Love and logic: The story of a fallacy 爱情与逻辑:谬误的故事
1 I had my first date with Polly after I made the trade with my roommate Rob. That year every guy on campus had a leather jacket, and Rob couldn't stand the idea of being the only football player who didn't, so he made a pact that he'd give me his girl in exchange for my jacket. He wasn't the brightest guy. Polly wasn't too shrewd, either. 在我和室友罗伯的交易成功之后, 我和波莉有了第一次约会。 那一年校园里每个人都有件 皮夹克,而罗伯是校足球队员中唯一一个没有皮夹克的,他一想到这个就受不了,于是他和 我达成了一项协议,用他的女友换取我的夹克。他可不那么聪明,而他的女友波莉也不太精 明。
2 But she was pretty, well-off, didn't dye her hair strange colors or wear too much makeup. She had the right background to be the girlfriend of a dogged, brilliant lawyer. If I could show the elite law firms I applied to that I had a radiant, well-spoken counterpart by my side, I just might edge past the competition. 但她漂亮而且富有, 也没有把头发染成奇怪的颜色或是化很浓的妆。 她拥有合适的家庭背 景,足以胜任一名坚忍而睿智的律师的女友。如果我能够让我所申请的顶尖律师事务所看到 我身边伴随着一位光彩照人、谈吐优雅的另一半,我就很有可能在竞聘中以微弱优势获胜。
3 "Radiant" she was already. I could dispense her enough pearls of wisdom to make her "well-spoken". “ 光彩照人 ” ,她已经是了。而我也能施予她足够多的 “ 智慧之珠 ” ,让她变得 “ 谈吐优雅 ” 。
4 After a banner day out, I drove until we were situated under a big old oak tree on a hill off the expressway. What I had in mind was a little eccentric. I thought the venue with a perfect view of the luminous city would lighten the mood. We stayed in the car, and I turned down the stereo and took my foot off the brake pedal. "What are we going to talk about?" she asked. 在一起外出度过了美好的一天之后, 我驱车来到了高速公路旁一座小山上一棵古老的大橡 树下。我的想法有些怪异。而这个地方能够俯瞰灯火灿烂的城区,我觉得它会使人的心情变 轻松。我们呆在车子里,我调低了音响并把脚从刹车上挪开。 “ 我们要谈些什么? ” 她问道。
5 "Logic." “ 逻辑学。 ”
6 "Cool," she said over her gum. “ 好酷啊, ” 她一边嚼着口香糖一边说。
7 "The doctrine of logic," I said, "is a staple of clear thinking. Failures in logic distort the truth, and some of them are well known. First let's look at the fallacy Dicto Simpliciter." “ 逻辑学的原理, ” 我说道, “ 即清晰思考的主要原则。逻辑上出现的问题会歪曲事实,其 中有些还很普遍。我们先来看看一种叫做 ‘ 绝对判断 ’ 的逻辑谬误。 ”
