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

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.
