He might have buttonholed a slave bearing a jar of olive oil, and asked the unfortunate man a question on philosophy, for Socrates held that a slave had the same common sense as a man of rank.

他可能会扣住一个拿着一罐橄榄油的奴隶，然后问这个不幸的人一个哲学问题， 因为苏格拉底认为奴隶与有地位的人具有相同的常识。

A man of rank and fortune is, by his station, the distinguished member of a great society, who attend to every part of his conduct, and who thereby oblige him to attend to every part of it himself.

一个有地位和财富的人，就其地位而言，是一个伟大社会的杰出成员，他们会注意他行为的每一部分，从而迫使他自己注意它的每一部分。
