文质彬彬·每日好词语｜人道

　　人道

　　指人类社会必须遵循的行为规范（与“天道”相对），也是人类社会得以维持和运行的关系及法则。近代以后，西学东渐，它演变为以尊重和关爱人的生命、幸福、尊严、自由、个性发展等为原则的行为规范和权利。

　　Way of Man

　　The way of man refers to the code of conduct that people must observe and also the relations and norms that keep human society on the right track. The way of man stands in contrast to the way of heaven. When Western culture was introduced to China in modern times, the term gained the meaning of respect and care for people's lives, well-being, dignity, freedom, and individuality.

　　引例  天道远，人道迩。（《左传·昭公十八年》）（自然规律遥远莫测，人类社会的运行规则切近可循。意指所谓的“天道”与“人道”没有必然联系。）

　　The way of heaven is far away; the way of man is near. (Zuo's Commentary on The Spring and Autumn Annals)
