“表达了一种态度”
用英语怎么说？

A seasoned clergyman once told a young preacher, 'More important than loving to preach is loving the people you are preaching to.' This means giving them a place to believe what they believe without making them feel like aliens. I witnessed two powerful examples of this. In one church, a man with far-right views was always welcomed because his love for the church was deep and strong. His different views were acknowledged with affectionate humor. In another case, a dying army veteran held strong conservative convictions. A man with opposing views visited him in the hospital. As the visitor left, he quietly changed the TV channel to the patient's preferred one. This simple act of human kindness made a statement stronger than any impassioned speech.

一位经验丰富的牧师曾告诉一位年轻的传道人：“比热爱讲道更重要的是，热爱你为之讲道的民众。”这意味着给他们一个空间，让他们可以持有自己的信仰，而不会感觉像外人。我亲眼目睹了两个有力的例子。在一个教堂里，一个持有极右观点的人总是受到欢迎，因为他对教会的爱既深厚又坚定。他不同的观点被大家用充满善意的幽默来对待。在另一个例子中，一位垂死的退伍军人持有坚定的保守信念。一个持相反的观点的人去医院探望他。访客离开时，他悄悄地将电视频道换成了病人偏爱的那一个。这个简单的人性的善良之举，比任何慷慨激昂的演说都更有力地表达了一种态度。
