Translation of "cowardice" into Persian

that it is a virtue that occupies a place between two vicious extremes, cowardice and temerity;

شجاعت فضیلتی است که مابین دو رذیلت بزرگ جبن و جسارت قرار دارد؛

But you did not follow her example, and yet I am sure it was not through cowardice.

ولی اگر شما هم از او تقلید نکردید این تردید شما ناشی از بزدلی نبود.
