Synecdoche

"Perhaps I should say again, as I said at the beginning of this study, that I am not denying that the modern world is through and through different from the ancient world."

古之学者为己，今之学者为人。

"I am not suggesting either, that we should feel sorry for ourselves because we are not Homeric or tragic or Periclean people. One of the most persistent fantasies, at least of the Western world, is that there was a time when things were both more beautiful and less fragmented; the oldest expression of that fantasy indeed is to be found already in the earliest Greek literature, and it embodies both those grounds of nostalgia."

少年听雨歌楼上，玲珑骰子安红豆。思往事、惜流芳、易成伤，梦里如燕，几回汴梁。

"But it is always a fantasy, and no serious study of the ancient world should encourage us to go back to that world to search for a lost unity, in our social relations to one another or, come to that, in our relations to Being."

我怀念的，是无言感动；我怀念的，是绝对炽热。总是学不会，再聪明一点。

"And if we find things of a special beauty and power in what has survived from that world, it is encouraging to think that we might move beyond marvelling at them, to putting them, or bits of them, to modern uses."

满天的雪在下，将我的心蒸发。可是，人生完美的事太少。随着我的感情，随着我的心情，高低起伏淡去了。用你给我的翅膀飞，这感觉就是安慰？

"...to demonstrate the rationality of history is to offer not only an intellectual explanation of the course of events, but a moral justification of it too."

有一善，从而赏之，又从而咏歌嗟叹之，所以乐其始而勉其终。有一不善，从而罚之，又从而哀矜惩创之，所以弃其旧而开其新。

"Rick, forgive me for doing this in notes. I'm not strong enough to do it in persons. I realize now that I am attracted to you for the same reason I cannot be with you. You can't change. And I have no problem with that, but it clearly means I have a problem with myself. I'm sure there's no perfect version of me. I'm sure I'll just unify species after species and never really be complete. But I know how it goes with us. I'll lose who I am and become part of you. Because in a strange way, you are better at what I do without trying. Yours, and nobody else's, Unity."

未见君子，忧心忡忡；亦既见止，亦既觏止，我心则降。 你 何以始终不说话 尽管讲出不快吧 事与冀盼有落差 请不必惊怕 我 仍然会冷静聆听 仍然紧守于身边 与你进退也共鸣

时日会蔓延再蔓延 某些不可改变的改变 与一些不要发现的发现 就这么放大了缺点 来让我问谁可决定 那些东西叫作完美至善 我只懂得 爱你在每天

当潮流爱新鲜 当旁人爱标签 幸得伴着你我 是窝心的自然 当闲言再尖酸 给他妒忌多点 因世上的至爱 是不计较条件 谁又可清楚看见

美 难免总有些缺憾 若果不甘心去问 问到最尾叫内心 也长出裂痕 笑 何妨与你又重温 仍然我说我庆幸 你永远胜过别人

期待美没完爱没完 放开不必打算的打算 作一些可以约定的约定 就抱紧以后每一天 其实你定然都发现 我有很多未达完美事情 我只懂得 再努力每天

当潮流爱新鲜 当旁人爱标签 幸得伴着你我 是窝心的自然 当闲言再尖酸 给他妒忌多点 因世上的至爱 是不计较条件 谁又可清楚看见 S.B.
