标题[恶魔字典] Idiot
时间Tue May 5 00:08:26 2009
Idiot, n.
A member of a large and powerful tribe whose influence in human affairs
has always been dominant and controlling. The Idiot's activity is not
confined to any special field of thought or action, but "pervades and
regulates the whole." He has the last word in everything; his decision
is unappealable. He sets the fashions of opinion and taste, dictates
the limitations of speech and circumscribes conduct with a dead-line.
-- Ambrose Bierce
白痴 [名词]
有一个庞大有力的族群,其影响向来强势支配人类事务。白痴是这族群一员。
白痴的活跃不限於任何思想行动的特别领域,而是「遍布一切、规范整体」。
事事由他拍板定案;他的判决不得上诉。他开创意见与品味的风气,决定言论
何者当说,并替行为划下不可逾越的界限。
-- 安布罗斯‧比尔斯

桃乐丝: 可是, 如果你没有头脑, 为什麽会说话?
稻草人: ㄝ, 我也不知... 但是有些人没有头脑也能说超~多话呢。
