Language is one of the only things that we truly share,
語言是我們真正共有的唯幾樣事物之一，
and I sometimes used this joint inheritance to obfuscate and deflect and justify myself;
而我有時候卻用這共同的遺產，去混淆，去轉移，去為自己辯護；
to re-brand what was good for me as something appearing good for us both,
當我拋出例如“共同經濟”、“混亂”
when I threw around terms like "the sharing economy," and "disruption" and "global resourcing."
“共享經濟”這樣短語的時候，去重新辯解對自身有力的，其實是對大家都有利的。
I see now that what I was really doing, at times, was buying your pain on the cheap,
我意識到我有時真正在從事的，是廉價買下你們的痛苦，
sprucing it up and trying to sell it back to you as freedom.
稍微改進一下，然后嘗試重新賣給你們，憑借自由的旗號。
I have wanted to believe and wanted you to believe that the system that has been good to me,
我希望去相信，也希望你們去相信，那對我適用的體系，
that has made my life ever more seamless, is also the best system for you.
讓我的人生天衣無縫的體系，也是最適合你們的體系。
I have condescended to you with the idea that you are voting against your economic interests
我自帶優越感地向你們灌輸觀點：你們是在對經濟利益投反對票
voting against your interests, as if I know your interests.
對你們自身的利益投反對票，仿佛我知道你們利益的樣子。
That is just my dogmatic economism talking.
這只是我自身教條的經濟論。
I have a weakness for treating people's economic interests as their only interest,
我有這樣一個問題，就是總把經濟利益看作所有人的唯一利益。
ignoring things like belonging and pride and the desire to send a message to those who ignore you.
忽視了那些歸屬感，驕傲情緒和對于那些忽視你的人們發出信息的欲望。
