“It costs nothing to be polite.彬彬有礼，无须破费；谦虚恭敬，不用分文。对人有礼貌，并不需要我们付出什么代价，但是，微不足道的善举和礼貌却常常能带给你巨大的回报。对每个人都以礼相待，这种付出是值得的! 把这篇文章反复朗读直至脱口而出，更加值得！不但教你礼貌，还提升英语水平！”


Be Polite 以礼待人

Good manners are so important in today's society. A little effort towards being polite to everyone you meet can have great rewards.

Everyone should be polite. Polite people show good manners. Moreover, they are popular. On the other hand, rude people are looked down upon. Rudeness shows poor education. Therefore, why not be polite? A simple "Please," "Thank you," or "You're welcome" can make a big difference.

If someone says dirty words all the time, it shows that something is wrong with his mouth. You'd better persuade him to "watch" his mouth!


在今天的社会，讲礼貌非常重要。如果你肯用点心礼貌地对待你所遇到的每一个人，你将获得巨大的回报。

每个人都应彬彬有礼。讲礼貌的人展现出良好的风度，而且受人欢迎。另一方面，没有礼貌的人则被人瞧不起。粗鲁是没教养的表现。因此，何不有礼貌一点呢？“请”“谢谢你”或“不客气”这几个词虽然简单，却会使情况大不相同。

如果有的人总是骂骂咧咧，满口脏话，那就说明他的嘴“出了问题”。你最好建议他去“注意”嘴巴（注意言辞）。
