For there had never, perhaps, been a time when Cato's virtue appeared more manifestly; and every class of men in Utica could clearly see, with sorrow and admiration, how entirely free was everything that he was doing from any secret motives or any mixture of self-regard; he, namely, who had long before resolved on his own death, was taking such extreme pains, toil, and care, only for the sake of others, that when he had secured their lives, he might put an end to his own. For it was easily perceived, that he had determined to die, though he did not let it appear.

白话
也许从来没有一个时刻,加图的美德显得如此分明;乌提卡的各个阶层都带着悲伤和钦佩清楚地看到,他所做的一切完全没有任何隐秘动机或私心杂念。他早已决心赴死,却为了别人付出极大的辛劳、努力和关怀,只为确保他们的生命安全后,才结束自己的生命。因为人们很容易看出,他已决意死亡,尽管他并不显露出来。
