Sample Sentences

你这是拿着鸡毛当令箭，人家管仲说的是要让人民脱离吃不饱、穿不暖的威胁，“才”能要求精神上的提升，他可没说“就应该”怎么怎么地，你这样解释太片面了，断章取义。
nǐ zhè shì ná zhe jī máo dāng lǐngjiàn ，rénjiā Guǎnzhòng shuōde shì yào ràng rénmín tuōlí chībubǎo 、chuānbùnuǎn de wēixié ，“cái ”néng yāoqiú jīngshén shang de tíshēng ，tā kě méi shuō “jiù yīnggāi ”zěnme zěnme de ，nǐ zhèyàng jiěshì tài piànmiàn le ，duàn zhāng qǔ yì 。
You're really taking license with that kind of talk. Guan Zhong was talking about how people need to be free from fear of hunger and of fear of not having enough to wear, to be able to progress spiritually. He didn't say what people had to do. You're really being quite one-sided in your interpretation and taking his words out of context.

我断章取义？难道管仲这么说，不是期待人能够从物质的满足进步到文化精神层面？你瞧那些来自穷苦家庭的人，有了钱就会花，这根本还是处在贫穷的心态下，缺乏精神文明呐。
wǒ duàn zhāng qǔ yì ？nándào Guǎnzhòng zhèmeshuō ，bùshì qīdài rén nénggòu cóng wùzhì de mǎnzú jìnbù dào wénhuà jīngshén céngmiàn ？nǐ qiáo nàxiē láizì qióngkǔ jiātíng de rén ，yǒu le qián jiù huì huā ，zhè gēnběn háishì chù zài pínqióng de xīntài xià ，quēfá jīngshénwénmíng na 。
I'm taking his words out of context? So you think Guan Zhong wasn't hoping that people would progress from material satisfaction to the spiritual and cultural level? Just look at those people from poor families. They spend money as soon as they get their hands on it. That's pretty much still being trapped in an impoverished mentality, which is uncivilized.
