   台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是:

  We see intention where there was none and escalate1 and confront when no strenuous2 or agitated4 responses are in fact warranted. Part of the reason why we jump so readily to dark conclusions and see plots to insult and harm us is a rather poignant5 psychological phenomenon: Self-hatred.
  我们所看见的意图其实根本不存在,我们却把它搞得很严重、制造对立,即使当时的情况没必要那么激动地响应。我们之所以会如此轻易地就立刻做出负面的结论,并且把这些视为羞辱、伤害我们的阴谋,有部分原因其实是源于一个痛苦的心理状态:自我厌恶。
