"People often look for similarities, even between very different things, and even when it is unhelpful or harmful to do so. Instead, a thing should be considered on its own terms; we should avoid the tendency to compare it to something else."
人们总是在寻找相同点,即使是在非常不同的事物间也不例外,甚至有时候这样做是无用乃至有害的。实际上,我们应该具体问题具体分析;我们应该尽量避免比较的倾向。
1. I agree with the speaker insofar as insisting on find similarities between things can often result in unfair, and sometimes harmful, comparison.
2. We should be especially careful when looking for similarities between people.
3. The speaker goes too far—by overlooking a fundamental, even philosophical, reason why we should always look for similarities between things.
