弗雷德里克·巴斯夏《经济诡辩》· Economic Sophisms · 投资

Let us see in what way this takes place. Ambitious men are often actuated by sinister and wicked intentions; their design, for example, may be to implant in the public mind the germ of international hatred. This fatal germ may develop itself, light up a general conflagration, arrest civilization, cause torrents of blood to be shed, and bring upon the country the most terrible of all scourges, invasion. At any rate, and apart from this, such sentiments of hatred lower us in the estimation of other nations, and force Frenchmen who retain any sense of justice to blush for their country. These are undoubtedly most serious evils; and to guard the public against the underhand practices of those who would expose the country to such hazard, it is only necessary to see clearly into their designs. How do they manage to conceal them? By the use of metaphors. They twist, distort, and pervert the meaning of three or four words, and the thing is done.

白话

巴斯夏分析诡辩如何为恶意打掩护:有些野心家想煽动国际仇恨,这种情绪可能引发战争、中断文明、招来入侵,至少也让国家蒙羞。要防住他们,只需看清他们的意图;而他们藏意图的办法,就是玩弄隐喻——把三四个词扭曲、颠倒、偷换,事情就成了。所以识别诡辩,要盯住关键词被怎么改头换面。今天看煽动对立的言论,也常靠几个被偷换的词。

上下文
