As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent, too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate, action: you liberate a city by destroying it. Words are to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests.
随着社会的堕落，语言也堕落了。语言是用来掩饰，而不是照亮行动的:你通过摧毁一座城市来解放它。言词是混淆视听的，这样在选举的时候人们就会庄严地投票反对自己的利益。
