A soft answer turns away wrath. 婉言可以释怒。
据《圣经·旧约·箴言》(Bible, Old Testament, Proverbs )第15章第1-2节记载:
“回答柔和,使怒消退;言语暴戾,触动怒气。智慧的人舌善发知识;愚昧的人口只吐愚昧。
(A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly, but the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness.)”“上帝洞悉一切,他无时无刻不在关注我们,不管我们行善还是作恶。婉言给人带来生机,恶语打垮人的精神。”
据此,“A soft answer turns away wrath.”从字面意思就可知道它的意思:婉言可以释怒。如:
A soft answer turns away wrath. So you’d better cool off yourself if you want to persuade him to change his mind.
(婉言可以释怒。所以如果你想说服他改变主意,你最好自己先冷静下来。)
