被误导的

• Under the force of this view , it was perhaps inevitable that the art of rhetoric should pass from the status of being regarded as of questionable worth ( because although it might be both a source of pleasure and a means to urge people to right action , it might also be a means to distort truth and a source of misguided action ) to the status of being wholly condemned
  在这种观点下，下文是不可避免的，修辞艺术从被认为是有可疑的价值的地位（因为尽管它可能是快乐的来源，和促使人们正确行动的方法，但是，它也可能是歪曲事实的手段，和被误导的行为的来源）转变到彻底被谴责的地位。
