普鲁塔克:希腊罗马名人传·摘录 40

普鲁塔克《希腊罗马名人传》· Plutarch's Lives · 领导 · 历史

And, in fact, it is told that the great-grandfather of our Fabius, who was undoubtedly the greatest man of Rome in his time, both in reputation and authority, who had been five times consul, and had been honored with several triumphs for victories obtained by him, took pleasure in serving as lieutenant under his own son, when he went as consul to his command. And when afterwards his son had a triumph bestowed upon him for his good service, the old man followed, on horseback, his triumphant chariot, as one of his attendants; and made it his glory, that while he really was, and was acknowledged to be, the greatest man in Rome, and held a father's full power over his son, he yet submitted himself to the laws and the magistrate.

白话

事实上,据说我们这位法比乌斯的曾祖父——当时罗马无疑最伟大的人,无论声望还是权威——曾五次任执政官,并因战功多次获凯旋荣誉,却乐于在儿子任执政官出征时做他的副将。后来儿子因功获凯旋式,老人骑马跟在凯旋战车后,作为随从之一;他把这视为荣耀:自己确实是、也被公认为罗马最伟大的人,对儿子拥有父亲的全部权力,却仍服从法律和长官。

上下文

普鲁塔克《法比乌斯传》中追述家族前辈的轶事,强调罗马共和传统中对法律与官职的尊重。

今日一问

当你拥有资历和权威时,是否愿意在制度面前放下身段,服从更年轻的上级?
