a well-known phrase that expresses something that is usually true or that people think is a rule for sensible behaviour 格言；箴言；座右铭 Extra ExamplesThere is some truth in the old maxim, ‘You get what you pay for.’ 常言说得好：“一分钱一分货。” As the old maxim goes, ‘A picture is worth a thousand words’. 就像一句古老的格言所说的：“一图胜千言。” If you follow a few simple maxims, your business should be a success. 依照几条简单的准则行事，你的生意就会成功。 The golden rule is to pay attention. The same maxim applies to parenting. 黄金法则是要留心注意，同样的原则也适用于养育子女。
