Here's the translation to American English:

There's a characteristic of today's groups: when you don't chat with someone, you think they're ordinary and unremarkable.

Once you have a conversation with them, you start to feel they're quite decent—thoughtful, distinctive, have solid values and principles. You look at them with newfound respect.

But when you stretch this timeframe longer, these thoughtful people with solid values gradually become ordinary again. It's as if all those precious inner qualities haven't translated into any meaningful external impact. Their behavior still just revolves around eating and drinking, blending seamlessly into the crowd.

I find this puzzling: are these admirable, precious inner qualities a form of "new mediocrity" born from improved societal discourse and elevated overall intellectual standards? Or is it that precious inner qualities simply have limited utility in our current society?

It feels to me like the game system got upgraded overall—character models are more refined—but NPCs are still NPCs.

They're awake, but not yet able to or haven't managed to rise and run; they can see the other shore, but still live on this side amid the hustle and bustle.

They strike me as contradictory: saying one thing, doing another.

People package shallow lives with profound thoughts.
