Sample Sentences

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?

You're really very subjective on this, no? The better off you are in terms of material wealth does in fact allow you to progress spiritually and become more civilized, but it's not that he wants people to compare themselves against others through the accumulation of knowledge. This prejudice that these kinds of comparisons bring don't make you any more civilized, do they?
