关键字：冒号解释说明、not取反、that引导定语从句解释说明空格中应该填入一个名词，表示一种不被人们广泛接受的思想与态度，后面冒号解释说明，所描述的是被认为是智慧、即广泛存在的思想与态度是什么，因而选取对应词语的反义词就是空格中应该填入的词语。这里cynical conviction中的conviction是“信念、信仰”的意思。由于犬儒主义涉及到的内容很多，因而我们看看是犬儒主义的什么部分被人们所广泛接受。其被接受的是everybody has an angle这样一个情况，即人与人之间存在着偏向与争端。因此选取“不相争、不偏向”作为空格中应该填入的词语即可。词汇解释：# b/ n' Q% f( R% E5 |$ x/ m
