That's the rub about 'Community' - for all the high-concept cleverness, it really comes down to vulgar humanism, the dumbest kind of sentimental identification. We watch it because we like these people and we miss them when they don't show up. They become part of the stories we tell ourselves.
这就是“社区”的问题所在——尽管有着高概念的聪明才智，但归根结底还是粗俗的人文主义，一种最愚蠢的情感认同。我们看它是因为我们喜欢这些人，当他们不出现时，我们会想念他们。它们成为我们告诉自己的故事的一部分。
