[size=4][color=#ff0000]:qq66] Please read the story carefully,then translate the red sentences and tell me what are you thinking about when you read the whole story~Don't be shy,just make your imagination fly in your sky![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000][/color][/size]
[color=#ff0000][size=4] [font=Times New Roman][color=#000000]  I walked with my friend to the newsstand the other night, and he bought a paper, and thanked the newspaper seller politely. [color=red]The vendor didn't even acknowledging.[/color][/color][/font][/size][/color]
[font=Times New Roman][size=4]   "A sullen fellow, isn't he?" I commented.[/size][/font]
[font=Times New Roman][size=4]   "Oh, he's that way every night," shrugged my friend.[/size][/font]
[font=Times New Roman][size=4]   "Then why do you continue to be so polite to him?" I asked.[/size][/font]
[font=Times New Roman][size=4]   "Why not?"inquired my friend." Why should I let him decide how I'm going to act?"[/size][/font]
[font=Times New Roman][size=4]   As I thought about this incident later, it occurred to me that the important word was" act".My friend acts toward people. Most of us react toward someone else.[/size][/font]
[font=Times New Roman][size=4]   He has a sense of inner balance which is lacking in most of us. [color=red]He knows who he is, what he stands for and how he should behave. [/color]He refuses to respond to incivility with incivility, because then he would no longer be in command of his own conduct.[/size][/font]
[font=Times New Roman][size=4]    [color=red]We shouldn't expect free things from others. We should be willing to pay.           ——A.Maurois[/color]**** Hidden Message *****[/size][/font]

1、The vendor didn't even acknowledging.
这个小商贩连一个招呼都不打。
2、He knows who he is, what he stands for and how he should behave.
他知道他是谁,他代表着什么,他如何行为举止。
3、We shouldn't expect free things from others. We should be willing to pay.
我们不能期待别人的回馈,我们能够做到的是付出。
