【国旗下讲话】关于尊重（2020年10月26日 第五周）

国旗下讲话

尊重意味着你足够关注并认真思考你对别人的影响。

Respect means you care enough to think about how you impact others.

“尊重是什么呢？”这是一个很大的概念。你可能听到过要有尊重或者要表现尊重。尊重的核心是关心他人。尊重是关注你的言语和行为会如何影响别人。尊重有两个方面：

• 考虑到自己的行为会对别人产生影响，主动向别人表示尊重；
• 为了不给别人带来负面的影响，改变自己的行为，向别人表示尊重。

“What is respect” is a big concept to grasp. You might hear about having respect or showing respect. At the heart of respect is caring. Respect is caring how words and actions may impact others. Respect has two parts: 

1)having respect for someone because of how their actions impact others. 

2) showing respect by changing your actions to be sure you don’t have a negative impact.

表达尊重，意味着你对别人对待他人的行为方式感觉积极正面。比如说我们会尊重以下行为：

• 一个人很友好地对待别人。
• 某人为了成就某件事情努力工作。
• 某人努力克服了一个困难。

Having respect means you feel positively toward a person because of how they affect others. For example, you may have respect for：

• a person that treats other people kindly；

• someone who worked hard to achieve something；

• someone who overcame a challenge.

你可以向别人表示尊重，同时，你也要对自己表示尊重。自尊意味着你对自己感觉良好，你对自己的决定感觉很好，而且对别人产生的影响也感觉很好。

You can have respect for others, and you can have respect for yourself. Self-respect means you feel good about who you are, the types of choices you make, and the impact you have on others.

向某人表示尊重意味着你的行为能够顾及到别人的感受，能考虑到他人的幸福。向别人表示尊重还包括：

• 不使用有伤害性的称呼；
• 尽管你感觉沮丧，也使用礼貌的语气对别人讲话；
• 无论做什么，都会考虑会不会给你别人带来伤害。

Showing respect to someone means you act in a way that shows you care about others’ feelings and well-being. Showing respect for others include things like

• not calling people hurtful names

• using a polite tone even when you’re upset

• thinking about how whether what you want to do will hurt someone else.

要理解尊重的重要性，我们可以通过思考下面这个问题来明白：如果我们以不尊重的态度相互对待，生活会变成什么样子呢？既然尊重是关注我们的话语和行为是否会给别人带来不好的影响，用一句话来说，就是如果没有尊重，就没有人会关心自己的言行是否会带给别人伤害。这样，就有可能做出危险的，恶意的或者是轻慢他人的行为。

To understand why respect is important, think about what life would be like if we don’t treat each other with respect. Since respect is about caring whether our words and actions have a hurtful affect on other people, in a world without respect, no one would care whether they were hurting other people. They might do things that are dangerous or mean and not care if other people were harmed.

如果我们想要在这个社会中感觉安全并且生活得和平，我们每一个人都需要以尊重来相互对待。尊重很重要，因为我们以期待被别人对待的方式去对待别人。所以，如果我们不能友善地对待别人，我们怎么能期待别人以我们期望的方式对待我呢？

All of us in society need to treat each other with respect if we want to feel safe and live peacefully together. 

Respect is important because it means we treat others the way we want to be treated. So if we don’t treat others kindly, how can we expect them to be kind in return?
