这是美国人获得individual freedom的必要心理素质。美国人认为每一个人生下来就是自由的，但要真正享受自由就必须要rely on yourself。这种观念体现在语言上就是在与美国人交谈时，他们很少通过炫耀自己的家庭或社会关系来抬高自己；如果你要那么做了只能让别人觉得你是个kid，他们会毫不客气地问你：Ok，we know your father is great person，if we want to do somthing， I am gonna find him.So， what are you? what kind of experience do you have?在美国人的头脑中，一个没有自己生活的人永远只能是个孩子。 3、“机会平等” 在英语中叫做“equality of oppotunities”，美国人的祖先多来自于中世纪英国中下层的统治下，是没有和贵族阶级一样的平等机会。所以，在美洲大陆，祖先们把“平等的观念”写进了宪法。这体现在语言上是，美国人永远愿意倾听别人的意见，给别人机会；一个人在一方面犯了错误，并不剥夺他在其他方面出色的权利。 4、“竞争意识” 在英语中叫做“competition”，美国人认为竞争是永恒的，也是一个人证明他在社会中地位的手段，但同时他也许要与同事的合作。但请注意，美国人所理解的“竞争”中的胜利并不是“惟我独尊”，而是得到别人的理解和认可；另外，美国人清楚的认识到依次的胜利只能说明过去，明天会有更多的挑战，要乐观的面对挑战，参加竞争。 5、“追求财富” 在英语中叫做“seeking the wealth”，我们前面提到过，美国人的祖先大多来自于贫民，追求财富，改善生活成为绝大多数移民的梦想。时至今日现在的美国人对于财富的理解远远超出了他们的祖先，时间、健康、能力、信息等都超出了纸币本身的价值，金钱成为了一种代表符号。总而言之，在美国人看来，一个人要有expectation，这是你个人前进的动力。

有句话常挂在嘴边精选作文

有句话常挂在嘴边精选作文 篇一：有句话常挂在嘴边 宠辱不惊，看庭前花开花谢；去留无意，望天空云卷云舒。 ——习题记 时常，听长辈们说：“人呀，不能沮丧也不能骄傲，虚心才使人进步嘛！” 上中小学时，听到这句话，似懂非懂地点点头。到了重点初中，懵懂了要“胜不骄，败不馁”。 唐太宗李世民统一北方边境，中国步入了大唐盛世。唐太宗并没有被胜利冲昏头脑，他清醒地知道只有废寝忘食地治国才能永保大唐江山的稳固。他知贤纳谏，虚心听取魏征的良言，发出了“以铜为镜，可以正衣冠；以古为镜，可以知兴替；以人为镜，可以知得失”的感慨，将大唐盛世推向顶峰。 于是懂得：胜不骄，就应像唐太宗“居天下之高而忧其民”，不被曾经的功绩蒙蔽双眼，停滞不前。 拖动着沉重的脚镣，司迁陷入沉思。是用傲慢的头颅证实自己的清白，还是接受宫刑耻辱地活下来。想到皇帝的昏庸，自己刚正不阿的言行令龙颜大怒。想到宫刑后，为天下人耻笑的奇辱，他想要一死了之。然而临终遗言在他耳边一遍遍地响起，“一定要……写好……

《史记》……”父亲期待的眼神使他久久不能释怀，他紧握双拳，仰天长叹：“我要活下来！”…… 败不馁，正如司马迁面临生死抉择，决然选择了在别人眼中的耻辱的生，带着一腔悲愤，为后人留下千古史册。 今天，面临的我，有了更深的领悟。 当今，飞速开展的背后隐藏着无数的危机。人们为了升学、就业、婚嫁而废寝忘食地繁忙着。像是疾速行驶的列车，稍有不慎，便会出轨。很多人为了功名利禄而不择手段，最终锒铛入狱；更有一些人难以承担过大的压力而自寻短见。 诚然，升学就业的压力使我们身不由己。但是，有没有想过，人生处处有转角。不以物喜，不以己悲。不因一时挫败而停滞不前，不为暂时成功而沾沾自喜。学学陶潜“不戚戚于贫贱，不汲汲于富贵”的境界。 其实，只要你能将“胜不骄，败不馁”挂在嘴边，一切烦恼将霎时抛到九霄云外。那时，再看庭前花开花谢，遥望天空云卷云舒，一份惬意与清凉自在心中…… 篇二：有句话常挂在嘴边 有句话常挂在嘴边，让我知道会永远跳跃在我的指尖。 有句话常挂在嘴边，让我读懂流着眼泪却依旧含笑的脸。 有句话常挂在嘴边，让我清楚经历过的事，无论酸或咸、甜或苦，都是一种。

美国人的传统价值观

美国人的传统价值观 曹斯烨106150047 对于价值观，人类学家、社会学家、历史学家等都有各自的定义。美国社会学家塔考克?帕森斯（Talcott Parsons）是这样定义价值观的：“价值观是社会中人们一致接受的象征系统（文化系统）中的一个因素，是社会里各种选择或行动目标的标准。”一般来说，价值观包含以下几个因素：其一，价值观是一种抽象的思想观念，是生活经验的总结，是人们判断自己或他人言行的标准；其二，价值观是人们欣赏鉴别的标准；其三，价值观是选择行动的标准，但不是行动的目的，它是无形的不成文规范性规则。每一个社会、每一个民族都有自己传统的价值观，美国也是。 作为一个有着多人种、多元文化的一名国家，美国的传统价值观即继承了欧洲传统价值观中的部分内容，又通过200多年以来人民的不断打拼创造、不同民族文化的相互作用、相互融合得到了很大的发展，最终形成了极具有美国特色的，并导致了美国的快速发展的独特的价值观。 美国人的价值观可以从7个方面来阐述： 1、个人主义； 2、注重改变； 3、重视时间； 4、重视平等； 5、强烈的竞争意识； 6、注重效率和实际； 7、个性自由。 一、个人主义 个人主义是美国人的核心价值观。美国人的个人主义与生活在集体主义社会中的人眼中的个人主义并不相同，后者的个人主义被认为是自私自利、为了个人利益不惜牺牲集体利益。而美国人心目中的个人主义是独立和自立。大多数美国人认为个人主义是指“independent”和“self-reliance”，即“each one doing his own thing”.个人即是自己命运的主宰，由自己确立自己的目标，然后自行决定为达到这个目标而采取的办法、付出的努力。个人的生活和工

中美文化价值观差异

中美文化价值观差异 文化是一种社会范畴, 是指一个社会所具有的独特的信仰、习惯、制度、性格、思维方式等的总模式, 是一个社会的整个生活方式, 一个民族的全部活动方式。它为一个语言社会的全体成员所共有, 也为这个语言社会所独有[ 1] 。中华民族和美利坚民族, 是世界上两个伟大的民族, 有各自文化体系。下面主要总结一下：中美文化差异的具体体现；中美文化差异形成的原因。 中美文化差异的具体体现 (1)中美民族性格的差异。 中华民族和美利坚民族, 是世界上两个伟大的民族, 他们的共同特点都是勤劳、勇敢、热情而又积极进取。然而中美民族性格上是有差异的, 它是中美文化差异的一个重要组成部分。中国人看重的是群体意识, 注重整体价值。个人应为家庭和社会做贡献, 个人利益服从群体利益, 群体利益高于个体利益, 因此, 便形成了传统的公私义利的观念。美国人强调的是个人意识, 注重个人价值。美国的个人主义表现在:追求个人自由、个人自立、自由思考和选择自己想做的事情, 只要不超出法律范围, 就不会有人去干涉, 即使父母、兄长也无权干涉。这一点有其明显优越性, 它使美国家庭比中国家庭民主、平等得多, 父母很少为孩子决定什么事情, 而是与其协商或让孩子自己做决定。 (2)中美思维方式的差异。 傅雷曾经说过:“中国人和西方人之思维有基本分歧, 我人重综合, 重归纳, 重暗示, 重含蓄;而西方人重分析, 细微曲折的挖掘惟恐不尽, 描写惟恐不周”。中国人的思维模式是形象的、直观的、综合的, 美国人的思维模式是个体的、抽象的、独特的。 中美文化差异形成的原因 (1)自然环境和劳动方式的影响。 中国人的“天人合一”和“内向性主体精神”与美国人的“征服欲望”和“外显性客体精神”是由不同的自然环境孕育而成的。中国文化基于农业社会, 这种社会是一个复杂的等级社会, 强调等级与和谐;而美国不完全依赖于农业, 他们对工商业的依赖较大, 这些产业对个人特征的要求更高, 所以与此相适应, 美国人的思维取向是个人式的, 与中国人人际式的取向不同。 (2)民族历史的影响。 中国历朝历代推行的是一种“重农抑商”的政策, 农业经济增长缓慢, 不像商品经济下的财富积累暴起暴落, 因而人与人之间的分化和差异不那么显著。人们之间的连结容易趋于稳定, 再加上小农生产的特点, 形成了个人对于群体的依存关系, 这些都与中国人的群体意识的形成不无关系。与此相反, 美国人看重的则是个体的人。另外, 美国是一个以商品经济为主的社会, 人口流动性比较大, 人与人之间在生存、生活方面的依赖性逐渐削弱。 (3)传统思想的影响。 中国文化是建立在儒家思想上的内陆文化, 主张简约、和谐、中庸、对称与平衡。孔子主张“允执其中”,“过犹不及”。美国文化是建立在古希腊传统之上的海洋文化, 在思维方式上以亚里士多德的逻辑思维和分析思维为特征, 强调个人特性和自由, 是一种以个人主义

高考满分作文--有句话常挂在嘴边

高考满分作文--有句话常挂在嘴边 有句话常挂在嘴边：严于律己，宽以待人。 "严于律己";即对自己严格要求，日省吾身，见贤则思齐，见不贤则内自省。孔夫子曾教导弟子"三人行，则必有我师焉。择其善者而从之，其不善者而改之";，说的就是此意。 对做学问者来说，严于律己的精神必不可少。纵观历史，凡学有所成者莫不深知此理。古时学者悬梁刺骨，囊荧映雪，故有纵横捭阖之才，经纶世务之智;王右军临池练字，在池中洗笔，竟染黑了一池水，故后有书圣美誉。其精益求精，严于律己的决心意志着实令人敬佩。也正因为这种精神，成就了一代又一代经世济国之才。 对修养自身者而言，严于律己更显得尤为重要。儒家朱熹强调"吾日三省吾身";，不断检视自己的行为。法家荀况同样也说过"君子博学而日参省乎己，则知名而行无过矣";。可见反躬自省，严于律己对加强自身修养的重要性。 以此看来，严于律己可达到不断完善自己，以至于"随心所欲不逾矩的境界";。 "宽以待人";即宽容地对待别人，多发掘欣赏别人的优点。只有如此，才能发字内心地热爱民众，即儒家所提倡的"仁";，和墨家所阐释的"兼爱";。 孔子将"恕";归结为儒家要义之一，劝说人们原谅他人的过错，包容他人的缺点。我们身边经常有这样的人，今天抱怨这个人太小气，明天又说那个人目中无人，以致于弄得人际关系紧张。因为他不懂得宽恕别人，看人只看到别人身上的缺点，当然就无人可入其眼。试问天下又有谁是十全十美的吗?经常义正词严地指责别人难道就能说明你身上缺点很少?恐怕事实恰好相反。 进一步来说，如果一个人经常欣赏别人的优点，那麽在他眼里则天下无一人不可爱，又哪会心生怨恨呢?东坡流放岭南之时，曾与化外人比邻而居。但他看不到他们的粗鲁，而只看到他们的豪放和不拘小节;看不到他们的不知礼仪，而只看到他们的自然率真。故虽生活艰苦而能得邻里多方援助，结交到不少好友。所以懂得欣赏别人的人总是乐观愉快，兼怀仁爱之心。 "宽以待人";是最好的为人处世之道，它令人旷达无忧。 "严于律己，宽以待人";一言治学修身，一言善处人际，人生三昧尽在其中。如此金玉良言不止应常挂于嘴边，更应反复思量，定能从中获益良多。

有些话很伤人,不要经常挂在嘴边

龙源期刊网 https://www.sodocs.net/doc/0216031944.html, 有些话很伤人，不要经常挂在嘴边 作者：沐沐 来源：《幸福·婚姻版》2016年第10期 俗话说：良言一句暖三冬，恶语伤人六月寒。在婚恋中，如果女人总在语言上逞一时之快，就会失去更珍贵的东西。情绪就会变得有惩罚力，舌头具有破坏力。而两个人互相拆台，互相羞辱，互相敌视，相互沉默的时间在延长，婚姻和爱情也必将破裂。所以，有些伤人的话永远不要对你的伴侣说。 1.“你看看人家……” 许多女人总是爱拿自己的丈夫和别人的丈夫比较。而女人对于男人最具杀伤力的一句莫过于“你看看人家……”女人总是奚落自己的丈夫不如别人的丈夫能赚钱，不如别人的丈夫会浪漫，不如人家有本事，不如人家潇洒，不如人家会做家务……这种对丈夫无能的指责既可能是事业上的，也会是生活中的，但往往是这句话大大地刺伤男人的自尊心，事业是男人生命的重要组成部分，一味地讽刺挖苦就可能将男人置于绝望的境地。久而久之，家庭的矛盾自然就会爆发。 2.当众批评、指责男人，不给男人留面子 男人的面子就好比老虎的屁股，绝对不可触犯。然而，许多女人只要发起火来，都不会顾及男人的面子，在公众场合批评和指责男人，让男人大为恼火，最终引发不可调和的矛盾。 3.总是喋喋不休抱怨个没完 卡耐基说：在地狱中，魔鬼为了破坏爱情而发明的恶毒办法中，抱怨和唠叨是最厉害的了。它永远不会失败，总是具有破坏性，总是致人于死命。 女人想保持可爱的形象，最重要的不是挑选化妆品，也不是购买昂贵的首饰来装饰自己，而是管住自己的嘴巴。没有哪个男人会欣赏唠叨不休的女人。可以说，抱怨和唠叨，是夫妻感情的一大杀手。 4.一吵架就说“分手”或“离婚” 一些女人一和男人吵架，就以“分手”或“离婚”相要挟，说这种伤感情的话。其实，女人说这些话并不是真的想分手或离婚，而只是气话，但是这句话出口后，会严重地让男人感到心凉、失望，从而有一天真的会离你而去。 5.“你真没用……找你真是瞎了眼了！”
