A British schoolteacher expressed the sentiment well in 1910: “We suspect the man who talks patriotism and imperialism, just as we suspect him who talks religion or any of the things that are of deepest value in life. We think him either a humbug or a shallow person who has not realized the inadequacy of words to express what is deepest.”
一位英国教师很好地阐述了1910年时的情绪：“我们怀疑大谈爱国主义和帝国主义者，正如我们怀疑大谈宗教或其他任何与生命最深刻价值相关的东西的人。我们认为，他不是骗子，就是俗不可耐，根本不懂最深刻的东西根本无法用语言表达的道理。”
