Chivalrous意思

"Chivalrous" 是一個英文形容詞，源自於中世紀的騎士精神（chivalry），原意是指中世紀騎士的道德和行為準則，包括勇敢、忠誠、禮貌、尊重女性、保護弱者等美德。現在，"chivalrous" 通常用來形容一個人具有騎士般的品德，特別是對女性表現出禮貌、尊重和保護的行為。

例如： "He held the door open for the lady with a chivalrous gesture."（他做出一個騎士般的舉動，為那位女士開門。）

Chivalrous behavior can include:

  1. Opening doors for others, especially for women.
  2. Giving up one's seat to someone who needs it more.
  3. Showing respect and courtesy to women, the elderly, and the less able.
  4. Being gallant and attentive in social situations.
  5. Standing up for what is right and defending the weak.

In modern usage, the term "chivalrous" is often associated with old-fashioned manners and can sometimes be used to describe behavior that is seen as outdated or overly formal by some people. However, many still value chivalrous behavior as a sign of good manners and respect.
