great country, but it has one thousand prisons, and the prisons are full of women and men, breakers of a thousand laws.
It is indeed a great country, but the people thereof are descendants of one thousand law-givers and of only one wise king.
哲学家和补鞋匠
一个哲学家穿着破旧的鞋进了修鞋店，哲学家对鞋匠说：“请帮我修修鞋。”
鞋匠说：“我正在给另一个人修鞋，还有很多别人的鞋要修呢，然后才能修你的。把你的鞋留在这儿，今天穿走这双别人的吧，明天来取你自己的。”
听了这话，哲学家愤愤地说：“我决不穿别人的鞋。”
鞋匠说道：“好吧，你真的是个哲学家吗，就不能用别人的鞋来包裹你的脚吗？这条街上还有一个鞋匠，他比我更了解哲学家们，你去找他修吧。”
The Philosopher and The Cobbler
There came to a cobbler’s shop a philosopher with worn shoes. And the philosopher said to the cobbler, “Please mend my shoes.”
And the cobbler said,“I am mending another man’s shoes now, and there are still other shoes to patch before I can come to yours. But leave your shoes here, and wear this other pair today, and come tomorrow for your own.”
Then the philosopher was indignant, and he said, “I wear no shoes that are not mine own.”
And the cobbler said,“Well then, are you in truth a philosopher, and cannot enfold your feet with the shoes of another man? Upon this very street there is another cobbler who understands philosophers better than I do. Go you to him for mending.”
It is indeed a great country, but the people thereof are descendants of one thousand law-givers and of only one wise king.
