The evil was not in bread and circuses, per se, but in the willingness of the people to sell their rights as free men for full bellies and the excitement of the games which would serve to distract them from the other human hungers which bread and circuses can never appease.

邪惡並不在於「面包和遊戲」，而在於人們願意出賣他們作為自由人的權利，以換取飽腹的肚子和遊戲帶來的刺激，這些刺激會使他們轉移注意力，忘記那些「面包和遊戲」永遠無法滿足的其他人類需求。
