普鲁塔克

当普鲁塔克建议批评家应该能够创造出“更好的作品”时，有两种方法可以解释他的意思。

There are two ways to interpret Plutarch when he suggests that a critic should be able to produce " a better in its place . "

但也许普鲁塔克的建议有些许不同、更接近于马库斯·西塞罗的主张，即一个人应该“通过创造而不是通过发现错误来批评”。

But perhaps Plutarch is suggesting something slightly different , something a bit closer to Marcus Cicero 's claim that one should " criticize by creation , not by finding fault . "

普鲁塔克说：“反对别人的言论不是什么难事。但要在自己的立场上创造出更好的言论，则是一件极其麻烦的工作。”

It is a thing of no great difficulty , according to Plutarch , " to raise objections against another man 's speech , it is a very easy matter ; but to produce a better in its place is a work extremely troublesome . "

第一是古典史学传统对普鲁塔克著作思想的影响。

普鲁塔克和其他叛军领袖都能理解她，但当他们拍摄第一部宣传录像时，他们就错了，因为他们要给她写台词，这同时也是在压制她的声音。

Plutarch and the rest of the rebel leaders understand that , but when they make that first propaganda video , they get it wrong because , by writing the script for her , they also silence her .

希腊的历史学家普鲁塔克告诫人们不要纵情于美味佳肴。希腊名医伽林也成立了一个“减肥营”，通过让那些过度肥胖的人每天晨跑至汗流浃背来使他们“从大胖子转变为体格正常之人”。

Plutarch exhorted people to avoid indulging in delicacies and Galen invented the ' fat camp ' when he ' reduced a huge fat fellow to moderates size ... by making him run every morning until he fell into a profuse sweat ' .

18岁时，为了追寻我当时还无法解释的东西，我踏上了学习古典文学的征途并汲取了许多知识，其中一点便是希腊作家普鲁塔克所说：我们的内在修养将会改变外在的现实。

One of the many things I learned at the end of that Classics corridor down which I ventured at the age of 18 , in search of something I could not then define , was this , written by the Greek author Plutarch : What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality .
