humility    音标拼音: [hjum'ɪlɪti]
n. 谦逊,谦虚,谦卑

谦逊,谦虚,谦卑

humility
n 1: a disposition to be humble; a lack of false pride; "not
everyone regards humility as a virtue" [synonym: {humility},
{humbleness}] [ant: {conceit}, {conceitedness}, {vanity}]
2: a humble feeling; "he was filled with humility at the sight
of the Pope" [synonym: {humility}, {humbleness}] [ant: {pride},
{pridefulness}]

Humility \Hu*mil"i*ty\, n.; pl. {Humilities}. [OE. humilite, OF.
humilit['e], humelit['e], F. humilit['e], fr. L. humiliatis.
See {Humble}.]
1. The state or quality of being humble; freedom from pride
and arrogance; lowliness of mind; a modest estimate of
one's own worth; a sense of one's own unworthiness through
imperfection and sinfulness; self-abasement; humbleness.
[1913 Webster]

Serving the Lord with all humility of mind. --Acts
xx. 19.
[1913 Webster]

2. An act of submission or courtesy.
[1913 Webster]

With these humilities they satisfied the young king.
--Sir J.
Davies.

Syn: Lowliness; humbleness; meekness; modesty; diffidence.

Usage: {Humility}, {Modesty}, {Diffidence}. Diffidence is a
distrust of our powers, combined with a fear lest our
failure should be censured, since a dread of failure
unconnected with a dread of censure is not usually
called diffidence. It may be carried too far, and is
not always, like modesty and humility, a virtue.
Modesty, without supposing self-distrust, implies an
unwillingness to put ourselves forward, and an absence
of all over-confidence in our own powers. Humility
consists in rating our claims low, in being willing to
waive our rights, and take a lower place than might be
our due. It does not require of us to underrate
ourselves.
[1913 Webster]


Upland \Up"land\, a.
1. Of or pertaining to uplands; being on upland; high in
situation; as, upland inhabitants; upland pasturage.
[1913 Webster]

Sometimes, with secure delight
The upland hamlets will invite. --Milton.
[1913 Webster]

2. Pertaining to the country, as distinguished from the
neighborhood of towns; rustic; rude; unpolished. [Obs.W2]
" The race of upland giants." --Chapman.
[1913 Webster]

{Upland moccasin}. (Zool.) See {Moccasin}.

{Upland sandpiper}, or {Upland plover} (Zool.), a large
American sandpiper ({Bartramia longicauda}) much valued as
a game bird. Unlike most sandpipers, it frequents fields
and uplands. Called also {Bartramian sandpiper},
{Bartram's tattler}, {field plover}, {grass plover},
{highland plover}, {hillbird}, {humility}, {prairie
plover}, {prairie pigeon}, {prairie snipe}, {papabote},
{quaily}, and {uplander}.

{Upland sumach} (Bot.), a North American shrub of the genus
Rhus ({Rhus glabra}), used in tanning and dyeing.
[1913 Webster]

Humility
a prominent Christian grace (Rom. 12:3; 15:17, 18; 1 Cor. 3:5-7;
2 Cor. 3:5; Phil. 4:11-13). It is a state of mind well pleasing
to God (1 Pet. 3:4); it preserves the soul in tranquillity (Ps.
69:32, 33), and makes us patient under trials (Job 1:22).

Christ has set us an example of humility (Phil. 2:6-8). We
should be led thereto by a remembrance of our sins (Lam. 3:39),
and by the thought that it is the way to honour (Prov. 16:18),
and that the greatest promises are made to the humble (Ps.
147:6; Isa. 57:15; 66:2; 1 Pet. 5:5). It is a "great paradox in
Christianity that it makes humility the avenue to glory."
