塞内卡:塞内卡道德书简·摘录 42

塞内卡《塞内卡道德书简》· Seneca's Morals · 健康 · 投资

Writing does well, but personal discourse and conversation does better; for men give great credit to their ears, and take stronger impressions from example than precept. Cleanthes had never hit Zeno so to the life if he had not been in with him at all his privacies, if he had not watched and observed him whether or not he practised as he taught. Plato got more from Socrates’ _manners_ than from his _words_, and it was not the _school_, but the company and _familiarity_ of Epicurus that made Metrodorus, Hermachus and Polyænus so famous.

白话

写作有好处,但面对面的交谈和相处更好;因为人们很相信耳朵,从榜样得到的印象比从训诫得到的更强烈。克莱安西斯若不曾与芝诺亲密相处,不曾观察他是否言行一致,就绝不会把芝诺刻画得如此逼真。柏拉图从苏格拉底的举止中学到的比从言辞中学到的更多;使梅特罗多鲁斯、赫尔马库斯和波吕埃努斯出名的是伊壁鸠鲁的陪伴和熟悉,而不是他的学派。所以,想学东西,靠近那个人比读他的书更有效。

上下文

塞内加引用古希腊哲学家芝诺、苏格拉底、伊壁鸠鲁等人的例子,说明身教重于言传。
