当然在全球政局比较动荡的年代，我们也听到过过诸如，是可忍孰不可忍、悬崖勒马以及勿谓言之不预等较强烈的外交辞令。其中“勿谓言之不预”意为，不要说没有事先跟你说过。指把话说在前面，也就是警告对方事后别后悔。
dāngrán zài quánqiú zhèngjú bǐjiào dòngdàng de niándài ，wǒmen yě tīngdào guo guò zhūrú ，shì kě rěn shú bù kě rěn 、xuányálèmǎ yǐjí wù wèi yán zhī bù yù děng jiào qiángliè de wàijiāo cílìng 。qízhōng “wù wèi yán zhī bù yù ”yì wèi ，bù yào shuō méiyǒu shìxiān gēn nǐ shuō guò 。zhǐ bǎ huà shuō zài qiánmian ，yějiùshì jǐnggào duìfāng shìhòu bié hòuhuǐ 。
Of course in an era with a relatively tumultuous political climate, I've also heard stronger diplomatic rhetoric like, "是可忍孰不可忍", meaning "If this is permissible, what isn't permissible?", "悬崖勒马", an idiom mean "to avert disaster in the nick of time" and "无谓言之不预“ meaning, "we have already given fair warning". Suggesting that something has already been said, as a warning to someone else not to regret their actions afterward.

没错！为什么中国人，中国皇帝都这么尊崇孔子呢？因为孔子不仅是一位教育家，更是一位思想家。他是儒家思想的创始人，提出了“仁”的思想。他说“己所不欲，勿施于人”，意思是自己不想要的东西或者不想做的事，也不要强加给别人。儒家思想影响了中国封建社会几千年。

That's right! Why is it that Chinese people, and the Chinese Emperor, venerate Confucius so much? This is because Confucius was not only an educator, but he was great thinker as well. He was the founder of the Confucian school of thought and put forth the idea of 'ren', or benevolence. He said, “What you do not wish for yourself, do not impose upon others.” Meaning that anything you wouldn't want for yourself, or anything you wouldn't do yourself, you shouldn't force upon other people. The Confucian school of thought influenced Chinese feudal society for thousands of years.
