(原文)Political rhetoric | Down with the people

Politicians who invoke ''the people'' are usually up to no good

Since the first three words of the preamble to the United States' constitution thundered into the world's political lexicon, ''the people'' has been one of the favourite invocations of those in, or in pursuit of, power. It has also been one of the most abused. No state has been as undemocratic or unpopular as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola has paid more attention to liberating the country's assets into its leaders' foreign bank accounts than to freeing Angolans from the oppression of poverty. In the media the formula signals a determination to ignore popular taste: the People's Daily makes no more effort to appeal to its Chinese readers than Pravda did to tell the truth to its Soviet ones. So when Downing Street frames the election Britons are expecting as ''Parliament versus the people'', the people should beware.

References to ''the people'' are standard fare in political speech. Emmanuel Macron, France's president, likes to bang on about the mandat du peuple, and the responsibility it confers. This is fine; the danger arises when ''the people'' are weaponised against a supposed enemy.

It is not just politicians who do this. Princess Diana sais she wanted to be the ''queen of people's hearts'' — in implied contrast to the awkward husband who commanded the affections of nobody but his mistress. But with the rise of populism, the tactic is spreading among politicians. Sometimes the enemy is a foreign one. Hugo Chavez, Venezuela's lat demagogue, called on the people to resist ''the empire'' — George W. Bush was unpopular worldwide, and thus a convenient target. (...)? Boris Johnson, Britain's prime minister, has set himself up as defending the will of ''the people'' against those in Parliament and the courts who are stopping Britain from leaving the European Union without a deal.

Once a politician has defined those who elected him as ''the people'', then he embodies their will and it is but a short step to defining his own enemies as the nation's. (...) Mr. Trump tweets that ''what is taking place is not an impeachment, it is a COUP, intended to take away the Power of the People, their VOTE, their Freedoms, their Second Amendment, Religion, Military, Border Wall, and their God-given rights as a Citizen of The United States of America!''?

(...) And it is what some Americans concluded when Mr. Trump retweeted a pastor's warning that impeachment would ''cause a Civil War like fracture in this Nation''. If ''the people'' take matters into their own hands, what is a president to do? At a recent press conference, AMLO declared, ''I believe that not only you're good journalists but you're also prudent... And if you cross the line, well, you know what happens, right? But it's not me, it's the people.'' He did not specify what the people might do, but Mexico's journalists understand the risks: 12 have been murdered this year.

Voters should keep an ear cocked for this dangerous phrase. It marks the user out not as a democrat but as a scoundrel.

—— Economist, Oct 5, 2019

(仿寫)Healthy product or healthy scam

Those wechat business posters which invoke Natural Product are usually up to no good.?

It's plain for all to see that wechat business is running out of the rules and restrictions of the Administration of Commerce. Since there is no certificate, no guarantee, they could preach whatever they want.

Actually, the invocations, like Healthy Product,?All Natural, No Addition, etc,?have been some of the most abused. Healthy food is getting more and more desirable for people nowadays, even they have paid more attention to buying a product with health mark than getting to know the product itself.

Consumers should keep an ear cocked for this attractive phrase. It marks the buyer out not as a client but as an idiot with money. Recent years have seen too many frauds or scams in the healthy food business. You'd better to unfollow the wechat sales who are in pursuit of money but with favorite invocations of Healthy Product.
