I don't think the foundation did this because they were monstrous.
該基金會的如此做法我不認為是出于豺狼之性。
I think they were clueless:
我認為他們是愚昧而已：
I think this was a unique moment when the beautiful naivety of Twitter was hitting the increasingly horrific reality.
以我之見，就在那特別一刻，推特的美麗單純與現實的日益殘酷來了場正面碰撞。
And here were some of the Tweets that were cascading into his eye line, as he was trying to apologize:
以下幾條是當時在現場出現的推文，當時他正準備道歉：
"Jonah Lehrer, boring us into forgiving him."
“喬納·雷爾，想通過讓我們無聊的方式來原諒他。”
And, "Jonah Lehrer has not proven that he is capable of feeling shame."
“喬納·雷爾仍未證明自己是個會羞恥的人。”
That one must have been written by the best psychiatrist ever, to know that about such a tiny figure behind a lectern.
寫這條的人一定是史上最高明的精神醫生，遠遠看一眼講臺后的小小身影就能進行診斷。
And, "Jonah Lehrer is just a frigging sociopath."
“喬納·雷爾個徹頭徹尾的變態狂。”
That last word is a very human thing to do, to dehumanize the people we hurt.
最后一個詞的使用是人性使然，是為了把我們要傷害的人非人化。
It's because we want to destroy people but not feel bad about it.
因為我們想在毀滅別人的同時自己感覺不到痛苦。
Imagine if this was an actual court, and the accused was in the dark,
想象一下如果這是在法庭里面，被告還蒙在鼓里，
begging for another chance, and the jury was yelling out, "Bored! Sociopath!"
乞求給予第二次機會，陪審員已經先聲奪人，“無聊啊！你個變態！”
You know, when we watch courtroom dramas, we tend to identify with the kindhearted defense attorney,
對吧，一般我們看法律劇的時候，總傾向于那個心地善良的辯方大律師，
but give us the power, and we become like hanging judges.
而一旦擁有了權力，我們就變成愛判死刑的法官了。
Power shifts fast. We were getting Jonah because he was perceived to have misused his privilege,
勢頭如風，瞬息萬變。之前，我們把喬納給揪出來，因為他濫用自己的特權，
but Jonah was on the floor then, and we were still kicking, and congratulating ourselves for punching up.
但當喬納已經倒下了，我們還上去補兩腳，還以為自己英雄了得，沾沾自喜。
And it began to feel weird and empty when there wasn't a powerful person who had misused their privilege that we could get.
而當找不到一個濫用職權的人可供攻擊時，甚至會感到寂寞空虛冷。
A day without a shaming began to feel like a day picking fingernails and treading water.
哪天無人可辱，就覺得人生無望，惶惶不可終日了。
