A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
愚蠢
Stupid
I tend to not only read reviews, but also every little stupid thing online. It's a very bad idea, and there's a lot of angry people in the world. And it's weird to absorb all that weirdness.
我不仅喜欢看评论,还喜欢在网上看每一件傻事。这是一个非常糟糕的主意,世界上有很多愤怒的人。吸收所有这些奇怪的东西是很奇怪的。

For if there is anything to one's praise, it is foolish vanity to be gratified at it, and if it is abuse - why one is always sure to hear of it from one damned good-natured friend or another!
因为,如果一个人有什么值得称赞的地方,满足于此是愚蠢的虚荣心;如果这是滥用——为什么一个人总能从一个该死的好心肠的朋友那里听到这些呢?
