    Kindliness is the quality of being kind and caring toward other people. It names a whole manner, not one favour: a gentle, lasting way of treating others.

    Kindliness是kindliness指 the quality of being kind and caring toward other people對別人親切又關懷的那種特質。It它 names a whole manner說的是整體的態度, not one favour不是一件好事:a gentle, lasting way of treating others一種溫和、持久對待別人的方式。

    You meet it in stories, older books, and careful praise — when someone wants to talk about a person's soft heart, not a single good deed. It is not slang, and it is not a hard legal word; it just sounds a little literary.

    You你 meet it會在 in stories, older books, and careful praise故事、老書和斟酌過的讚美裡遇到它——when有人 someone wants to talk about a person's soft heart想談一個人柔軟的心, not a single good deed而不是一件好事的時候。It它 is not slang不是俚語, and而 it is not a hard legal word也不是生硬的法律用詞; it只是 just sounds a little literary聽起來比較文雅。

    A kindliness that fills a room is warmth you can feel. It never means “sort” or “type” (that is another use of kind), and it has nothing to do with fire.

    A kindliness that fills a room一種充滿整個房間的kindliness是 is warmth you can feel是你感受得到的溫暖。It它 never means “sort” or “type”從來不表示「種類」 (that is another use of kind那是kind的另一個用法), and而且 it has nothing to do with fire也跟火完全沒關係。
