思想史：餐桌禮儀的演變！ (HISTORY OF IDEAS - Manners)
- There is unwitting cruelty and political subterfuge in the defence of natural manners which suggest we are all equal when we are not, or which allow one gender to pester another. There is a fine line between being natural about things and being bothersome to others, a line we are continuing to explore, often at great cost to all concerned. There are no doubt many behaviours which many of us subscribe to now, which at a later age may come to see as no less vulgar than Catherine de' Medici found a meal without a fork. The aspiration to be well-mannered shouldn't be seen as pretentious or fake. It should be generously interpreted as always belonging to a highly important wish not to cause other people distress through one's impulses and needs. The history of manners goes on.
在捍衛自然禮儀的過程中，存在著不知不覺的殘忍和政治潛規則，這些禮儀暗示我們都是平等的，但實際上並非如此，或者允許一個性別糾纏另一個性別。在自然地對待事物和對他人造成困擾之間有一條微妙的界線，我們正在不斷探索這條界線，但往往要付出巨大的代價。毫無疑問，我們中的許多人現在同意的許多行為，到了晚年可能會被視為不亞於凱瑟琳-德-美第奇（Catherine de' Medici）發現吃飯不用叉子的粗俗行為。對舉止得體的追求不應被視為自命不凡或虛假。它應該被寬宏大量地解釋為始終屬於一種非常重要的願望，即不因自己的衝動
- The aspiration to be well mannered should not be seen as pretentious or fake.
別國語言的單字，我們該怎麼唸？ (How do we pronounce words from other languages?)
- I suppose it's tricky to find the balance between giving a nod to that language and not sounding pretentious.
我想，既要向這種語言致敬，又不能顯得自命不凡，要在這兩者之間找到平衡點是很困難的。
- I suppose it's tricky to find a balance between, uh, giving a nod to that language and not sounding pretentious.
所以這個詞的開頭是 ch 或 cha，而不是 cia。
