That whole thing about priests not being allowed to repeat what they hear in confessions is that a hard rule or just a general guide line?

牧师们不被允许重复他们所听到的忏悔，是性规定还是是般的准？

The reason for these and countless other patterns of social behavior is that they are controlled by social norms shared rules or guide lines which prescribe the behavior that is appropriate in a given situation.

人们做这种或无数其他这类事情的原因是他们受控于种社会行为准，即在种特定的情况下，怎么做才是恰当的。
