The more we learn of the true nature of non-human animals, especially those with complex brains and corresponding complex social behaviour, the more ethical concerns are raised regarding their use in the service of man—whether this be in entertainment, as ‘pets,’ for food, in research laboratories or any of the other uses to which we subject them.
我们越是了解非人类动物的真实本性,尤其是那些拥有复杂大脑和相应复杂社会行为的动物,就越会对它们在为人类服务中的使用产生伦理上的担忧——无论是在娱乐、作为“宠物”、用于食物、在实验室中,还是我们施加给它们的任何其他用途。
The stock exchange is a poor substitute for the Holy Grail.
【译文】 孔子说:“君子有三件事要敬畏:敬畏自然规律、敬畏大人物、敬畏圣人的话。小人不懂自然规律因而也就不敬畏自然,不尊重大人物,戏侮圣人的言论。”
