Primitive humans might have acted in such fashion, but civilized humans should cultivate more appropriate behaviors.  　　In the drawing above, a man carrying a large load accidentally steps on a woman's foot. Given that he gracefully apologizes, the woman both accepts his apology and assures him not to worry.  　　The man and woman depicted interact with each other in a courteous and compassionate manner. The woman understands the man did not intentionally step on her foot, and therefore whether or not she is in pain, she does not attack or blame him. Because she is able to view the situation from his perspective, conflict is diverted. Mutual understanding such as this is a fundamental aspect of civilized society.  　　Some people tend to think the worst of others and become angry over even the smallest of matters, regardless of how their own actions are disturbing in turn. Such intolerance only leads to more conflict. Disrespecting or mistreating people not only inflicts pain upon others, but can also harm one's own conscienceand attitude.  　　Having compassion for others is an important facet of social intercourse. Once one strives to understand the experience and perspective of another, one can avoid much trouble and conflict, thus making life more peaceful and just for all. 　　译文： 　　人类和野兽的区别就在于后者倾向于相互仇视，交往时不讲道理且好斗。原始人也许会如此行事，但文明人应该养成更得体的举止。 　　上图中，一个手里捧着很多东西的先生无意中踩了旁边女士的脚。在他有礼貌地道歉后，这位女士不仅接受了他的道歉，还让他不必在意。 　　上图中的先生和女士诠释了在与人交往时应有的礼貌和富有同情心的态度。这位女士知道他并不是有意要踩她的脚，所以无论疼不疼，她都不会攻击或是埋怨这位先生。因为她能设身处地地看待这件事情，一场冲突就避免了。像这样的相互理解是构成文明社会的基本方面。 　　一些人往往把别人想得特别坏，为点鸡毛蒜皮的事就大发雷霆，而全然不顾他们自己的行为是多么让别人讨厌。这种偏狭只会导致更多的冲突，对人无礼或粗暴不仅会给别人带来不愉快，而且会损害自己的道德水准和仪态。宽厚是社交中重要的一面，一旦一个人努力去理解别人的做法和看法，他就会避免许多麻烦和冲突，而这会让所有人的生活都变得更美好。 　　范文2： 　　The drawing depicts a common incident in our daily lives. The exchange of words between the man and woman shows a lot about them. While the man's politeness is demonstrated when apologizing for having done something wrong, something that should be noticed even more is the understanding of the woman in accepting his apology.  　　Understanding is a virtue of human beings. It allows us to enjoy the warmth of the sunshine and can bridge the gap of human relationships. Understanding, which can be considered as patience and as a kind of selfrestrained behavior, is needed in every part of our lives. Understanding can also be regarded as a good behavior. It refers to a good way in which we sincerely and genuinely show politeness, kindness, friendship and respect to people. It is very important for our relationships with others because we are often judged by our manners, which shows our education, our cultural quality and our inner qualities.  　　With understanding, we can warm each other's hearts and win friendships, and this can be sometimes even more powerful than gun barrels. So, in our daily life, we should always follow the golden rule: Do, as you would like to have doneto you. 　　译文： 　　这幅图描绘了我们日常生活中极普通的一件小事。这位女士和这位男士间的对话表露出许多信息。对话不仅表现了这位男士在发现自己做错了事并向对方道歉时表现出的礼貌态度，而且更加表露出这位女士在接受道歉时的善解人意。 　　理解是人类的一种美德。它能使我们感受到阳光般的温暖，能抚平人与人之间的隔阂。理解被认为是一种宽容，同时它也是一种自律，世界的任何地方都需要理解。理解也是一种文明的举止。换句话说，它也是一种真诚地表示我们的礼貌、善良、友谊和尊敬的良好途径。它在人际关系中起着重要的作用，因为人们总是根据行为举止来对人加以评判，它们能够表现出我们良好的道德修养、文化素质和内在底蕴。相互理解使我们能温暖他人的心灵，赢得他人的友谊，有时，理解甚至比武力更有力量。因此，日常生活中我们应当时刻牢记这条金玉良言：己所不欲，勿施于人。
