moral judgments seem to be, or imply, opinions about the reasons we have for behaving in certain ways, and, other things being equal, having such opinions is a matter of finding ourselves with a corresponding motivation to act. (查看原文)

书是很好的书，毕竟得过写作一等奖，作者把很简单的论证写的很长很长，很清晰很清晰。但这个翻译。。。怎么就没有更好的中文课堂笔记之类流出来呢。我重新翻译了要点（http://lixiaozhe.com/post/ecnu/the.moral.problem），自认为绝对是人话。

翻译极其糟糕，英文读起来好很多，但还是有些乱

这个机器译者还写过一本书，内容犹如乱码生成器自动生成的。
