peer agreement (net): +1| respect boundaries 節度を保つ Explanation: 「境界（線）」は確かに使いますし、ご質問の英語にはぴったりなのですが、ぴったりな理由はこの表現が英語から来ているからではないかと思います。日本古来の概念を表わすのは「節度を保つ」あるいは「分（身分）をわきまえる」ではないでしょうか。つまり相手の領分との境目を意識するよりは、自分のやって良い範囲を意識するということです。 |

| respect boundaries 礼儀を守る Explanation: We have a saying "親しき仲にも礼儀あり" in Japanese as you say "A hedge between keeps friendship green. or Good fences make good neighbors." The word "boundaries" you mentioned seems to be "hedge" or "fences" in these English sayings. Therefore, I would suggest "礼儀を守る" for your question. Hope it would help you. |

peer agreement (net): +1| respect boundaries 親しき仲にも礼儀あり Explanation: 一言で上手く言い得たことわざだと思いますが、いかがでしょうか。 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 hrs (2018-07-18 04:38:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 送信してから、他の方の説明にこのことわざが使用されているのに気づきました。すみません。しかしながら、『「親しき仲にも礼儀あり」というように』などと引用して用いることが多いため、ご参考になれば幸いです。 Reference: http://kotowaza-allguide.com/si/shitashikinakanireigi.html Reference: http://www.tedukurikotoba.com/entry/1004.html |

| respect boundaries 礼節をわきまえる Explanation: 礼節=礼儀＋節度 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1日 12時間 (2018-07-18 16:53:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 最初は「節度」が適切かと考えましたがやや意味が広い。「節度ある呑み方」なんて使い方もできますね。そこで「礼儀」の方がよろしいかな、とも思いましたがこの場合は「節度」も捨てがたい。というわけで「礼節」が閃き(？)ました。 |
