It is true that discipline and order are essential to a gracious society , and strict rules are needed to ensure that people behave well . yet the best guarantee for civilised conduct lies rather in good habits of the population 实行严格法治,对人的行为进行调整和规范,并由此培养出人们讲秩序,守纪律的习惯无疑是最有效的途径。
He wanted to allow himself a little more time to pick the right financial instruments for ks , at least after he had had the chance to wake up his london contacts at a more civilised hour and check a few things 选择适当的金融工具，至少要待他有机会找到伦敦方面的联络人搞清楚几件事才可作决定，不过现在不好意思吵醒人，还是迟一点吧。
They liked to imagine the inhabitants of the new continent “ as denizens of a golden age of sylvan innocence , or as implausibly superior savages ? moral exempla for the implicit chastisement of civilised vice 后者乐于见到新大陆的居住者是“森林精灵黄金时代的居民，或是难以置信的高等蛮人? ?作为例证，说明了对受过教化的恶习不容置疑的惩罚” 。

No doubt , through interactions among themselves , most singaporeans have formed habits of civilised conduct . yet the long years of rule by law have made them dependent on decrees and bans to know their dos and don ' ts . hence the call for banning dogs from a park and for restricting the import of pets 然而,长期的法治生活,铸造了新加坡人特有的素质,凡事都要通过法规和社会政策引导,如建议“禁止携狗进入植物园” “严格限制宠物狗入口”等等。
That the civilisation of all nations , the culture of the whole globe , forms a task imposed on the whole human race , is evident from those unalterable laws of nature by which civilised nations are driven on with irresistible power to extend or transfer their powers of production to less cultivated countries 对一切国家、对整个世界进行教化，是全人类应该共向担当的任务，从那些不变的自然法则来看，这一点是显然的，文明国家彼不可抗拒的势力所推动，不得不把它们的生产力扩大或移转到文化比较落后的国家。
Jane , i excuse you for the present : two months grace i allow you for the full enjoyment of your new position , and for pleasing yourself with this late - found charm of relationship ; but then , i hope you will begin to look beyond moor house and morton , and sisterly society , and the selfish calm and sensual comfort of civilised affluence “简，我暂时谅解你，给你两个月的宽限，充分享受你新职位的乐趣，也为最近找到亲戚而陶醉一番。但以后，我希望你开始把眼光放远些，不要光盯着沼泽居和莫尔顿，盯着姐妹圈子，盯着自己的宁静，盯着文明富裕所带来的肉体享受。
Before this ugly edifice , and between it and the wheel - track of the street , was a grass - plot , much overgrown with burdock , pig - weed , apple - peru , and such unsightly vegetation , which evidently found something congenial in the soil that had so early borne the black flower of civilised society , a prison 从这座丑陋的大房子门前，一直到轧着车辙的街道，有一片草地，上面过于繁茂地簇生着牛蒡茨藜毒莠等等这类不堪入目的杂草，这些杂草显然在这块土地上找到了共通的东西，因为正是在这块土地上早早便诞生了文明社会的那栋黑花监狱。
He vividly recollected when the occurrence alluded to took place as well as yesterday , some score of years previously , in the days of the land troubles when it took the civilised world by storm , figuratively speaking , early in the eighties , eightyone to be correct , when he was just turned fifteen 他清清楚楚地记起刚才被提及的那档子事，犹如昨天才发生的那么真切。那是二十来年前的事啦，打个比喻来说，是土地纠纷像风暴般席卷文明世界的年头是八十年代初，说得准确些，八一年，那时他才十五岁。
A clearer insight into the nature of wealth and industry has led the wiser heads of all civilised nations to the conviction that both the civilisation of barbarous and semi - barbarous nations , and of those whose culture is retrograding , as well as the formation of colonies , offer to civilised nations a field for the development of their productive powers which promises them much richer and safer fruits than mutual hostilities by wars or restrictions on trade 一切文明国家比较开明的首脑，对于财富与工业的本质作了进一步深入观察以后，已经确信，对未开化、半开化或文化在衰退中的国家进行的教化工作和殖民地的形成，为文明国家提供了发展生产力的场所，而这比战争的相互敌对行动或贸易限制能提供更丰硕更安全的果实。
