问题   Good manners are the art of making those easy with whom we converse. Whoever makes the fewest persons uneasy is the best bred in the company.
  As the best law is founded upon reason, so are the best manners. And as some lawyers have introduced unreasonable things into common law, so likewise many teachers have introduced absurd things into common good manners.
  One principal point of this art is to suit our behaviour to the three several degrees of men; our superiors, our equals, and those below us. For instance, to press either of the two former to eat or drink is a breach of manners; but a farmer or a tradesman must be thus treated, or else it will be difficult to persuade them that they are welcome. Pride, iii nature, and want of sense, are the three great sources of iii manners; without some one of these defects, no man will behave himself iii for want of experience; or of what, in the language of fools, is called knowing the world. I defy any one to assign an incident wherein reason will not direct us what we are to say or do in company, if we are not misled by pride or nature.
选项
答案礼貌是使和我们交谈的人安之若素的一种艺术。在一群人中，谁越不使人感到局促不安，谁就越有教养。 最公正的法律是建立在理智之上的，同样，最好的举止行为也是建立在理智之上的。有的律师将无理的东西引进了普通法，同样，许多教师也将怪诞的东西引进了日常的良好礼貌。 礼貌艺术的一大要素是，以适当的举止行为对待三种不同层次的人，即高于自己层次的、与自己同一层次的和低于自己层次的人。例如，硬要前两种层次的人吃菜喝酒是失礼的，但是农夫和商贩必须如此对待，否则就无法使他们相信他们并非不速之客。骄傲自大、性情粗暴、缺乏理智是有失礼貌的三太原因。如果能革除这些弊病，没有人会因为缺乏经验，或者，如某些愚人所说，因为不谙世故而礼貌不周。要不是受到骄傲情绪或粗暴性情的误导，理智总会指引我们与人交往时谈吐得体，举止适度，我敢断言，没有人能举出一个与此相悖的事例来。
