When I look upon the tombs of the great , every emotion of envy dies in me; when I read the epitaphs of the beautiful , even inordinate desire goes out; when I meet with the grief of parents upon a tombstone , my heart melts with compassion; when I see the tomb of the parents of themselves , I consider the vanity of grieving for those who deposed them , when I consider rival wits placed side by side , or the holy men that divided the world with their contests and disputes , I reflect with sorrow and astonishment on the little competitions , factions , and debates of mankind .
當(dāng)我瞻仰偉人的墳?zāi)?，心中所有的嫉妒頓時煙消云散；當(dāng)我讀到偉人的悼文，所有的非分之想頃刻消失殆盡；當(dāng)我遇見在墓碑旁悲痛欲絕的父母親，我的心中也滿懷同情；當(dāng)我看到那些父母親自己的墳?zāi)?，我不禁感慨：既然我們很快都要追隨逝者的腳步，悲傷又有何用。當(dāng)我看到國王與那些將他們廢黜的人躺在一起，當(dāng)我想到那些爭斗一生的智者，或是那些通過競爭和爭執(zhí)將世界分裂的圣人們被后人并排葬在一起，我對人類的那些微不足道的競爭、內(nèi)訌和爭論感到震驚和悲傷。
