"私たちがそれらを理解できなければ世界で最も美しい言葉もただの無駄な音です"
— Anatole France
Simplified Meaning:
Beautiful words become meaningless if we don't know what they mean. Imagine someone giving a speech in a language you do not speak. Even if the speech is full of grand and poetic phrases, it won’t have any impact on you because you don’t understand it. It’s similar to reading a book with complex vocabulary without knowing the definitions—those words won't make sense to you and cannot help you. Another example is when people use fancy language to impress others, but they come off as confusing instead. To truly connect with others and share ideas, it's important that the words are clear and understandable. So, when communicating, it's better to use simple language that everyone can grasp rather than complicated words that might confuse or alienate your audience.
