刺激欲望的东西

Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy.

奥威尔所恐惧的是我们的文化被禁锢，而赫胥黎担心的则是我们的文化被琐碎化，变成类似于他书中描述的那些追求感官刺激的愉悦、欲望的游戏一样的东西。

Cruelty of disposition; malice and ill-nature; that most anti-social and odious of all passions, envy; dissimulation and insincerity, irascibility on insufficient cause, and resentment disproportioned to the provocation; the love of domineering over others; the desire to engross more than one's share of advantages; the pride which derives gratification from the abasement of others; the egotism which thinks self and its concerns more important than everything else, and decides all doubtful questions in its own favour;—these are moral vices, and constitute a bad and odious moral character: unlike the self-regarding faults previously mentioned, which are not properly immoralities, and to whatever pitch they may be carried, do not constitute wickedness.

性情的残忍、狠毒和乖张——这些是所有各种情绪中最反社会性的和最惹人憎恶的东西——妒忌，作伪和不诚实，无充足原因而易暴怒，不称于刺激的愤慨，好压在他人头上，多占分外便宜的欲望，借压低他人来满足的自傲，以"我"及"我"所关的东西为重于一切、并专从对己有利的打算来决定一切可疑问题的唯我主义——所有这一切乃是道德上的邪恶，构成了一个恶劣而令人憎恶的道德性格。这与前节所举只关己身的那些缺点是不一样的。那些缺点正当说来不能算是不道德，不论达到怎样高度也不会构成毒恶。

If you will try to form a notion of yourself, of the sort of a something that you suspect to inhabit and partially to control your flesh and blood body, you will encounter a walking bundle of superfluities: and when you mentally have put aside the extraneous things—your garments and your members and your body, and your acquired habits and your appetites and your inherited traits and your prejudices, and all other appurtenances which considered separately you recognize to be no integral part of you,—there seems to remain in those pearl-colored brain-cells, wherein is your ultimate lair, very little save a faculty for receiving sensations, of which you know the larger portion to be illusory.

如果你要试图形成一个关于&你自己&的概念，关于你以为它寄居在、并部分地控制着你的血肉之躯的那么个东西的概念，你会遇到一团行走的赘物：一旦你从脑子里撇开了这些外在的东西——你的衣装、你的肢体、你的躯干、你学来的习惯、你的欲望，以及你那些先天的特性和你的偏见，还有所有其他附属物，这些东西如果单独考虑起来，你就会意识到它们本不是你自己的一部分，那么，在你最终的居留处——珍珠色的脑细胞中，除了一种接收各种感官刺激（而且你知道其中大部分的感官刺激都是虚幻的）的功能之外，似乎已所剩很少。

Bread wafts throughout the store -- which means they wind up selling more of everything.

相同的，超级市场也学会把他们的面包房设在专门的设置，在那里新鲜的烤面包香味会弥漫整个商店，这会刺激消费者的购买欲望，商店会卖出更多的东西。
