楷模

She's a pattern of all the virtues.

她是一切美德的。

"At least, they shall say of me," thought this exemplary man, "that I leave no public duty unperformed, nor ill performed!"

“至少，他们在谈起我时，”这位为的自忖，“会认为裁并非未尽公职或草草了事！”

If the error is a matter of opinion and unpunishable, so much the better —an apology then becomes a gracious and creditable occasion, and an example to all.

如果过错是看法上的事，并且错不当罚，那最好不过――说一声“对不起”就成了一个度的机会，可赞可叹，众之也。
