We all think we are rational creatures， but the truth is that most of us believe evidence that confirms our beliefs - and filter out contradictory facts. When a story comes along that so neatly fits our preconceived expectations， we're ready to give it credence， when maybe the best thing to do is exercise a little caution.” “我们都认为自己是理智的人，但事实上我们大多数人相信那些证实我们观念的证据，而过滤掉那些相反的事实。当一个说法严丝合缝地符合我们事先的预想，我们就乐于相信，可是也许最好谨慎一点。”（美国有线电视新闻网网站） ——美国《一周》周刊专栏作家乔尔·马西斯曾针对网络暴力现象，呼吁网民重视心理学中的“确认偏见”现象。日前，美国社交媒体上疯传一段餐厅女服务员“歧视”黑人顾客的视频，当事人莫兰被网民指责是种族歧视者，并受到多名网友的恐吓和谩骂。事后经网友查证，这段视频为断章取义，视频中的黑人顾客常吃“霸王餐”，餐厅员工因此拒绝为其服务。 We took my great-grandpa to Disney for his 95th birthday because it's his favorite place on earth. His favorite ride has always been It's A Small World since its been around for so long and is such a classic. They let us to the front of the ride since he and his girlfriend were older. Well， they then let us ride it THREE TIMES IN A ROW without ever getting out of the boat.” “我们带着曾祖父到迪士尼庆祝他的95岁生日，迪士尼可是地球上他最喜欢的地方。他最喜欢的骑乘项目一直是‘小小世界’，因为它已存在很久了，并且是个经典项目。由于曾祖父和他的女朋友年纪比较大，工作人员让我们坐在最前排。而且，他们让我们连船都没下连续坐了三次。”（美国“嗡嗡喂”新闻网站） ——美国“嗡嗡喂”新闻网站收集了17个有关迪士尼温暖人心的故事，游客在这里或哭或笑，或流连忘返，这就是迪士尼的魔力所在。（张伊宇编译） |
