导论44页:

In the other sciences which deal with human actions, this division between the study of the thing done and the study of the being who does it is not found.

在其他与人类行为相关的科学中,人们还没有发现已做的研究和正做的有什么区别。

 

The second consisted of expositions, with occasional comment and criticism of such classical writers as Comenius, or Locke, or Rousseau; and were curiously like those informal talks on Aristotle, Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau, which, under the name of the Theory of Politics, formed in my time such a pleasant interlude in the Oxford course of Humaner Letters.

后者由讲解构成,所讲的课偶尔配以夸美纽斯、洛克和卢梭等经典作家的注释与批评,在政治理论的名义下,讲解令人充满好奇,如同与亚里士多德、霍布斯、洛克和卢梭等人进行不拘小节的谈话。这是我上牛津大学人文课程时一段愉快的时光。

 

第一部分11页:

It may be worth while, therefore, to attempt a description of some the more obvious or more important political impules, remembering always that in polictics we are dealing not with scuh clear-cut separate instincts as we may find in children and animals, but with tendencies often weakened by the course of human evolution, still more often transferred to new uses, and acting not simply but in combination or counteraction.

因此,在政治中,这就值得去描述一些比较明显、比较重要的政治冲动;值得去记住那些在人类进化的过程中,虽然经常趋向于被弱化,却依然时常转化为新形式的冲动——这种冲动不但单独发挥作用,而且以相互结合、相互抵制的形式发挥作用;而不是去记住那些我们在儿童和动物身上所发现的轮廓清晰、相互分离的本能

 

16页:

The resulting records of immediate pulse disturbances would be of real scientific importance, and it might even be possible to continue the record in each case say, for a quarter of a minute, and to trace the secondary effects of variations in political opinions, education, or the sense of humor among the students.

记录结果立即出现了脉博干扰现象,这是重要而真实的科学事实。甚至有可能的话,实验中可以继续记录每个人的发言,大约15秒钟,追踪学生在政治观点、教育和幽默感上发生变化的间接影响。
