| 189 | Maybe you could | 也许你可以 |
| 190 | link into some reputation laundering of your own to bump those search results. | 连结到你自己的名声洗劫 以挫败这些搜索结果 |
| 191 | And finally, we have Alice Crary, a distinguished philosopher known for her | 最后,我们有爱丽丝 克拉里,一个杰出的哲学家 以她而闻名 |
| 192 | work in ethics, moral philosophy, and social justice, which makes her really the | 在伦理、道德哲学和社会公正领域工作,使她真正成为 |
| 193 | perfect person to debate today, because philosophers have been arguing about the | 因为哲学家们一直在争论 |
| 194 | morality of good deeds for over 2,000 years, and that has really left no | 二千多年来的善行道德 一直没有 |
| 195 | problems left for the philanthropist to solve, right guys? | 问题留给慈善家解决,对吗? |
| 196 | So I'll present three | 我介绍三个 |
| 197 | arguments as to why I think the proposition is mistaken. | 我认为这个提议是错误的。 |
| 198 | Firstly, I'll | 首先,我会 |
| 199 | start by taking their argument at its best and assume that philanthropists do | 并假设慈善家确实 |
| 200 | want to just improve their reputation, and argue that even if so, the motion is | 想要提高他们的声誉 并争论说即使如此 动议是 |
| 201 | historically backward, and that philanthropy was best suited as a tool for | 历史的落后, 而慈善事业最适合作为工具 |
| 202 | reputation laundering in the medieval or ancient times, not the modern one. | 中世纪或古代的名誉清洗,而不是现代的。 |
| 203 | Second, I'll present a philosophical argument that outcomes matter even if | 第二,我将提出一个哲学论点,即结果即使 |
| 204 | motives are mixed, and to complement that, my third argument will demonstrate the | 我的第三个论点是, |
| 205 | actual measurable impact of modern philanthropy at such high a scale that we | 现代慈善事业在如此大的规模上 |
| 206 | can reasonably deduce that the aim was not only or centrally reputation laundering. | 可以合理地推断,其目的不仅是或中央名誉洗钱。 |
| 207 | For my first argument, right, ironically, if philanthropy ever did function | 对于我的第一个论点,对,讽刺的是, 如果慈善事业曾经运作 |
| 208 | primarily as a reputation laundering scheme, it was far more effective in | 它主要作为一种名誉清洗计划,在以下领域更为有效: |
| 209 | ancient times, and here's why. | 古今,此为故也. |
| 210 | Historically, if you look at figures like | 历史上,如果你看的数字像 |
| 211 | Gaius or Augustus, who built roads and temples and grain programs to cultivate | 盖乌斯或奥古斯都,他们建造道路、寺庙和谷物计划以耕种 |
| 212 | public image and legitimacy, the nature of the world that they lived in allowed | 公众形象和合法性、他们生活的世界的性质 |
| 213 | this to happen. | 发生这种情况。 |
| 214 | If a wealthy patron funded a temple, the public had very few | 如果一个有钱的赞助人资助了一座寺庙 公众就很少 |
| 215 | ways to challenge the narrative that this person was generous, noble, and virtuous. | 质疑这个人慷慨、高尚和善良的说法。 |
| 216 | But the nature of the world we live in today is day and night from the world | 但我们今天生活的世界的本质 是日夜从世界 |
| 217 | that Augustus was, for lack of a better word, goodwill farming in. | 奥古斯都是,由于缺乏更好的词, 善意的农业。 |
| 218 | Philanthropy could genuinely shape reputation almost uncontested back then, | 慈善事业可以真正塑造当时几乎无可争议的声誉, |
| 219 | but today, if a billionaire donates to charity, people don't automatically assume | 但是今天,如果一个亿万富翁捐献给慈善, 人们不会自动假设 |
| 220 | moral virtue. | 道德品德. |
| 221 | They ask questions. | 他们问问题。 |
| 222 | They investigate. | 他们调查。 |
| 223 | They criticize. | 他们批评。 |
| 224 | Public figures today face more scrutiny than at any other time in public history, | 今天的公众人物比公共史上任何其他时间都要受到更多的审查, |
| 225 | and so the public's argument assumes that these modern audiences are easily swayed | 所以公众认为 这些现代观众很容易动摇 |
| 226 | and passive recipients of philanthropic narratives, but that assumption is outdated. | 但这种假设已经过时。 |
| 227 | The point we as the opposition want you to take home from this is not at all that | 我们作为反对派希望你从这里回家 根本不是 |
| 228 | every philanthropist is a saint, but instead that we can simultaneously recognize | 每个慈善家都是圣人 但我们可以同时认识 |
| 229 | that a philanthropist has funded important programs while still criticizing other | 一个慈善家资助了重要的项目 却仍然批评其他 |
| 230 | aspects of their behavior, including questioning the sources of the wealth | 包括质疑财富的来源 |
| 231 | that they have accumulated. | 他们已积累了。 |
| 232 | Now, it was brought up that I am a Rhodes Scholar, | 现在,它提出我是罗得学者, |
| 233 | and I'll be the first to admit I'm not proud of what Cecil Rhodes did, | 我将首先承认 我不为塞西尔·罗兹的所作所为感到骄傲 |
| 234 | and I am in no way bowed down to him. | 我绝不顺从他。 |
| 235 | If anything, the wealth that he did manage | 如果有的话,他所处理的财富 |
| 236 | to accumulate in that way, the best we can do with that now is to sort of do good | 这样积累,我们现在能做的最好 就是做点好事 |
| 237 | with it in the world to make sure that those things are not propagated even further. | 与它在世界确保 这些东西不被进一步传播。 |
| 238 | This, however, is also outside the scope of our debate because we are talking about | 然而,这也超出了我们辩论的范围,因为我们谈论的是: |
| 239 | a more downstream issue of what to do with the wealth that has, for better or for worse, | 更下游的问题是 如何处置财富 不论好坏 |
| 240 | landed into the hands of the top 1%. | 落到上1%的手中 |
| 241 | And as we are proving in real time, | 正如我们实时证明的 |
| 242 | philanthropy today does not grant you reputational immunity. | 今天的慈善事业不能让你享有名誉豁免权 |
| 243 | If anything, | 如果有的话 |
| 244 | it invites more scrutiny by having debates about it in the Oxford Union. | 它通过在牛津大学联盟中对此进行辩论,要求进行更多的审查。 |
| 245 | So if philanthropy was primarily a tool for reputation laundering, | 所以如果慈善事业主要是清洗名誉的工具 |
| 246 | it would have worked far better in ancient Rome than it does on Twitter. | 在古罗马会比在推特上好得多 |
| 247 | From a second argument, the proposition makes a philosophical mistake. | 从第二个论点来看,这个提议犯了一个哲学错误。 |
| 248 | It assumes that if someone benefits reputationally from giving, | 它假设,如果某人从给与的名誉中获益, |
| 249 | the giving becomes illegitimate. | 给钱是非法的 |
| 250 | But this is morally incoherent. | 但这在道德上是不连贯的。 |
| 251 | Human motivation, you see, is rarely pure. | 你看,人类的动机很少是纯洁的。 |
| 252 | Doctors earn salaries, | 医生挣工资 |
| 253 | very high ones at that. | 非常高的这个。 |
| 254 | Politicians gain prestige. | 政治家们获得了声望. |
| 255 | Academics gain citations. | 学者得到引用。 |
| 256 | Yet we don't dismiss their contributions | 但是我们不否认他们的贡献 |
| 257 | because their incentives are mixed. | 因为他们的激励是混合的。 |
| 258 | So why don't we question the philanthropists? | 我们为什么不质疑慈善家呢? |
| 259 | The philosopher Peter Singer famously argued that the ethical value of an action lies in its | 哲学家彼得·辛格(Peter Singer)著名地认为,一个行动的道德价值在于它 |
| 260 | consequences for human well-being. | 对人类福祉的影响。 |
| 261 | Now, modern philanthropy is far from flawless, | 现在,现代慈善事业远非完美无缺 |
| 262 | but the consequences of philanthropy are very clear. | 但慈善事业的后果非常清楚。 |
| 263 | Lives saved, diseases eradicated, educational opportunities created. | 挽救生命,消灭疾病,创造教育机会。 |
| 264 | The proposition asks us to discard these outcomes simply because good will follow generosity. | 该提议要求我们放弃这些结果,仅仅是因为善会伴随慷慨。 |
| 265 | That is not ethical reasoning, ladies and gentlemen. | 女士们先生们,这不是道德推理。 |
| 266 | That is moral cynicism, | 这是道德上的愤世嫉俗, |
| 267 | which is detached from the reality we live in. | 这与我们生活的现实脱节。 |
| 268 | Thirdly, I'm going to talk to you about the real world impact that modern philosophy, | 第三,我要跟你谈谈 现实世界对现代哲学的影响, |
| 269 | sorry, philanthropy, generally continues to demonstrate. | 对不起,慈善事业, 总的来说,继续展示。 |
| 270 | Now, if philanthropy were primarily reputation laundering, | 如果慈善事业主要是名声清洗 |
| 271 | we would expect symbolic gestures with minimal real world outcomes. | 我们期望象征性的姿态,而现实世界的成果却很少。 |
| 272 | But the data shows the opposite. | 但数据却显示相反. |

| 396 | capitalism, and that is when that money in those foundations is then making more profit. | 资本主义,也就是当那些基金会的钱 正在创造更多的利润。 |

| 449 | Well, all the foundations said, this sounds like a great reputational job to do, and I'm being | 所有基金会都说,这听起来 是一个伟大的名誉工作做, 而我是 |
| 450 | partly cynical because so many people in those foundations deeply believe that change needs to | 部分的愤世嫉俗,因为这些基金会的这么多人深信,需要变革: |

| 476 | about six foundation leaders wanted to take on the uproar, and they came together and they wrote a | 大约六位基金会领导人想要 承担隆重的, 他们走到一起,他们写了一个 |
