in this sense it is not a pleonasm to say, as many have, that the morally virtuous life is the good or best life. 在这个意义上它不是一种重复，正如许多人认为的道德上有德行的生活是好的或最好的生活。
Pleonasm (/ˈpliːənæzəm/; Greek: πλεονασμός, pleonasmos, from πλέον, pleon, "more; too much") is the use of more words or parts of words than is necessary or sufficient for clear expression: examples are black darkness, burning fire, or people's democracy. Such redundancy is, by traditional rhetorical criteria, a manifestation of tautology. That being said, one may employ pleonasm for emphasis, or because the phrase has already become established in a certain form.
