A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
偏见
Prejudice
Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilized by education; they grow there, firm as weeds among rocks.
众所周知，如果一个人的内心土壤从未受过教育而变得松软或肥沃过，那么偏见是最难以根除的;他们在那里生长，如同野草生长在岩石中。
It is not the simple statement of facts that ushers in freedom; it is the constant repetition of them that has this liberating effect. Tolerance is the result not of enlightenment, but of boredom.
通向自由的不是简单的事实陈述;正是不断地重复它们才产生了这种解放的效果。宽容不是启蒙的结果，而是厌倦的结果。
FOR a long time the conviction has been dimly felt in the community that, without prejudice to existing institutions, the legal day of weekly rest might be employed to advantage for purposes affecting the general good.
长期以来，社会上有一种模糊的信念，即在不损害现有机构的情况下，可以利用法定的每周休息日来达到影响公众利益的目的。
Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.
伟大的心灵总是会遭到平庸心智的激烈反对。如果一个人不是不加思索地屈从于遗传的偏见，而是诚实而勇敢地运用他的智慧，那么后者就无法理解这一点。
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.
旅行对于偏见、偏执和狭隘的思想来说是致命的，我们许多人都非常需要旅行。一个人的一生不可能只在地球的一个小角落里郁郁葱葱地生长，就能获得对人和事的广泛、健康、宽容的看法。
