hc： to identify 分開成2動詞，似乎過分用力。

譯者之言

 

One of the primary tests of the mood of a society at any given time is whether its comfortable people tend to identify, psychologically, with the power and achievements of the very successful or with the needs and sufferings of the underprivileged.

無論何時，社會風氣的一個主要檢驗標準，是社會中生活舒適的人心理上傾向欽羡社會頂層的權勢與成就，還是關注社會底層的需求與苦難。

- Richard Hofstadter, historian (6 Aug 1916-1970)
