"There is a good deal of fraud about beggars," he remarked as he waved a sot away from him one day; "but that doesn't apply to women and children," he added; and he never passed such mendicants without stopping. All the stories about their being tools in the hands of accomplices failed to convince him. "They're women and children," he would say, and that settled it for him.

白话

比彻先生承认“乞丐里有很多骗子”,但他补充说:“但这不适用于妇女和儿童。”他从不放过这样的乞讨者,总要停下来。别人说这些女人和孩子可能是同伙的工具,他听不进去。他的理由很简单:“她们是女人和孩子。”对他来说,这个理由就足够了。他宁愿可能被骗,也不愿因为怀疑而错过真正需要帮助的人。这是一种有意识的取舍:把同情心放在防骗之上。

上下文

比彻对乞丐中的骗子有所警惕,但对妇女和儿童始终不加怀疑地施以援手。

今日一问

当同情心可能被利用时,你愿意为了不错过真正需要的人而承担一点风险吗?
