TRANSLATION
Directions: Find the following sentences in the text and translate them into Cbinese.
1. The world seen through the eyes, that is the prison house; the light of the fire is like the power of the sun; and if you see the way out and that looking upon things of the upper world as the going up of the soul to the field of true thought,you will have my hopes or beliefs about it and they are what you desired- though only Cod knows if they are right. Be that as it may, what seems clear to me is that in the field of deep knowledge the last thing to be seen, and hardly seen, is the idea of the good. When that is seen, our decision has to be that it is truly the cause, for all things, of all that is beautiful and right. In the world that is to be seen, it gives birth to light and to the lord oflight, but in the field of thought it is itself the master cause of reason and all that is true; and anyone who is to act wisely in private or public must have seen this.
2. \"It is natural that in other states men of your quality do not take part in the common work. For in these states such men come into being of their own sweet will and without the will of the govemment. Teachers of themselves, they have no cause to feel in debt to the state for an education they were never given. But you we begot to be rulers of yourselves and of the state. You have had a betterand more complete education than any of the others; so down you go into thecave with the rest to get used to seeing in the dark. For then you will see far better than they do what these images are, and what they are of, for you have seen what the beautiful, the just and the good truly are. \" So our state will beruled by minds which are awake, and not as now by men in a dream fighting with one another over shadows and for the power and office which in their eyes are the great good. Truly that state is best and most quietly ruled where the rulers have least desire to be such, and the state with the opposite sort of rulers is the worst. And will you name any other sort of man than a philosopher who looks down on political office?
3. This then, at last, Glaucon, is the law itself, the true music played by dialectic. It is the work of thought but has its parallel in our power to see- which, in my comparison, came after a time to see living things, and then the stars, and at last the sun itself. So it is with dialectic: when a man-through thinking about what we mean, putting the records of the senses on one side- attempts to make his way into the very being of each thing and keeps on till bythought itself he takes in what the good is itself, he comes to the linut of the world of thought, as the other in our parallel came to the end of what may be seen.
4. And the freeing from the chains and the tuming away from the shadows to the images, and to the light, and the ascent from that dark cave under earth to the sunlight, and that increase of power to see real things in place of reflections merely and shadows thrown by a fire which was but an image of the sun-all that is the parallel to what these arts we have been talking of do for us, to their power to guide what is best in the soul up to the stage of looking upon what is best in the things which are-as in our parallel what is clearest in the body was tumed round to see what is brightest of the bodily things wluch may be seen.
