Now, I want to see what you think about this idea

我想要知道大家是怎么理解这个概念的
but first let's consider a few examples.

但首先让我们来思考一些例子
Kant begins with an example of a shopkeeper.

康德举过一个店主的例子
He wants to bring out the intuition

他想要引出这一直觉
and make plausible the idea

并证明他的观点
that what confers moral worth on an action is that it be done because it's right

行为之所以有道德价值是因为行为本身正确
He says suppose there's a shopkeeper

他假设有个店主
and an inexperienced customer comes in.

然后一位外行顾客进到他到店里
The shopkeeper knows that he could give the customer the wrong change,

店主知道他可以给那名顾客找错零钱
