狂热的一个很好的定义是,你对自己的观点和政策如此确信,以至于你确信任何反对它们的人要么是愚蠢的、被欺骗的,要么是别有用心的。今天,我们是一个公众眼中几乎每个人的每一句话都表现出狂热的国家。
(A good working definition of fanaticism is that you are so convinced of your views and policies that you are sure that anyone who opposed them must be either stupid and decieved or have some ulterior motive. We are today a nation where almost everyone in the public eye displays fanaticism with every utterance.)
