The problem we have to discuss is whether there is any reason for believing in what is called 'the uniformity of nature'.

我们必须讨论的问题是，是否有任何理由相信所谓的“自然的一致性”。

The belief in the uniformity of nature is the belief that everything that has happened or will happen is an instance of some general law to which there are no exceptions.

对自然统一性的信念是相信已经发生或将要发生的一切都是某种普遍规律的实例，没有例外。

The man who has fed the chicken every day throughout its life at last wrings its neck instead, showing that more refined views as to the uniformity of nature would have been useful to the chicken.

在鸡的一生中每天喂它的人最后反而拧了它的脖子，表明对自然均匀性的更精细的看法对鸡是有用的。
