It is particularly hard to accept this behavior in intellectuals, whom people hold to high standards and who are assumed to be at least somewhat idealistic. Some intellectuals may say that they want to retreat from the petty world to find seclusion, and then at the next moment, they may adopt the guise of a dieting expert.
最讓人難受的，是被寄以厚望、稍有理想的知識人，前腳才說要退隱，後腳就以專家面貌現身說法，大談減肥之道，原以為他真的回到原點，要想想生存的目的？
