留學(xué)生在中國(guó) 第44期 集體利益與個(gè)人利益 From Group Interest to Self In
集體利益與個(gè)人利益
David: Can you think about any other values,traditional values in China that are being influenced?
你覺得還有哪些中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)價(jià)值觀念受到了西方的影響呢?
You: People's attitude towards money is definitelybeing influenced.
我想還有人們對(duì)金錢的態(tài)度吧。
David: Attitude towards money? What was it likebefore?
對(duì)金錢的態(tài)度?人們以前是怎么看的?
You: People didn't think that much of money before, but rather how high regard for pubilicinterest. But now some people only work for money, and they don't care much else. While mostpeople don't work just for money.
以前，人們并不那么看重金錢，而是高度關(guān)注人民的利益;但現(xiàn)在，某些人只追求金錢而不關(guān)心別的。不過，絕大多數(shù)人們工作不只是為金錢的。
David: So they don't work just for money, because they work for something else. What else?
你是說人們工作不僅僅為了賺錢。那還為什么呢?
You: They have high ideals that they are working for the good of the country and for all itscitizens.
他們有崇高的理想，他們?yōu)榱俗鎳?guó)和人民的利益而工作。
David: Maybe it is not such a good thing that people are more interested in their own self andtheir own money, as opposed to their interest for the country and the group at large.
我覺得如果人們只關(guān)心自己，關(guān)心個(gè)人的利益，而不關(guān)心國(guó)家和集體的利益，這不是好事。
You: I think it is wrong if people only care about themselves and don't think about the good ofthe country.
對(duì)，我認(rèn)為如果人們只想著自己，不關(guān)心國(guó)家集體利益是極不正確的。
David: What other traditions do you think are also in jeopardy to be lost? Maybe somethingabout family, marriage, individual, work, money, students, teachers, or parents?
你認(rèn)為還有什么傳統(tǒng)也面臨喪失的危險(xiǎn)?比如對(duì)于家庭，婚姻，個(gè)人，工作，金錢，學(xué)生，老師或者父母的態(tài)度?
You: Trust in others.
對(duì)別人的信任。
David: What do you mean? I don't understand. Trust between people?
什么意思?我不大明白。是說人們之間的信任嗎?
You: Yes. Some people care more about their own self-interests than their trust in otherpeople. People should care about their own self-interests as well as other people's interests.
是的。因?yàn)槟承┤烁嗟脑诤踝约旱睦?，因而不信任別人。我覺得人們不但要關(guān)心自己的利益，更應(yīng)該關(guān)心他人利益。
David: I couldn't agree more.
你說得太對(duì)了。
