2)造句

语境：存在即是合理的实际上是黑格尔原话一种误导性的翻译。

造句：

The famous Chinese saying “the existence of something at present is a justification for it” （存在即是合理）is widely used to justify things or actions even unjust and unacceptable, however as a translation of Hegel’s words “what is real is rational and what is rational is real ”, it is misleading: it overemphasizes the front part of the original sentence, which is usually considered to be an evidence of Hegel’s notorious conservatism, but blots out it’s second half, which together with the front part shows Hegel’s unabridged philosophical insight that anything irrational could exist under its particular historical conditions for a while , but finally something rational will prevail.
