把这一句,留给此刻的你
My curiosity about alien cultures was avid and obsessive. I had a placid belief that it was good for me to live in the midst of people whose motives I did not understand; this unreasoned conviction was clearly an attempt to legitimize my curiosity.
我对外来文化的好奇心是狂热的和执着的。我有一种平静的信念,认为生活在那些动机我不了解的人中间对我是有好处的;这种毫无道理的信念显然是想使我的好奇心合法化。
