雙語(yǔ)美文：我不同意你的觀點(diǎn)，但我尊重你

With the years gone by, I have found that more and more people that I met have different views from mine.

隨著一年一年過(guò)去，我發(fā)現(xiàn)，我和越來(lái)越多的人觀點(diǎn)不同。

Sometimes I couldn't even use the word "different" to describe this, because our views were almost conflicting.

有時(shí)候，甚至已經(jīng)不能用“不同”來(lái)形容，而是“針鋒相對(duì)”。

In the past, I used to tend to argue with people like this. I always wanted to persuade them all and make them accept my view while admitting that they themselves were wrong.

在以前，我傾向于和所有這樣的人進(jìn)行爭(zhēng)辯，總是希望能在最終說(shuō)服他們所有人，讓他們接受我的觀點(diǎn)，并承認(rèn)他們自己是錯(cuò)誤的。

But as time passed by I gradually came to realize that what I had been doing might be not right.

但是后來(lái)我發(fā)現(xiàn)，這么做本身似乎就是錯(cuò)的。

Every person has different experience. And our views are extracted from our own experiences.

每個(gè)人的經(jīng)歷都是不一樣的，而我們的觀點(diǎn)正是自己經(jīng)歷的濃縮。

There are too much subjective things in these views. And we think there's no need to question these beliefs.

這里面有太多主觀的東西，有些東西在我們自己看來(lái)簡(jiǎn)直毋庸置疑。

But when you ask yourself "Why are these beliefs right?"

但是，當(dāng)你問(wèn)自己“這些觀點(diǎn)為什么是對(duì)的?”

The only answer you can give yourself may just be "Because they are just right."

你所能給出的回答很可能只是“因?yàn)榫褪菍?duì)的啊。”

And where is the logic in all of this?

那么，這里面的邏輯又在哪呢?

That's why now I choose to respect a person even if our views are totally different.

所以，現(xiàn)在的我，即使觀點(diǎn)和別人不同，也會(huì)選擇尊重這種不同。

Because, ultimately, I cannot be sure that what I think is right.

因?yàn)槲艺娴臒o(wú)法確定我自己的想法就是對(duì)的。

Better let result be the judge.

一個(gè)做法是否正確，我們還是讓事情的結(jié)果來(lái)評(píng)判吧。
