s now a hodgepodge of celebrity takedowns and videos of ugly brides or of kids who can't sing in the school play. Young people these days are especially vulnerable to such attacks, since so much of their lives are lived online.
网络已经成为传播尴尬事情的主渠道，其内容堪比大杂烩，既有名人的露丑记录，又有难看的新娘，还有在学校表演中唱不出歌的小孩子。年轻人尤其容易在网络上受到羞辱，因为他们有很大一部分生活都是在网上度过的。

The word "humiliation' is rooted in the Latin word humus, which means 'dirt.' Too much of our online world is now devoted to dirt, to the enterprise of immediately spreading embarrassing moments, or of exaggerating people's foibles," says Dr. Mills, the American studies professor.
“羞辱”(humiliation)这个词来源于拉丁语"humus"，意思是“污物”(dirt)。研究美国文化的米尔斯说，我们的网络世界如今有很大一部分用在了阴暗的东西上，比如说快速传播他人的尴尬、夸大他人的缺陷等等。

He believes things can improve if more of us make a simple pledge, telling ourselves: "We're better than that."
米尔斯相信，情况还是可以有所改善的，条件是更多的人能够约束自己，对自己说一句，我们绝不同流合污。
