【范文】

An old saying goes that “Treat other people as you hope they will treat you”. Likewise, if we want to be respected by others, we need to respect others first, which is one of the traditional virtues in China.

I suppose that respecting others is one of the most vital ways to win others’ respect for the following reasons. For one thing, keeping respect to others is the first step for people to communicate with each other, and one will gain equivalent respect in return from others. For another, respecting others is not only a basic morality throughout our lives, but also a traditional Chinese virtue which we should always remember and inherit. What’s more, respect is a mutual process witnessed by the whole world in terms of diplomacy. Bilateral relations have made continuous progress based on mutual respect of sovereignty and territorial integrity since the establishment of Sino-US diplomatic relations.

Respect plays such a crucial part in our life. Only by respecting others, can we win others’ respect and create a harmonious society for all mankind.

【参考译文】

有句老话说到“像你希望别人对你的那样去对待别人”。同样地，如果我们想要得到别人的尊重，我们首先要尊重别人，这是中国的传统美德之一。

我认为，尊重他人是赢得他人尊重的最重要途径之一。一方面，保持对他人的尊重是人们相互交流的第一步，相应地，人们也会从他人身上获得同等尊重。另一方面，尊重他人不仅是我们一生的基本道德准则，也是我们应该永远铭记和继承的中国传统美德。进一步说，尊重是整个世界外交见证的互利共赢的方法。中美建交以来，两国关系在相互尊重主权和领土完整的基础上不断取得进展。

尊重在我们的生活中起着至关重要的作用，尊重他人，才能赢得他人的尊重，为全人类创造一个和谐的社会。
