    Writers still say man's inhumanity to man: people being terrible to people. It is a heavy, serious word, more at home in news, history, and speeches than in everyday talk.

    Writers作家 still say還是會說 man's inhumanity to man man's inhumanity to man: people being terrible to people意思是人對人的殘忍。It is這是 a heavy, serious word一個沉重、嚴肅的字, more at home in news, history, and speeches比較常出現在新聞、歷史,和演講裡 than in everyday talk日常說話比較少用。
