One is the Theory of Moral Sentiments, by Adam Smith. The other is the Meditations [of Marcus Aurelius]. There are too many memoirs selling nowadays. I don't like reading those books.

一本是亚当·史密斯的《道德精神理论》，一本是马可·奥利斯·伍斯的《沉思录》，现在市面上有太多回忆录了，我不喜欢读这些书。

Like Seneca before him, Marcus Aurelius believed that a divine providence had placed reason in man, and it was in the power of man to be one with the rational purpose of the universe.

像之前的塞涅卡一样，马尔库斯·奥勒留相信，一种神圣的天意给予人们理性，并且支配着人们，使其具有宇宙的合理目的。

Socrates should enter into Adam and produce Marcus Aurelius; in other words, the man of wisdom should be made to emerge from the man of felicity. Eden should be changed into a Lyceum.

苏格拉底应和亚当合为一体，并且产生马可·奥里略，换句话说，就是要使享乐的人转为明理的人，把乐园转为学园。
