The most elementary form of moral reasoning—the ethical equivalent of learning to crawl—is to weigh others’ interests against one’s own. This in turn requires sympathy and imagination: without which there is no capacity for moral thought. To see an animal in pain is enough, for most, to engage sympathy.

When that happens, it is not a mistake: it is mankind’s instinct for moral reasoning in action, an instinct that should be encouraged rather than laughed at.
1. 句子主干为it is not a mistake; when that happens为时间状语；“：”之后为句子的同位语从句，起解释说明作用。
2. 同位语从句的主干为it/ is /mankind’s instinct; for moral reasoning in action 为后置定语修饰instinct; an instinct that …对instinct进行补充说明。
instinct / ˈinstiŋkt / n. 本能
reason / ˈri:zn / vt. 推理
When that happens, it is not a mistake: it is mankind’s instinct for moral reasoning in action, an instinct that should be encouraged rather than laughed at.
这种情况的发生并不是错误，而是人类用道德观念进行推理的本能在起作用。这种本能应该得到鼓励，而不应该遭到嘲笑。
