1. 介紹某觀點First of all, I"d like to point out that all of you presented here are nobody. 首先,我想指出的是,在座的各位都是垃圾。The main problem is you don"t know that. 主要的問題是,你們不知道(你們是垃圾)。The question of how to make you realize the truth is a major challenge. 讓你們認識到這個真相,真是一件有挑戰性的事。Speaking of how to make the idiots realize they are idiots, I have no idea. 談到怎麼讓庸眾們認識到他們的庸,我還真不在行。What we have to decide is whether we want to take the effort. 我們需要決定的是,我們是否要為此付出精力。2. 列舉論據First of all, the nobodies are of little importance. 首先,小人物們沒啥重要性。In addition to that, our time and energy are limited. 此外,我們的精力有限。Moreover, it is not our responsibility to help the idiots. 而且,幫助庸眾們不是我們的義務。Furthermore, the idiots will not be gratified by our generosity because they lack the ability to understand it. 另外,庸眾們不會因此對我們感恩,因為他們缺乏理解我們的慷慨的能力。Another example of this is Gongsun Yang"s death. He made Qin stronger, but the idiots killed him in return. 另一個例子是商鞅之死。他讓秦國變得更強大,可是那群庸眾殺死了他。Finally, my opinion is: it is none of our business to help the idiots. 最後,我的意見是,幫助庸眾們真的不是我們的分內事。3. 表達看法It seems to me that staying away from helping the unprivileged is against my conscientiousness. 但是,不幫助弱勢群體似乎違揹我本人的良心。I have the feeling that if we do not have them, no one will. 我能感覺到,如果我們不幫他們,沒有人會。I feel that I will regret this choice in the future. 我感到,因為做了這個決定,我將來會後悔。I"m absolutely convinced that we should make the world a better place. 我堅信,我們應該讓世界更美好。You can take it from me that I am in an apparent paradox regarding this issue. 你可以認為我在此問題上明顯的自相矛盾。I think/don"t think that I think that we should make the world better. 我認為我們應該讓世界變得更好。In my opinion, this is morally right. 在我看來,這在道德上是對的。Well, if you ask me why I refused to help the idiots? 嗯,如果你問我,為什麼我不願幫助那些庸眾?The way I see it, it"s better to teach a man fishing than to give him fish. 我是這麼看的,授人以魚不如授人以漁。Personally, I believe/suppose/feel (that) if we help them, they will not become wiser. 我個人的觀點,如果我們幫他們,他們不會變得更明智。I"m convinced that they will be wise only after life teaches them enough lessons. 我相信,只要在生活給了他們足夠教訓,他們才會變得明智。4. 表達優勢劣勢There are two sides to the question. 問題要分兩面看。On the one hand, on the other hand…On one hand, it seems we should help them, one the other hand, they may bite the hand that feed them. 一方面,似乎我們應該幫他們。另一方面,他們會恩將仇報。An argument for/ in favour of the cons of helping them is Shangyang"s death, which is the evidence that the idiots will bite the hand that feeds them. 商鞅之死就是幫助庸眾的壞處的一個論據,他們會恩將仇報。While admitting that one should not forget that we bear the social responsibility to help the unprivileged, I refuse to take the risks. 在承認我們有幫助弱勢群體的社會責任的同時,我拒絕為此冒風險。Some people think that, others say that…Some people may think that I go to the extremes, then I am. 有些人會說我偏激。那我就是!5. 表達質疑I"m not sure if they will bite my hand if I help them. 我不確定如果我幫他們的話他們會不會對我恩將仇報。I"m not convinced that there is no risk in that regard. 但是我不信那種風險不存在。I wonder if you realize that it is not reasonable to ask others to sacrifice their own interest in helping others. 我不知道你是否意識到了,要求別人犧牲自己的利益去幫助他人,是不合理的。I doubt that you would help them if you were in my position. 我不信如果你在我的位置上,你會幫他們 (誰也別當鍵盤俠,換位思考一下)。6. 表達異議I don’t agree with you about we should help the unprivileged unconditionally. 我不能同意你的我們應該無條件幫助弱勢群體的觀點。I can"t accept your view that helping others is our ultimate goal. 我不能接受你認為幫助他人使我們的終極目標的觀點。I"m of a different opinion on your world view. 我和你的世界觀不同。7. 表達支援I couldn"t agree with you more. I couldn"t agree with you more in that we should help others when we have taken good care of ourselves. 我十分同意你的以下說法:在我們有餘力照顧自己時,我們應該幫助他人。You look the words right out of my mouth.The reason for this is (that) when we cannot take care of ourselves, we should try not to be a burden for others, rather than thinking about helping others. 原因是,如果我們不能照顧好自己,我們應該努力讓自己不成為他人的負擔,而不是想象怎麼幫助他人。I base my argument on the case that the Duke of Song as the leader of a small state intervened in the game of thrones in Qi,and finally it turned out to be a joke. 我的論據是春秋時,撮爾小國的宋襄公,竟然介入大國齊國的王位之爭,最終變成一場鬧劇。I tell you all this because I am a candid person who believe honesty is the best policy. 我告訴你這些因為我是個坦蕩的人,相信誠實才是最好的策略。8. 圍繞某觀點發揮It would be more to the point if you can think about this issue in my shoes. 如果你能站在我的角度考慮問題,你便能更貼題。What we are discussing is whether we should help the unprivileged unconditionally. 我們在討論的是,我們是否應該無條件幫助弱勢群體。Equality has nothing to do with my argument. 是否公平與我的論點無關。That"s not relevant. 那些與話題無關9. 總結The obvious conclusion is it is not necessary for us to help the unprivileged unconditionally. 顯而易見的結論是,我們沒有必要無條件的幫助弱勢群體。Last but not least it is yourself whom you should care about the most, not others. 最後這點,但也很重要,你最該關心的是你自己,不是他人。The only alternative (left) is if we have the capacity, and there is no risk, but we still do not want to help them, is there an ethical problem with this kind of notion? 唯一沒有結論的問題是,如果我們有能力,也不冒風險,但是我們不想幫他人,這種想法有倫理錯誤嗎?The only possible solution/conclusion is as long as you do not be evil, it is not reasonable to blame you. 唯一可能的結論是,只要你不做壞事,你獨善其身他人無可指摘。Summing up, I"d like to say that everyone is responsible for themselves, and it is not the responsibility of anyone to help others. 總結一下,我想說的是,每個人都要為自己負責,他人沒有義務幫你!
我把句型們串成了一篇文章:為什麼我拒絕幫助庸眾。黑體部分是句型。
我把句型分成了九部分:
