Why do we form opinions or attitudes about someone or something without really knowing much about them? Just hearing something good or bad about a person, a place, or thing can influence our opinions positively or negatively. But letting the opinions of another person determine what our opinions will be is dangerous.
为什么我们在对某人或某事物不太了解的情况下就会形成观点或态度？仅仅听到关于一个人、一个地方或一件事的好或坏，就可能正面或负面地影响我们的观点。但是，让别人的观点决定我们的观点是危险的。
Forming opinions about someone or something before really knowing them well is called prejudice. Pre means "before" and Judas (though likely a typo, intended might be "judice" which refers to judgment). Hence, prejudice means to judge before having adequate knowledge. We can be prejudiced toward or against someone or something. In either case, we are only allowing ourselves to see half of the picture. Very few people or things in this world are all good or all bad.
在对某人或某事物充分了解之前就形成观点被称为偏见。Pre意味着“之前”，而Judas（可能是个拼写错误，本意可能是“judice”，即“判断”）。因此，偏见意味着在获得足够知识之前就进行判断。我们可能对某人或某事物持有偏见。在任何情况下，我们都只是让自己看到了半真半假的情况。在这个世界上，很少有人或事物是完全好或完全坏的。
Prejudiced attitudes are usually based on myths, half-truths, or incorrect information, and they are dangerous because they can keep us from learning the truth about someone or something. People form prejudices against others for many reasons, such as differences in their race, religion, gender, or occupation. Prejudices keep people apart; they keep us from really knowing and understanding each other.
偏见的态度通常基于谣言、半真半假的信息或错误的信息，并且它们很危险，因为它们会阻止我们了解某人或某事物的真相。人们因为许多原因而对他人产生偏见，如种族、宗教、性别或职业的差异。偏见使人们疏远；它们阻止我们真正相互了解和认识。
We should feel proud of who we are and the group of people we represent. However, if feelings of pride begin to turn to feelings of superiority, when we think that our group or our beliefs are better than those around us, then we begin to develop prejudiced attitudes that can be harmful.
我们应该为自己是谁以及我们所代表的人群感到自豪。然而，如果自豪感开始转变为优越感，当我们认为我们的群体或信仰比周围的人更好时，我们就会开始形成有害的偏见态度。
For example, the prejudiced attitudes of one group may keep another group from attending certain schools, from living in any neighborhood they want, or from getting a job or a promotion. Extreme feelings of prejudice have caused the deaths of innocent people.
例如，一个群体的偏见态度可能会阻止另一个群体进入某些学校、住在他们想住的任何社区，或者阻止他们获得工作或晋升。极端的偏见情绪甚至导致了无辜者的死亡。
We are responsible for our own thoughts and opinions. When we let someone else tell us what to think about someone or something, we are giving up some control of our own lives. Before you form an attitude or opinion, find out for yourself about the person or the thing in question.
我们要对自己的思想和观点负责。当我们让别人告诉我们对某人或某事的看法时，我们就是在放弃对自己生活的一些控制。在形成态度或观点之前，请自己去了解相关的人或事物。
Sometimes, we don't realize that we hold prejudiced attitudes toward or against someone or something. We need to carefully examine our lives and our fears, and to ask ourselves whether our attitudes come from our personal knowledge and experience, or from rumors and fear of the unknown. The good news about prejudice is that we are not born with it. Prejudiced attitudes and opinions develop over time, but with education and knowledge, we can replace our prejudices with cooperation and understanding.
有时，我们没有意识到自己对某人或某事物持有偏见的态度。我们需要仔细审视自己的生活和恐惧，并问自己，我们的态度是来自于个人的知识和经验，还是来自于谣言和对未知的恐惧。关于偏见的好消息是，我们并非生来就带有偏见。偏见的态度和观点是随着时间的推移而形成的，但是通过教育和知识，我们可以将偏见转变为合作和理解。
