Now there are two kinds of hardening, one of the understanding, the other of the sense of shame, when a man is resolved not to assent to what is manifest nor to desist from contradictions. Most of us are afraid of mortification of the body, and would contrive all means to avoid such a thing, but we care not about the soul’s mortification. And indeed with regard to the soul, if a man be in such a state as not to apprehend anything, or understand at all, we think that he is in a bad condition; but if the sense of shame and modesty are deadened, this we call even power (or strength).

白话

有两种硬化:理智的硬化和羞耻感的硬化。前者是拒绝承认明显事实,后者是死不认错。我们大多怕身体受伤,却不管灵魂麻木。灵魂若完全无知,我们觉得糟糕;但若羞耻心死了,我们反而称之为“强大”。这是颠倒的,真正的强大不是无耻,而是保持良知和判断力。

上下文

爱比克泰德批评人们重视身体而忽视灵魂,尤其把无耻当坚强。

你有没有把“脸皮厚”当成优点?在哪些事上其实需要保持羞耻心?
