美德virtue[英]['vɜ:tʃu:] [美][ˈvɚtʃu] 中英文小故事：坚持不懈是一种美德 获取研究生学位多年以后，我回到位于宾翰顿的纽约州立大学当教员。一天，电梯里很拥挤，有人抱怨电梯效率太低。我说自我在那里当学生起，20年来电梯一直没有换过。 最后当电梯门打开时，我感到有人在我的背上同情地拍了一下，回过头来我看到一位年长的修女正在朝我微笑。“你会拿到学位的，亲爱的，”她低声说道：“坚持不懈是一种美德。” Many years after receiving my graduate degree, I returned to the State University of New York at Binghamton as a faculty member. One day in a crowded elevator, someone remarked on its inefficiency. I said the elevators had not changed in the 20 years since I began there as a student. When the door finally opened, I felt a compassionate pat on my back, and turned to see an elderly nun smiling at me. "You'll get that degree, dear," she whispered. "Perseverance is a virtue." 中英文例句 Virtue is not confined to the Christian world... 善行并不是仅限于基督教世界。 She could have established her own innocence and virtue easily enough. 她本可以轻易地证实自己纯真善良的品性。 His virtue is patience... 耐心是他的美德。 Her flaws were as large as her virtues... 她的缺点和优点一样多。 Humility is considered a virtue. 谦虚被认为是一种美德。 |
