摘要：Although she often disagreed with me, she was always courteous. (尽管她经常与我意见相左，但她总是彬彬有礼。) [剑桥高级学者辞典]

形容词courteous的含义是“有礼貌的、恭敬的、谦恭的、尊重人的”，如

【例句1】The hotel staff are friendly and courteous. （酒店工作人员友好有礼。） [剑桥高级学者辞典]

【例句2】Although she often disagreed with me, she was always courteous. (尽管她经常与我意见相左，但她总是彬彬有礼。) [剑桥高级学者辞典]

【例句3】He was a kind and courteous man. (他是个善良有礼貌的人) [柯林斯高级学者词典]

【例句4】My friend's reply was courteous but firm. （我朋友的回答礼貌而坚定。） [柯林斯高级学者词典]

注意courteous的读音接近“磕踢呃斯”，第一个音节明显不同于court。
