The words we use have a powerful and lasting effect on everyone around us
★ 我们的说话遣词对身边每个人都会带来强烈且持久的影响 ★
A popular children’s nursery rhyme goes? “Sticks and stones may break my bones? but words will never hurt me.” That’s not really true? though? is it? Words have the power to build us up or tear us down . It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves – the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
一首广為流传的童谣这麼说：「棍棒和石头或许会打断我骨头，可是话语永远伤不了我。」不过，这话其实不对，不是吗?话语能够鼓励我们或打击我们，不论这些话语来自别人或我们自己，其正面和负面的影响都同样持久。
