英语翻译
The most interesting and astounding contradiction in life is to me the constantinsistence by nearly all people upon “logic,” “logical reasoning,”“sound reasoning,” on the one hand,and on the other their inability todisplay it,and their unwillingness to accept it when displayed by others.1
Most of our so-called reasoning consists in finding arguments for goingon believing as we already do.2
Clear thinking is a very rare thing,but even just plain thinking is almostas rare.Most of us most of the time do not think at all.We believe andwe feel,but we do not think.3
Mental indolence is one of the commonest of human traits.4其中第二段我不明白,求帮忙翻译,并解释下为什么翻译,

英语翻译The most interesting and astounding contradiction in life is to me the constantinsistence by nearly all people upon “logic,” “logical reasoning,”“sound reasoning,” on the one hand,and on the other their inability todisplay it,
清晰思考的能力是异常难得的,但其实甚至是普通的思考能力也是难得的.我们中的大多数人,在大多数的时候,根本不去思考.我们去相信、去感受,但我们不去思考.
为什么?--因为大多数人的头脑每天被大量的信息充斥着,凭靠这些现成的信息进行着快节奏的工作生活,没有时间,好像也没有必要去思考自己所获取的信息,只需坐享其成,去相信、感受别人思考出来的东西.长此以往,他们就失去了自己思考的能力和动力.

说一下我的理解，看了第1和第2段：
翻译：大多数我们所谓的reasoning的判断,都是因为它们能够给我们现在所相信的东西，提供一些理由。（即，这样的判断，可以说服我们自己，为什么我们相信现在所相信的东西）
主语: most of our so-called reasoning，不解释了
谓语：consists in，意为depends on, be based on

说一下我的理解，看了第1和第2段：
翻译：大多数我们所谓的reasoning的判断,都是因为它们能够给我们现在所相信的东西，提供一些理由。（即，这样的判断，可以说服我们自己，为什么我们相信现在所相信的东西）
主语: most of our so-called reasoning，不解释了
谓语：consists in，意为depends on, be based on
based on什么呢，on finding arguments, 即reasoning的判断是基于找到了arguments for xxxxx
Arguments：a set of reasons that show that something is true or untrue. (朗文字典）,后面用for或者against做介词，意思是“对于论证sth的一系列理由”
sth在此等于 goingon believing as we already do，意为我们已经相信了并仍在相信的事（自己理解吧）
整体翻译，reasoning的判断是由于，我们以此为我们现在所相信的事，找到了一些理由。
