(zěnmele？nǐ yuànyì de huà kěyǐ ɡēnwǒ shuōshuō.)
A: I don't want to talk about it. But you know what? Recently I've seen online that the phenomenon of moral coercion has become increasingly common.
我不想说,但你知道吗？最近我在网上看见,道德绑架的现象越来越普遍了呢。

B: Really? What is the moral coercion?

A: The so-called "moral coercion" is when you hold ordinary people to the standards of a saint or using values to hold people to a moral obligation.
所谓的"道德绑架",可能是在用圣人的标准要求普通人,用美德来要求道德义务。

B:There is an old Chinese saying: Do not do to others as you would not wish done to yourself. If everyone takes care of their own responsibilities, this will lessen excessive demands on others.
中国有句老话：己所不欲,勿施于人。每个人履行自己的职责,就会减少对别人的过度要求。
