The majority of people in contemporary society give themselves up to this debauchery without the slightest remorse.

当代社会的大多数人都毫无悔意地沉溺于这种放荡不羁之中。

The central events of our time are not less effectively forgotten by those committed to a belief in an unavoidable doom, than by those who have given themselves up to reckless optimism.

比起那些鲁莽地一头钻进乐观主义的人来，那些全然相信世界将不可避免地毁灭的人会更善于忘却我们时代的各种中心事件。
