On Words
Guidance for Reciting
You dropped them rather easily but you cannot retrieve them，so be very careful in choosing your words.
W ords have a magical power. They can bring either the greatest happiness or deepest despair；can transfer knowledge from teacher to students. Words enable the orator to sway his audience and dictate its decisions. Words are capable of arousing the strongest emotions and prompting all man's actions. Do not ridicule the use of words in psychotherapy.

关于言辞
诵读导言
你的话语可以轻易地说出口，但你却不能将它们收回，所以你出言要谨慎。
言辞具有不可思议的力量。它们能带来最大的幸福，也能带来最深的失望；能把知识从教师传给学生。言辞能使演说者左右他的听众，并强行代替他们做出决定。言辞能激起最大强烈的情感，促进人的一切行动。不要嘲笑言辞在心理治疗当中的用途。
口语点津
英语中有许多关于言行的妙语，这里列举一二：
Action speaks louder than words. 行动胜于空言。
Easier said than done. 说来容易做来难。
First think，and then speak. 先思而后言。
He that talks much errs much. 言多必失。
Kind words are the music of the world. 善言乃世上之音乐。
Many words cut more than swords. 刀剑伤人犹可治，恶语伤人不好医。
Speech is the mirror of the soul，as a man speaks，so he is. 言语是灵魂的镜子，言如其人。
