题目解答
答案
1. “Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.” 对应“己所不欲，勿施于人”（b）。此句倡导“恕道”，体现仁爱精神。
2. “I am not sure that anyone who does not make good on their word is viable as a person.” 对应“人而无信，不知其可也”（c）。此句强调诚信的重要性，认为无信则无法立身。
3. “If you do not study the rituals, you will find yourself at a loss how to take your stand.” 对应“不学礼，无以立”（a）。此句说明学礼是立身之本，缺乏礼仪则难以立足社会。
