12.1-Errors of Reaction-Automatic Rejection
反应错误之自动拒绝
As critical thinkers we need a reasonable basis for accepting or rejecting any argument or claim, including challenges to our ideas.
- 作为一个批判性思考者，我们需要一个合理的基础去接受或者拒绝任何论证或主张，包括对我们思想的挑战。
The only way to establish that basis is to evaluate the challenge and make an honest determination of its worth. Liking or disliking it, pleased or displeased with it, is not enough.
- 建立这个基础的唯一方法是，评估这些挑战和诚实的判断它的价值；
- 喜欢或不喜欢它，对它感觉高兴或者不高兴，是不够的；
To reject criticism without giving it a fail hearing is to commit the error of automatic rejection.
- 拒绝批评而没有给与公平的听证，就是犯了自动拒绝的错误。
The temptation to automatically reject challenges to your ideas can be powerful.
- 自动拒绝挑战你的想法的诱惑可以是强大的。
A good way to lessen that tempation is to put some emotional distance between your ideas and your ego.
- 减少这种诱惑的一个好方法是【在你的想法和你的自我意识之间】留出一些情感s上的距离。
Think of them as possessions that you can keep or discard rather than as extensions of your self. This will make you less defensive about them.
- 把它们当做【可以保留或者抛弃的】财产，而不是自我的延伸。
- 这会让你对他们不那么有戒心。
