把这一句，留给此刻的你

You should never assume contempt for that which it is not very manifest that you have it in your power to possess, nor does a wit ever make a more contemptible figure than when, in attempting satire, he shows that he does not understand that which he would make the subject of his ridicule.

你永远不应该假定对它不是很明显,在你拥有力量,智慧也不做一个更可鄙的图相比,在尝试讽刺,他表明,他不明白,他会让他嘲笑的对象。

— Lord Melbourne 墨尔本勋爵
