语言和行为,是人类表达其大脑思维的主要方式。在人类刚刚从猿类脱胎换骨的远古时代,我以为那时一定是“言无忌”的,想说什么,想骂谁肯定是脱口而出;而且也一定是“行无矩”的,想干什么、想打谁就只管去做。后来随着人类的不断进化,穿上了衣服,盖上了房,人类就越来越文明起来,产生了一些人类社会应该共同遵守的语言和行为规范。到现在,据说英国人都是“绅士风度”,彼此彬彬有礼;中国是“礼仪之邦”,说话客客气气;日本人最有礼貌,见面就鞠躬致意。现在全世界几乎所有国家都把恶意辱骂别人以及对别人的行为粗暴视为不文明、不道德乃至违犯法律的现象,要受到全社会的谴责和法律的制裁。这是人类进化的结果,它保证了我们彼此共同生活而不受伤害,而且从中可以追寻到每个民族文化的历史渊源。 Language and behavior are the main ways humans express their brains. In the ancient times when mankind had just reborn from apes, I thought it must have been “speechless” at that time. I wanted to say something and I wanted to scold who must have been blurted out. And it must be “practicing nothing.” Who can fight to just do it. Later, with the continuous evolution of mankind, putting on clothes and putting on a room, human beings became more and more civilized, generating some language and codes of conduct that human beings should abide by. Up till now, it is said that the British are all “gentlemen’s gentlemen,” and are courteous to each other. China is a “state of ceremonies.” They are very polite. The Japanese are most polite and bow to greet each other. Almost all the countries in the world now regard the abuse of others as malicious and their outrageous acts of others as uncivilized, immoral or even violating the law, and they must be condemned by the whole society and sanctioned by law. This is the result of human evolution, which guarantees that we live together without harming each other, and from which we can trace the historical origins of each national culture.
