206. "People are too quick to take action; instead they should stop to think of the possible consequences of what they might do."人们现在太急于采取行动，实际上人们应该先停下来考虑一下他们这么做可能导致的结果。

2. It might not be too difficult to persuade people to consider the possible impacts of their actions on themselves.

1. Turning first to the way people look and dress, certain aspects of the outward appearance of a culture’s people do inform us of their ideas, attitudes and values.
2. The habits, rituals and lifestyles of a culture often do provide accurate signals about its values.
