- Fourth question. Can we say why we've changed, at length and in depth, not merely feel we have changed? Can we turn warm intentions into words, and a lot of words at that? The cynic tends to chip in at this point to add anyone can say they've changed, but what's hard, and what counts, is to show one's changed. Actions, not words, are where it's at. To which we'd say, yes, of course, but also that people who can describe at some length – we're talking a minimum of five hours of conversation – about what's going on in them, and hear what's at play in the other, also have a good chance of following through at the level of action. Analytically precise words are not always cheap. It's not a simple matter to speak clearly about one's past emotional immaturity and idiocy, and by the time people can, it's a sign of a certain dawning wisdom which can stretch beyond mere fine intentions. At the same time, we should be very suspicious of any ex who tries to pass off their reluctance to sit an exam or their unwillingness to speak as a small matter indicating nothing other than a personal preference. Oh, I'm not so good with language. Words fail me. I don't do introspection very well. I love you, but I can't always say why. We're sorry for such a person. We also know that they plainly do not merit another chance. We both agree that this exam commits us to nothing whatsoever.
第四個問題。我們能否詳細而深入地說出我們改變的原因,而不僅僅是感覺我們已經改變?我們能否將溫暖的意圖化為文字,而且是大量的文字?在這一點上,憤世嫉俗者往往會加入進來,補充說任何人都可以說自己已經改變了,但最難、最重要的是表現出自己的改變。關鍵在於行動,而不是言語。對此,我們會說,是的,當然,但同時也會說,那些能夠用一定的篇幅--我們說的是至少五個小時的談話--描述自己身上發生了什麼,並聽到對方身上發生了什麼的人,也很有可能在行動層面上取得成功。分析準確的話語並不總是便宜的。要清楚地說出自己過去不成熟的情感

- I'm glad you brought that up, because a cynic would say we're in a situation now where the United States has stopped its actual military backing for Ukraine and is sitting back and letting Europe buy billions of dollars worth of weapons from it while at the same time apparently pursuing billions of dollars worth of of deals with Russia.
很高興你提出這一點,因為一個憤世嫉俗的人會說,我們現在的情況是美國已經停止了對烏克蘭的實際軍事支持,並且坐視歐洲從中購買價值數十億美元的武器,同時似乎又在與俄羅斯洽談價值數十億美元的交易。

- The cynic is never truly and completely cynical.
憤世嫉俗者,並非真正的、全然的憤世嫉俗
- A natural temptation, when encountering a cynic, is to try to argue them out of their attitude, by citing counter examples. But this is in its own way cruel, because it misunderstands what cynicism is about.
當一個正常人用自己的價值觀,試圖來糾正憤世嫉俗者的想法,這只是粗暴地強迫憤世嫉俗者接受所謂正常價值觀,因為眾人都誤解了憤世嫉俗者的成因。
