How do we think about Brother Sharp?

From the newspaper……

Amusing? Not really This spring, we consume

d Brother Sharp`s tragic life story with a sense of amusement. While consuming a story of the underdog , we also consumed our consciences. The spotlight is fading. Was it just an illusion for Brother Sharp?

--- The Beijing News

Notes: 1.a sense of amusement : 娱乐精

神。注意，在此，”娱乐“不要翻译为 entertainment 。因为后后者多指娱乐行业……而 amusement 才是”好玩、找乐子“

2. Conscience ，良知，也可以翻译为 a sense of right and wrong.

If you come across a Brother Sharp on the street ,don’ t try to imitate or laud him , because it could hurt him. A favor that’s within your power and a smile of goodwill are what’s need most.

----Xinhua News Agency

Notes : 1.laud ：热捧、赞颂 2.within sb’s power ：力所能及

Seeking pleasure at the expense of another’s dignity is anything but civilized behavior that should never be advocated in a civilized society.

----China Daily

Notes : 1.at the expense of: 在损害… .

2.Be anything but: 绝对不会是

3. dignity ['digniti] n. 尊严 , 面子 ,高贵

复　数： dignities
