" Silence" ! cried the mason; " silence, for the love of God, or I shall lose my reason" !

“别说！”那石匠父亲大声地叱止。“别说！我听了心都碎了！”

Was he losing his reason and thinking he heard things which were not for human ears?

他是不是失去了理智，以为自己听到了不属于人耳的声​​音？

He face was that of a man who has lost his old reason for life and seeks a new one.

他的脸是一个人的脸， 他已经失去了旧的生活理由， 正在寻找新的理由。

The only way we can accept the transformations we can see with our own eyes, without losing our reason, is to admit the existence of more than one single basic substance.

如果我们要接受自己亲眼所见的各种大自然的变化而又不致违反自己的理性，唯一的方式就只有承认世间存在着一种以上的基本物质。
