Did I see you arriving in a huge red pick-up truck this morning?
我今早从巨大的红色皮卡车上下来的是你吧?
Yes – it’s great, isn’t it?
是的,车很棒,是吧?
It’s very big… and red. But Rob, aren’t you a supporter of the movement to preserve the environment?
非常大,也非常红。但是,罗伯,你不是环保行动的支持者吗?
Erm… Yes.
额,没错。
A gas-guzzling car for an environmentalist, Rob?Isn’t that a contradiction – aren’t you being a hypocrite?
环保人士还开高油耗的车?你不是自相矛盾吗?你要做一个伪君子吗?
Well, it’s very fuel-efficient, Alice.It’s quite eco-friendly actually.
那辆车很省油。实际上也非常环保的。
That’s ridiculous and you know it. Hypocrisy is the subject of today’s show, and maybe we should start by exploring the meaning of hypocrite.Can you tell me what did the Ancient Greek word ‘hypocrite’ originally mean?Was it…a) actorb) politicianOr c) horse?
你自己也知道,这太荒谬了。虚伪是今天节目的主题,也许我们要从虚伪这一词的意思开始说起。你能告诉我在希腊语中‘hypocrite’一词原本是什么意思吗?a) 演员b) 政客还是c) 马?
OK, that’s easy. I think it’s b) politician.
这题很容易。我觉得是b) 政客。
Well, we’ll find out whether you got the answer right or not later in the show.Now, these days the meaning has changed, and a hypocrite means somebody who says one thing and does another.
之后我们再看你回答得是否正确。如今这个词的意思已经发生了变化,hypocrite伪君子是指说一套做一套的人。
Like you telling me not to bite my nails because it’s a disgusting habit…and then I see you doing it later the same day.
就像你告诉我不要咬指甲,因为这个习惯很恶心,然而同一天我看到你做同样的事。
Hmm. Well, sometimes it’s hard to be consistent.I do think nail biting is disgusting – but then when I’m a bit nervous I do it without thinking.
好吧,有时很难保持言行一致。我确实觉得咬指甲很恶心,但我紧张时我会不自觉地咬指甲。
We’re often inconsistent in what we say or do, though, aren’t we?Inconsistent means changeable.
我们经常会言行不一致,不是吗?Inconsistent是指变化的。
There is an explanation for us sometimes saying one thing and behaving in a very different way. Let’s listen to Professor Clancy Martin at the University of Missouri in the US.He teaches Philosophy so he knows a thing or two about the way we think.
有一个说法可以解释为什么有时候我们说一套做一套。我们来听听美国密苏里大学Clancy Martin教授的观点。他教授哲学,因此对我们思考的方式略知一二。
So while you might be enormously compassionate in your role as a teacher or a parent,you might find yourself being quite harsh and direct when it comes to your role as a brother or a sister. So then you see that - now wait a second if I’ve got all these inconsistencies all over the place in my charactercan I really say that I’m a sincere and authentic individual?Or am I just kind of blowing with which ever way my relationship winds kind of incline me?
