Issue123 "It is possible to identify a person's politics within a very short time of meeting him or her. Everything about people—their clothes, their friends, the way they talk, what they eat—reflects their political beliefs."

Abstract
先做一个让步,总体是反对的,一正二反
1. 不可否认,生活中存在这样一类人,他们非常单纯坦白,我们的确可以在很短的时间里通过他们的衣食住行了解他们包括政治信仰在内的诸多方面.
2. 但是,事实上大多数人的言行是受到各个方面影响的,他们的真实面目隐藏在许许多多纷繁复杂的外表之下.
3. 要了解一个人的政治信仰或其他方面,通过衣食住行有时的确能看出来,但是必须花费相当长的时间,短时间对一个人下的论断通常是很不可靠的.
At this very age of rapid social and cultural changes leading to life complexity and aim variety, people nowadays are no longer frank and straight like our ancestor. Politics, a sensitive issue that often hided by many people for different reason, is more difficult to be known than other aspects of human beings like interests and customs. What people dress or eat, to whom they make friend may give clues to us their political beliefs, but they are far from the truth sometimes.
Admittedly, a group of people really exist that they are inborn with the characters of naives and frank. It is relatively easy and reliable to get the politic inclination of these kinds of people by research their life style. Since they are straight, the things or person they preferred may reflect their politic tastes more correct. If he/she like to make friends with people who are extroverts, he/she is very possible an extrovert because his/her disposition determines what we see is what he/she is.
Nevertheless, most of people are not so easy to be acknowledged. In the modern life, people are more complex than before. The method we talk to others may change when we face different person and our choices of clothes are based on what kind of activity we will attend. We are far from the most real one that concealed by millions of affected appearance. There I want to mention the spy, a typical example that always shows everything to others feigned. Their final goals are remain untouchable even they are studied for many years by their enemies. Spy is certainly an extreme instance, but as social beings, almost everybody will act like spy in some conditions more or less.
It is possible to identify a person's politic beliefs or other aspects like that by observe and research his/her daily life. Although it is partly real, a very long period of time should be taken absolutely. Confucius, the most famous Chinese philosophy and educator, once said (and I paraphrased):" After a long distance, you can know the quality of a horse; it is the same to people, you may actually understand one person only if you live with he/she for a long pull." Like what the wise mentioned, sometimes we were seem to know a person thoroughly, however, this thoughts might be demonstrated totally wrong after many years especially when crucial event happened. Maybe one person always serious and rigid will keep helping people who need warm because of his experience of being a homeless child that nobody knows.
In sum, to judge one person's politics is a difficult and long-term work, which need huge amount of time to make a conclusion that is most closely to the truth. The judgment obtained curtly are often unbelievable since too many extrinsic illusions will mask our insight and let us take a false look at people surrounding us. Politic inclination is so sensitive and untouchable that we cannot judge it like any other issues. |
