问题    Be very wary of opinions that flatter your self-esteem. Both men and women, nine times out of ten, are firmly convinced of the superior excellence of their own sex. There is abundant evidence on both sides. If you are a man, you can point out that most poets and men of science are male; If you are a woman, you can retort that so are most criminals. The question is inherently insoluble, but self-esteem conceals this from most people. We are all, whatever part of the world we come from, persuaded that our own nation is superior to all others... The only way I know of dealing with this general human conceit is to remind ourselves that man is a brief episode in the life of a small planet in a little corner of the universe, and that for what we know, other parts of the cosmos may contain beings as superior to ourselves as we are to jelly-fish.
选项
答案    对那些过分助长自尊的观点，一定要提高警惕。无论男女，十有八九都坚信自己性别的优越，而且双方都有充足的证据。假如你是男人，就会指出大多数诗人和科学家都是男性。假如你是女人，则会驳斥说大多数罪犯也是男性。这个问题从根本上就无法解决，但是由于自尊，大多数人对此视而不见。无论来自世界哪个地方，我们都相信，自己的国家比其他所有国家都优越。……据我所知，对待人类自负这个问题的唯一办法就是提醒我们自己：人类只是宇宙中一个小小角落里，一个小行星上的生命中的一段短暂插曲，并且，就我们所知，宇宙的其他地方可能存在比我们高级的生命，就像我们比水母高级一样。
