03经典背诵

Learn to Say "Thank You"学会说“谢谢”

Do you remember a time when people were a little nicer and gentler with each other I certainly do.And I feel that much of the world has somehow gotten away from that.Too often I see people rushing into elevators without giving those inside a chance to get off first,or never saying hank you,when others hold a door open for them.We get lazy and in our laziness we think that something like a simple thank you doesn't really matter.But it can matter very much.The fact is that no matter how nicely we dress or how beautifully we decorate our homes,we can't be truly elegant without good manners,because elegance and good manners always go hand in hand.In fact,I think of good manners as a sort of hidden beauty secret.Haven't you noticed that the kindest,most generous people seem to keep getting prettier It's funny how that happens,but it does.Take the long lost art of saying thank you.Like wearing a little makeup,or making sure your hair neat.Getting into the habit ofsaying "thank you" can make you feel better about yourself.Good manners add to your image,while an angry face makes the best-dressed person look ugly.

你还记得当人们彼此更加随和温柔的时刻吗?我当然记得,而且我觉得在某种程度上世界上的许多东西都随之而去。我常常看到人们冲进电梯,而不是让人先下电梯 ,或者当别人为他们打开门时,从不说谢谢。我们变懒了。在懒惰中,我们认为像简单的“谢谢”之类的事情其实不重要。但它可是个大问题。事实上,无论我们如 何很好地打扮自己或者如何漂亮地装饰我们的家园,没有优雅的举止,我们不可能真正地优雅,因为优雅和礼貌总是齐头并进。其实,我认为礼貌是一种隐藏的美的 秘密。你有没有注意到,那些最善良,最慷慨的人似乎越来越美丽呢?这是多么有趣的事情呀,但它确实发生了。把说“谢谢”当作一种久违的艺术,就像喜欢化一 点妆,或者是自己的头发整洁。形成说“谢谢”的习惯可以让你自我感觉更好。礼貌美化你的形象,生气的脸只会使一个打扮最佳的人看起来很丑陋。
