此时有声胜无声 Sound is better than silence 白居易在《琵琶行》中写下了“别有幽愁暗恨生，此时无声胜有声”的千古绝句。也许，这是当时千言万语在无言中的最好写照。但有时，或者说更多的时候应是有声胜无声。 Bai Juyi wrote the eternal quatrain "don't worry about life, but it's better to be silent than to have a voice". Perhaps, this is the best portrayal of thousands of words in silence at that time. But sometimes, or more often, there should be more sound than silence. 语言是人类与其它动物的重要区别，它必有其过人之处。它是沟通人与人之间的桥梁，它是化解仇恨的有用手段，它是国与国合作的基础…… Language is an important difference between human beings and other animals. It must have its own advantages. It's a bridge between people. It's a useful means to resolve hatred. It's the basis of state to state cooperation 这一生最景仰的人是烛之武。不是他肯放下私人恩怨而为国挺身而出的品质，而是他竟能用一段话使秦师从边境中退去，挽救一国家，一个即将灭亡的国家。“若郑亡而有益于君，敢以烦执事”“越国以鄙远，君知难也”“焉用亡郑以陪邻？邻之厚，君之薄也”“且君尝为晋君赐矣，许君焦、瑕，朝济而夕设版焉”这些语句句句击中要害，简洁而又明了，让秦伯感受到亡郑的害处而是放弃攻郑。这就是语言促进沟通的力量呀！怎能叫人不佩服？ |
