哲人

A sage once said:"Y our attitude is your master ". I appreciate it very much.

一位哲人说过："你的心态就是你的主人"这个我很欣赏。

But the task of sages is one thing, the task of clever men is another.

但是哲人的工作是一回事，机灵人的工作是另一回事。

Strike a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; reprove the intelligent, and they will gain knowledge.

鞭打亵慢人，愚蒙人必长见识；责备明哲人，他就明白知识。

Everyone in "SEER" is proud of over a thousand masterpiece in the past two decades.

二十年的努力，近千件作品，是思哲人的骄傲。

Thus, in every American deliberative assembly having no rules for conducting business, the motion to adjourn, when it does not dissolve the assembly, would be decided to be undebatable, as in Congress, the English parliamentary law to the contrary notwithstanding; so if the previous question were negatived, the debate upon the subject would continue, as in Congress, whereas in Parliament the subject would be immediately dismissed; so, too, the previous question could be moved when there was before the assembly a motion either to commit, or to postpone definitely or indefinitely, just as in Congress, notwithstanding that, according to English parliamentary law, the previous question could not be moved under such circumstances.

认真地探究人的智慧本质，他和大多数西方哲人一样，发现人是一种最难被道理说服的动物。当发生分歧的时候，不管分歧的基础是什么，或者出于利益冲突，或者出于信仰理念，或者出于知识经验的不同，反正一旦分歧明确公开，是非常难以在短短几个钟头或几天里靠语言的交流来达到一方说服一方的。分歧的双方找到共同点的可能不是不存在，但是这需要有一定的交流机制，否则，一方说清楚了，另一方根本没听进去，还是白搭。

One of the fathers, in great severity, called poesy vinum daemonum, because it fills the imagination; and yet it is, but with the shadow of a lie.

我们父辈中有一位哲人非常严肃地用拉丁文把诗叫做"美酒似的魔鬼"，因为诗充满想象，尽管诗只带有谎言的影子。

The distinctly antireligious sentiments of the Epicurean and stoic philosophers, which had developed along with the rise of the Roman Empire, gave way to a slew of cults and emerging religions vying for people's beliefs.

伊壁鸠鲁以及斯多各派哲人向来无意于宗教的柔情，而他们却是罗马崛起一直以来，思想上的倚仗；去宗教化的思潮已然过时，狂热的崇拜与各种宗教信仰纷纷浮出水面，牵扯着人们的内心。

Comment on this contestation will not only deepen our knowledge about the trend of the contemporary western political philosophy and ethics, but also help us learn from the justice ideas of contemporary western philosophers, and then promote our theoretical and practical creation as to the social justice problem.

对这场公正之争进行梳理和述评，不仅可以加深我们对当代西方政治哲学、伦理学整体走向的把握，而且可以将当代西方哲人的公正思想借鉴过来，为我所用，从而推动我们在社会公正问题上的理论创新和实践。

These two qualities, the daunting and the fascinating, combine in a strange harmony of contrasts, and the resultant dual character of the numinous consciousness, to which the entire religious development bears witness, at any rate from the level of the 'daemonic dread' onwards, is at once the strangest and most noteworthy phenomenon in the whole history of religion.

帕斯卡认为世界上有两种智慧：一是那种简单无知的大众，他们生活在传统与想象的智慧中，以似乎是盲目，毫无抵抗的方式彻底掘弃自己地相信一种信念，然后通过约定俗成的礼仪与传古的神话来巩固自己的信念；另一种是圣人与哲人，这是一种通过科学，理性与哲学的探讨来认识自己的无知。

We are more aware of the fragileness of life: the failure in exams, the frustration in getting a promotion, the disharmony between neighbours, the contradictions in the family, the lover who transfers his/her love from one person to another one, the quarrels between children, the bickers between brothers, even those trivialities could make one out of his senses, disturb his mind greatly, thus leading to the crisis of life -- commiting suicide or killing others.

我们更为清楚的是生命的脆弱：考试失败，晋级受挫，提拔无望，邻里失和，家内矛盾，恋人移情，小孩吵架，兄弟斗嘴等等，甚至是许多鸡毛蒜皮，提不起筷子的事也都可以令人失去理性，心智大乱而导致生命的危机：自杀或杀人。所以很多深刻的哲人在总结了形形色色的人生后，都叹说生命何其脆弱。但是也有一些人，人间所有的苦难和不幸都好像冲他而来，他痛苦他悲伤他哭泣，但却都承受了下来，依然清醒而理智，依然从容而坚定，依然一丝不苟地走完自己的人生道路。

As she looked at Warrington's manly face, and dark, melancholy eyes, she had settled in her mind that he must have been the victim of an unhappy attachment.

每逢看到沃林顿那刚毅的脸，那乌黑、忧郁的眼睛，她便会相信，他一定作过不幸的爱情的受害者。

Maybe they'll disappear into a pothole.

也许他们将在壶穴里消失
