These words can be used to effectively describe and modify someone's actions, behavior, or conduct, conveying their qualities or characteristics. It is important to use these words appropriately and in the right context to convey the intended meaning. For example, positive words include such adjectives as calm, polite, gracious, humble, and gracious, and negative words include such adjectives as reckless, jumpy, panicky, noisy, annoyed, lazy, worried, and anxious.</p><p class="ql-block">These words remind me of similar expressions and idioms in my native language: Chinese. According to various sources, there are estimated to be tens of thousands of idioms in Chinese. Some sources suggest that there are around 20,000 to 30,000 commonly used idioms, while others claim the number exceeds 50,000. It's important to note that not all idioms are actively used, and many are more commonly encountered in written texts, literature, or specific contexts.</p><p class="ql-block">Personally, I have learned a few of them, perhaps less than 1,000, which would be considered a moderate level of familiarity among intellectuals. These amounts do not include general words besides idioms.</p><p class="ql-block">However, only the amount of vocabulary mastered is not the sole factor in personal cultivation. Knowledge, demeanor, attitude, manners, speech, wisdom, and expression are crucial aspects to consider.</p><p class="ql-block">One of my favorite Chinese poems is by Su Shi, a sage poet from the Song Dynasty. He wrote, “Wrap your life in rough clothes; have a poetic and scholarly spirit within.” The essence of the poem lies in the second half of the sentence, expressed through a four-character idiom that roughly as translated in “腹詩(shī)氣華” means “poetry is inside, but talent and splendor are outward” .</p><p class="ql-block">This idiom beautifully captures the essence of refining one's demeanor. It reminds us that true elegance and charisma stem not only from outward appearances but also from the inner reservoirs of talent and wisdom. Our actions, attitude, and speech reflect our internal cultivation and character.</p><p class="ql-block">By nurturing our inner selves, we cultivate genuine wisdom, emotional intelligence, and creativity, which naturally radiate through our external . It is crucial, therefore, to focus on expanding our knowledge, fostering the right attitude, practicing good manners, and continually honing our communication skills. Only through comprehensive cultivation in these areas can we truly become individuals who possess both inner substance and external grace.</p><p class="ql-block">Cultivating an elegant demeanor primarily comes from cultural knowledge, reading, and continuous learning. I have devoted a significant amount of time and energy to studying in the first half of my life, and I am determined to continue studying diligently in the years to come."</p> <p class="ql-block">2023 年 5 月 19 日</p><p class="ql-block">我最喜歡的修飾人風(fēng)度的成語(yǔ)</p><p class="ql-block">我很高興最近學(xué)習(xí)了一些英語(yǔ)詞匯。這些詞可以用來有效地描述和修飾某人的行為、舉止或舉止，傳達(dá)他們的品質(zhì)或特征。重要的是在正確的上下文中適當(dāng)?shù)厥褂眠@些詞來傳達(dá)預(yù)期的含義。例如，正面詞包括冷靜、禮貌、親切、謙虛和親切等形容詞，負(fù)面詞包括魯莽、神經(jīng)質(zhì)、恐慌、嘈雜、惱怒、懶惰、擔(dān)心和焦慮等形容詞。</p><p class="ql-block">這些詞讓我想起了我的母語(yǔ)：漢語(yǔ)中類似的表達(dá)和成語(yǔ)。根據(jù)各種資料，估計(jì)漢語(yǔ)中有數(shù)以萬計(jì)的成語(yǔ)。一些消息來源表明，大約有 20,000 到 30,000 個(gè)常用習(xí)語(yǔ)，而其他人則聲稱這個(gè)數(shù)字超過 50,000 個(gè)。請(qǐng)務(wù)必注意，并非所有習(xí)語(yǔ)都被積極使用，許多習(xí)語(yǔ)在書面文本、文學(xué)作品或特定上下文中更常見。</p><p class="ql-block">我個(gè)人學(xué)過幾個(gè)，大概不到1000個(gè)，在知識(shí)分子中也算是中等水平了。這些數(shù)量不包括習(xí)語(yǔ)以外的一般詞。</p><p class="ql-block">但是，僅僅掌握詞匯量并不是個(gè)人修養(yǎng)的唯一因素。知識(shí)、舉止、態(tài)度、舉止、言語(yǔ)、智慧和表達(dá)是需要考慮的重要方面。</p><p class="ql-block">我最喜歡的中國(guó)詩(shī)歌之一是宋代圣人蘇軾的詩(shī)歌。他寫道：“用粗糙的衣服包裹你的生活；有一種詩(shī)意和學(xué)術(shù)精神。”這首詩(shī)的精髓在于后半句，用一個(gè)四字成語(yǔ)表達(dá)出來，大致譯為“腹詩(shī)氣華”，意思是“內(nèi)有詩(shī)，外有才氣”。</p><p class="ql-block">這個(gè)成語(yǔ)很好地抓住了修身養(yǎng)性的精髓。它提醒我們，真正的優(yōu)雅和魅力不僅來自外表，還來自內(nèi)在的才華和智慧。我們的一舉一動(dòng)、態(tài)度、言談反映了我們的內(nèi)在修養(yǎng)和性格。</p><p class="ql-block">通過培養(yǎng)我們的內(nèi)在自我，我們培養(yǎng)了真正的智慧、情商和創(chuàng)造力，它們會(huì)通過我們的外在表達(dá)自然而然地散發(fā)出來。因此，重要的是要專注于擴(kuò)展我們的知識(shí)，培養(yǎng)正確的態(tài)度，養(yǎng)成良好的舉止，并不斷磨練我們的溝通技巧。只有在這些方面全面修煉，我們才能真正成為內(nèi)質(zhì)外貌兼?zhèn)涞娜恕?lt;/p><p class="ql-block">修養(yǎng)風(fēng)采，主要來自文化知識(shí)、閱讀和不斷學(xué)習(xí)。我在前半生投入了大量的時(shí)間和精力在學(xué)習(xí)上，我決心在未來的歲月里繼續(xù)努力學(xué)習(xí)?！?lt;/p>
