所谓榜样，是那些可以让自己得学习的人或事物，是仿效的楷模,是某种道德理想的集中体现。
只有那些能给予你未来一段时间生活方向，能让你主动去模仿的人，才叫做合格的榜样。
那么你知道“榜样”用英语怎么说?大家来和小航一起来学习下吧！
1. 榜样 英文怎么说?
role model “榜样”
英语解释为an individual whose behavior serves as an exemplar to others。
例
I mean, maybe you could have been a better role model when she was young,
but she never really had a chance.
可能她小的时候你可以起到更好的榜样作用，
不过她从未真正有过机会。
That would make me a criminal and a pretty terrible role model to impressionable youth such as youself.
那样我可是会被抓去坐牢的，
也给你这样的优秀儿童做了坏榜样。

set an example “树立榜样，以身作则”

other will or should emulate。
set an example for sb. “为……树立榜样”
例
I've tried so hard to set a good example.

Parents should set an example for their children.

follow the example of 的意思是："以...为榜样"
