Ifelt my cheeks grow red with sudden anger. It was impossible to make himunderstand that one might be outraged by his callous selfishness. I longed TOPierce his armour of complete indifference. I knew also that in the end therewas truth in what he said. Unconsciously, perhaps, we treasure the power wehave over people by their regard for our opinion of them, and we hate thoseupon whom we have no such influence. I suppose it is the bitterest wound tohuman pride. But I would not let him see that I was put out.
"Isit possible for any man to disregard others entirely?" I said, though moreto myself than to him. "You're dependent on others for everything inexistence. It's a preposterous attempt to try to live only for yourself and byyourself. Sooner or later you'll be ill and tired and old, and then you'llcrawl back into the herd. Won't you be ashamed when you feel in your heart thedesire for comfort and sympathy? You're trying an impossible thing. Sooner orlater the human being in you will yearn for the common bonds of humanity."
请教老师：
没了解 by theirregard for our opinion of them - 不会剖析语法和成分？
另外，the humanbeing in you will...这里的being可有可无吧？
1 by在此意为因为、基于。by their regard for our opinion of them. 基于他们对大家对他们的怎么看的同意/尊重。介词短语作we have power over people是什么原因状语。
2 the human being为名词，指人类、人性。
