　　issue207.Rituals and ceremonies help dine a culture. Without them, societies or groups of people have a diminished sense of whom they are.

　　典礼和仪式有助于确立一种文化，否则人们的社会或群体的角色归属感会削弱。

　　225. People often look for similarities, even between very different things, and even when it is unhelpful or harmful to do so. Instead, a thing should be considered on its own terms; we should avoid the tendency to compare it to something else.

　　人们经常在不同的事物之间寻找相似性，哪怕这些事无差异很大，甚至当这样做没有好处甚至有害时也不例外。相反，我们应该避免把一个事物和其他事物进行比较，任何事物都应与他自己的方式予以考虑。

　　argument203.The following appeared in a newspaper feature story."At the small, nonprofit hospital in the town of Saluda, the average length of a patient&aposs stay is two days; at the large, for-profit hospital in the nearby city of Megaville, the average patient stay is six days.Also, the cure rate among patients in the Saluda hospital is about twice that of the Megaville hospital. The Saluda hospital has more employees perpatient than the hospital in Megaville, and there are few complaints about service at the local hospital. Such data indicate that treatment in smaller, nonprofit hospitals is more economical and of better quality than treatment in larger, for-profit hospitals."

　　在Saluda镇的小型非盈利医院，患者平均逗留时间是两天;在邻近的Megaville市的大型盈利医院，患者平均逗留时间为6天。而且，Saluda医院患者的治愈率大约是Megaville医院的两倍。Saluda平均每个患者对应的医务人员的数量比Megaville医院多，而且地方医院关于服务的投诉也较少。这些数据表明小型非盈利医院的治疗比大型盈利医院更加经济，质量更高。
