Speak volumes.
/spik ˈvɑːljəmz/
成語「Speak volumes」用來形容某人嘅行動或者某件事嘅結果,可以清楚同大聲咁表達某種訊息或性質,好似啲行動或結果自己已經講咗好多嘢噉。喺香港,我哋經常可以見到呢個表達方式,特別係講到人嘅品行或者企業嘅品牌形象。例如,一間公司如果堅持使用環保材料,呢個行為就「Speak volumes」關於佢哋對可持續發展嘅承諾。又或者,一個政治領袖喺公共事件中嘅處理方式,可以「Speak volumes」佢嘅領導風格同道德觀。喺生活當中,我們每一件小事都可能在不經意間透露出我哑嘅價值觀同個性。例如,一個人如何對待服務員,往往可以反映出佢對人嘅尊重同同理心。因此,學習點樣從日常行為中讀取更深層嘅信息,對於理解他人同自我成長都非常有幫助。
