- Now, to say this is not to say that we have got the perfect solution in our own society.
- 我这么说，并不是说我们的社会有最完美的解答
- For instance, this is what it's like to go to a newsstand almost anywhere in the civilized world.
- 举例来说，现在你到任何文明国家的报摊，都可以看到这样的景象
- Now, granted, for many men it may require a degree in philosophy to see something wrong with these images.
- 我必须承认，对大部分的男人来说，可能需要有博士学位才会觉得这有什么不对
- But if we are in a reflective mood, we can ask,
- 但在我们自省的时候，我们也可以想
- "Is this the perfect expression of psychological balance with respect to variables like youth and beauty and women's bodies?"
- “这样的东西会让我们学习尊重不同女性的年龄和肉体吗？”
- I mean, is this the optimal environment in which to raise our children?
- 难道我们会希望我们的孩子生在在这种视觉环境里吗？
- Probably not. OK, so perhaps there's some place on the spectrum
- 大概不会。于是在这两个极端中
- between these two extremes that represents a place of better balance.
- 应该有一个中间点能带来一种比较健康的平衡
- Perhaps there are many such places --
- 或许这个平衡点不止一个
- again, given other changes in human culture there may be many peaks on the moral landscape.
- 在这个多元的世界里，我们的道德地图应该有许多不同的山峰
- But the thing to notice is that there will be many more ways not to be on a peak.
- 但重点是这世界上还有许多不是这些山峰的地方
- Now the irony, from my perspective,
- 在我看来，讽刺的事情是
- is that the only people who seem to generally agree with me
- 一般会认同我说法的
- and who think that there are right and wrong answers to moral questions are religious demagogues of one form or another.
- 那些觉得道德争议是有正确和错误答案的大都是一些宗教家
- And of course they think they have right answers to moral questions
- 他们当然会觉得道德争议有正确答案
- because they got these answers from a voice in a whirlwind,
- 因为他们已经在神秘之声中听到这些答案了
- not because they made an intelligent analysis of the causes and condition of human and animal well-being.
- 而不是因为他们理智思考和分析过这些议题，人类和动物的幸福快乐
