【适用场合】
今天节目中，我们来学习一下这里take the high road的用法；
我们先来看看对应的英文解释：
to choose the most noble, ethical, or diplomatic course or method, especially after or in the face of negativity or ill treatment
“采用道德高尚、正直的行为方式，尤其是在遭受不好的待遇以后”或者“堂堂正正地、光明磊落地做人做事”；

eg: He took the high road in his campaign.
他在竞选活动中，光明磊落，以德服人。

eg: Strive to always take the high road when dealing with others, even if they've treated you unfairly in the past. Life has a habit of rewarding those who learn to turn the other cheek.
跟人打交道时，要努力以德服人，即使对方曾对你有过不公。生活总会奖励那些忍辱负重、宽容大度的人。

eg: Of course, the antiwar demonstrators think they're taking the moral high road.
当然了，那些反战示威者觉得他们行得正坐得端。

eg: The diplomats say their president is likely to take the high road in his statements about trade.
那些外交官们说，他们的总统有可能会在贸易方面的声明中采取最积极慎重的立场。

那么相反的，口语中take the low road指的是：
采取那种不道德的、不诚实的方法去做事；

eg: Meanwhile, it was revealed that his campaign was gearing up to take the low road with its own attack ads.
与此同时，有人爆料称，他的竞选团队准备不择手段去处理掉那些攻击性政治宣传。

eg: It's unfair that those who work the hardest will be undermined by those who choose to take the low road to success.
那些最努力工作的人却会被那些为了成功不择手段的人给坑，太不公平了。
