I mean, the Greeks didn't -- Plato's Symposium, all of these guys are sitting around having a drinking party.
我是说,希腊人不这样 --,在柏拉图的飨宴上,人们坐在那里举行酒宴
His complex relationship with Socrates is Alcibiades by the way recounted in the drunken speech that Alcibiades gives in Plato's dialogue Symposium.
他与苏格拉底间,复杂的关系,都由酒醉的,娓娓道来,并记录在柏拉图的,《飨宴篇》辩证中。
And here's the thing; the idea is to drink as much as you can without passing out and at the end of Plato's Symposium everybody is out, except for Socrates who looks around and says, "oh well no more conversation everybody's asleep."
所以,飨宴的目的是,让你在开怀痛饮的同时,又不至于醉得不省人事,在柏拉图飨宴的最后大家都醉倒了,除了苏格拉底,他看着周围说,"好的,都没话说了,大家都睡着了"
That's all they do all night, but they also are talking and they're talking very well as a matter of fact, and the goal of this conversation is, or of this party rather, Symposium means by the way drinking together.
他们彻夜豪饮,但同时也谈经论道,事实上,他们还讨论得不亦乐乎,这场讨论的目的,或是说这场聚会的目的是,顺便说下,"Symposium"的意思是"一起喝酒"
