设想的人

Thou hast not forgotten, I suppose, that those who assume arrogant airs in bestowing their praise or blame on others, are such as they are at bed and at board, and thou hast not forgotten what they do, and what they avoid and what they pursue, and how they steal and how they rob, not with hands and feet, but with their most valuable part, by means of which there is produced, when a man chooses, fidelity, modesty, truth, law, a good daemon?

我设想，你没有忘记吧，那些在褒贬别人时态度傲慢的人是怎样的人，他们是在床上或船上的人；你没有忘记吧，没忘记他们所做的、所避开的、所追求的，以及他们如何偷、如何抢，不是用手脚，而是用他们最宝贵的部分。当一个人愿意时，本可以用这一部分产生出忠实、谦虚、真诚、守法和一个好的守护神。

Van Gulick (1993) suggests that conceivability arguments are question-begging, since once we have a good explanation of consciousness, zombies and the like will no longer be conceivable.

Van Gulick (1993)建议，可设想论证是诉诸问题的，因为一旦我们有好的意识解释，人偶或诸如此类的，就不再是可设想的。

If it is conceivable that there be zombies, it is metaphysically possible that there be zombies.

如果存在人偶是可设想的，那么存在人偶就是形上学上可能的。

In fact it was Charles V of Spain who first envisaged a shortcut through the Panamanian jungle to ease the difficult crossing.

实际上，它是查尔斯五世西班牙第一人设想的一条捷径，是通过巴拿马丛林中，以纾缓难以穿越。

When I see a scowler with a knife, I spontaneously imagine myself scowling with a knife, imagine what I would feel (thus in effect imagining what he feels), what I would do if I felt that way, and thence expect the scowler to act that way. Now I am prepared.

当我看到一个怒容的人有一把刀，我本能地设想我自己怒容拿刀，设想我会感受到什么（于是结果就设想了他感受到什么），设想如果我感到这些我会做什么，于是预期怒容者会做什么，然后我就准备好了。

If the prevailing assumption is that people are crooks , more and more of them will be crooks.

如果一个社会流行的设想是：人们是诚实的，那么他们总体上就是诚实的；如果这种流行的设想是：人们都是骗子，那么他们中越来越多的人就会沦为骗子。

Perhaps because of the visual nature of Biomorph Land, the first people to incorporate Dawkins's idea of computational breeding were artists.

也许是由于生物形态王国的形象化的本性，最先吸取道金斯计算机繁育设想的人是位艺术家。

Yes, I know the nervous Nellies in the other party are saying in the papers and on TV that our bill will cost taxpayers more money than it will save, but they're scared of any new ideas!

他说：他知道反对党的那些人在报纸和电视上宣传他们的提案使纳税人增加的花费比省下的钱多，可是他却认为那些反对派是对任何新设想都胆战心惊的人。

It should be read, if you can imagine this, in the voice of someone with an Indian accent trying to imitate an American or a Brit.

这可以理解，你可以设想，一个印度口音的人试着模仿美国人或英国人。

I use an example quoted by Hu Jiaqi:"It is reported that America separates the DNA of a kind of virus by making use of genetic technology and combines it with another kind of DNA. Finally, they get a kind of virulent biological agent called a "pyrotoxin". Someone discloses in private that 20 grams of such a kind of biological agent could result in the global death of 6 billion people due to infection."

我在这里例举胡家奇所引用过的例子："据报道，美国利用转基因技术，将一种病毒的DNA分离出来，与另外一种DNA进行结合，拼结成一种剧毒的"热毒素"生物战剂，且私下有人透露，这种生物战剂只需20克，就可以导致全球60亿人全部感染死亡。"

Waiting, for the queers and the coons and the Reds and the Jews.
