道德（规程）:即将推出
作为一名新的联邦政府雇员，我心情复杂，既兴奋又焦虑，因为要达到政府为他们的工作人员定下的严格的言行标准并非易事。 害怕犯下会造成重大损失的错误，我决定好好读一下《联邦办公室工作人员管理》网页上面的规程和标准。 当我点开一个页面时，我不确定我是担心还是松一下气，上面写着：“道德（规程）：即将推出”。
- You must show discretion in choosing your friend.你择友时必须慎重。
- Please use your best discretion to handle the matter.请慎重处理此事。
- It must be very costly to keep up a house like this.维修这么一幢房子一定很昂贵。
- This dictionary is very useful,only it is a bit costly.这本词典很有用，左不过贵了些。
