Molière's comedy Le Misanthrope created a derisive young character who, like Hamlet, was a brilliant young man in contrast with the ugly and hypercritic society of his time.(法國戲劇家莫里埃的喜劇《恨世者》塑造了一個供人嘲笑和譏諷的優秀青年阿爾賽斯特。)

He even had a brief career in law, which may partly explain his inclusion of lawsuits and legal strife in The Misanthrope.(他甚至還進行了簡短的職業在法律上，這可能部分地解釋他列入訴訟和法律糾紛中的憤世嫉俗。)

Consider both an avid cocktail party hostess with hundreds of acquaintances and a grumpy misanthrope, who may have one or two friends.(細想一下；一個有數以百計的熟人的雞尾酒會的女主人和一遁世者，誰會有一兩個朋友。)

To Robert, a misanthrope who'd barely mastered E-mail in his earlier life, this networked world is a multitasking hell.(而對于Robert這一早年僅僅勉強精通電子郵件的孤獨者而言，這一網絡世界簡直就是一個多元處理的地獄。)

I have been a complete misanthrope, I hate humans.(我一直在一個完整的厭世者，我討厭人類。)

If this all strikes you as fancy, handlebar moustache talk from an old misanthrope who doesn't get things like whatever the hell we're calling "conversations" this week, maybe you're on to something.(如果你覺得我所說的復雜，就像我們今周所說的一個守舊的不愿與他人來往的人在自言自語，那可能你準備做其他事。)

While not a commercial success-a pattern largely unbroken until I'm Your Man-this lackadaisical triumph is an inspiration to the misanthrope in us all.(盡管并不是一個商業上的成功，這一模式直到《我是你的男人》才被打破。這個漫不經心的勝利是對獨來獨往的我們的一個激勵。)

I used to worry that my discomfort at weddings meant that I was a misanthrope or lacking the distinctly feminine gene that makes centerpieces and pew markers appealing.(我曾經擔心我對婚禮感到不舒服會不會是因為我是個憤世嫉俗者，或是我少了對重大時刻和教堂長凳花飾標志迷戀的女子特有基因。)

Yet I experienced sometimes that the most sweet and tender, the most innocent and encouraging society may be found in any natural object, even for the poor misanthrope and most melancholy man.(然而我有時經歷到，在任何大自然的事物中，都能找出最甜蜜溫柔，最天真和鼓舞人的伴侶，即使是對于憤世嫉俗的可憐人和最最憂慢的人也一樣。)
