托斯丹·凡勃伦:有闲阶级论·摘录 114

托斯丹·凡勃伦《有闲阶级论》· The Theory of the Leisure Class · 投资

But little if anything has been done towards collecting or digesting data that are of special significance for the question of survival or elimination of traits in the modern populations. Little of a tangible character can therefore be offered in support of the view here taken, beyond a discursive review of such everyday facts as lie ready to hand. Such a recital can scarcely avoid being commonplace and tedious, but for all that it seems necessary to the completeness of the argument, even in the meager outline in which it is here attempted. A degree of indulgence may therefore fairly be bespoken for the succeeding chapters, which offer a fragmentary recital of this kind.

白话

但关于现代人口中特征存活或淘汰的问题,几乎还没有收集或整理特别有意义的数据。因此,除了对手边日常事实进行散漫回顾外,几乎拿不出具体证据支持这里的观点。这样的叙述难免平庸乏味,但为了论证完整似乎必要,哪怕只是粗略大纲。所以接下来几章会提供这种片段式叙述,请读者包涵。

上下文

凡勃伦在《有闲阶级论》中承认缺乏系统数据,只能依靠日常观察,为后续章节的片段式论证做铺垫。

今日一问

当你提出一个观点却缺乏数据时,你会如何诚实地说明证据的局限?
