1. While no one is daft enough to say poverty excuses looting, some insist that poverty has everything to do with what has happened.
然而没有人愚蠢到会说贫穷是发生打劫的理由，只有一部分人坚持认为贫穷和所发生的一切都搭得上关系。
- daft (adj.) Old English gedæfte "gentle, becoming," from Proto-Germanic *gadaftjaz (source also of Old English daeftan "to put in order, arrange," gedafen "suitable;" Gothic gadaban "to be fit"), from PIE *dhabh- "to fit together" (see fabric). Sense of "mild, well-mannered" (c. 1200) led to that of "dull, awkward" (c. 1300). Further evolution to "foolish" (mid-15c.), "crazy" (1530s) probably was influenced by analogy with daffe "halfwit" (see daffy); the whole group probably has a common origin.
