将“利他主义”的定义定得如此狭隘，以至于只能用于奉献与个人总体利益相悖的情形，这就失去了最重要的要点 — — 最理想的状况莫过于促进他人利益与促进自身利益一致。
To define “altruism” so narrowly that the term can be applied only when giving is contrary to a person’s overall interest would miss the point that the best situation to bring about is one in which promoting the interests of others harmonizes with promoting one’s own.
