Most philosophers, rightly or wrongly, believe that philosophy can do much more than this—that it can give us knowledge, not otherwise attainable, concerning the universe as a whole, and concerning the nature of ultimate reality.

无论对错，都相信哲学可以做的远不止于此——它可以给我们提供知识， 这些知识是通过其他方式无法获得的， 涉及整个宇宙， 涉及终极现实的本质。

It was fantastic to hear that great hulking bum, who'd been thrown out of his own world, that sardonic, bitter down-and-out, speaking of the ultimate reality of things and the blessedness of union with God.

听到那个被赶出自己的世界的大流浪汉， 那个讽刺的、苦涩的穷困潦倒的流浪汉， 谈论事物的终极现实和与上帝结合的幸福， 真是太棒了。
