A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
嘲笑
Ridicule
In the old days of literature, only the very thick-skinned - or the very brilliant - dared enter the arena of literary criticism. To criticise a person's work required equal measures of erudition and wit, and inferior critics were often the butt of satire and ridicule.
在文学的旧时代，只有厚脸皮的人才敢进入文学批评的舞台。批评一个人的作品需要同样的博学和智慧，而拙劣的批评家常常成为讽刺和嘲笑的对象。
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。

We grow tired of everything but turning others into ridicule, and congratulating ourselves on their defects.

Resort is had to ridicule only when reason is against us.
只有当理智对我们不利时，我们才不得不求助于嘲笑。
I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence.
我宁愿做真实的自己，即使冒着招致他人嘲笑的危险，也不愿做虚假的自己，招致自己的憎恶。
You know, I think it's one of those cases where the situation really does dictate your level of ridicule.
你知道，我认为这是一种情况真的决定了你嘲笑的程度。
Society is a republic. When an individual tries to lift themselves above others, they are dragged down by the mass, either by ridicule or slander.
社会是一个共和国。当一个人试图凌驾于他人之上时，他们就会被大众拖下水，要么被嘲笑，要么被诽谤。
