第一, 迷你对话
A: You have led an interesting life.

你生活很精彩啊。

B: Well, I have had my challenges.

嗯,我经历过很多挑战。

A: How did you make it through the hard times?

你如何克服艰难的时候了。

B: “Live and let live.” is my motto.

“推己及人”是我的座右铭。

第二, 地道表达

live and let live

1. 解词释义

Live是生活的意思,let live是让别人过日子的意思。从字面上来看,该句的意思是“自己过日子,也让别人过日子”,比喻“推己及人”的意思。

2. 拓展范例

e.g. My room-mate has many irritating habits but I just live and let live to keep the peace.

我的室友有许多惹人讨厌的习惯,但是为了相安无事,我能容忍的尽可能容忍。
e.g. People shall never get anywhere with all this criticism and fault finding. I believe in the principle "Live and let live."
人们用这一套吹毛求疵的办法是行不通的。我相信“互相宽容”的原则。

第三, 咬文嚼字

lead a life:生活

e.g. I mean from henceforth to lead a life of extreme seclusion.

我决定从今天起将过一种完全与世隔绝的生活。

e.g. You can lead a life of undisturbed peace ever afterwards.

你今后能安安静静地过日子,无人登门打扰。

through hard times:度过艰难的时候

e.g. More than once they helped us through hard times.

他们不止一次帮助我们度过难关。
