题目：DO ACTIONS, NOT WORDS, REVEAL A person OR GROUP'S ATTITUDES AND

INTENTIONS?

庄子答卷：

Both actions and words reveal attitudes and intentions

The true attiduteds and intentions of an individual person or a group of

individuals will be not easily discovered if the person or the group

calculatedly covers or hides them. The complexity of human beings is that they

are able to deceive others. However, both the words and the actions reveal some

of their true intentions, inclinations, and attitudes, depending on the

knowledge, experience, and wisdom of the perceiver.

Words are able to convey the true attitudes. But at the same time, words can

be well used as a means to deceive others or to hide the true intentions of the

speaker. This is not necessarily lies. When one peroson or a gourp of persons

clearly and unequivocally articulate his or their attitudes towards one or a

series of social, economic, cultural, or religion problems, these words are used

perfectly to convey the thoughts. For instance, when the Chinese president Hu

Jintao clealry claimed that the problems in Tibet fall in the scope of Chinese

domestic political and cultural issues, these words reveal the attitudes of his

administration. But not in all cases humans are willing to entirely and clearly

express their attitudes in the form of speeches or words. Under such conditions,

words might lead the audiences to go astray. For example, in many cases, when a

Chinese girl receives a bandle of rose from her boy friend, she will not use

words in literal means. Rather she, not calculatedly, prefers to use words in

figurative or even ambiguous senses. A particular but typical sentence in such

case is “I hate you”. Paradoxically, when girls say the words, their actions

show that they love the boys.

As far as the relationship between actions and true attitudes is concerned,

the role actions play are not much different from those of words. That is to

say, the actions of a person and a group of persons have two opposite functions.

On the one hand they might reflect or mirror the true intention or inclination.

This is much common among children. When a child cries, the baby is not

satisfied. But in the field of political affairs, the situation might be totally

reverased. For instance, when the Chinese King of Han Dynasity cried in front of

his crew, he conveyed a complex sense and sensibility, attempting to cover not

reveal his true attitude.

As the means of conveyance or communication, both human language and human

behavior have at least double functions. Therefore, it is presumptuous to

conclude that actions reveal the true attitude while the words have no such a

function. The fact is that the true attitudes or intentions of human beings can

only be revealed by those who have rich experience, wisdom, and knowledge in

language, psychology, and the like.

备用例子：

Another case in point is that when the great lecturer cried two hundred years

ago: “Is life so dear? Or peace so sweet? Even to be purchased at the price of

slavery and chains?...to give me the liberty or to give me the death!” He

clearly stated his point that the people must work together, pray together, and

struggle together to build the new country, an independent and interdependent

sovereingty. This case once again demonstrates the power of words in expressing

the attitudes of a group.
