请教这句话的意思(AI题)
Each generation must accept blame not only for the hateful words and actions of some of its members but also for the failure of other members to speak out against those words and actions. The underlying idea of this sentence is that not only should we be judged on what we have done—hateful words and actions in this case. We should also be judged on what we have not done—speaking out against prejudice in this case. There is a concept of sins of commission and sins of omission in Christianity. Sins of commission are sins that we have committed, such as hating others because of their race, sex, national origin, or ethnicity. Sins of omission are what we have omitted to do, and such inaction is also considered sinful. For example, your friends are saying that blacks are just like apes, and you just sit there without objecting to their prejudice. That is a sin of omission.That is what this sentence is about. Thank you very much~
