So they're drinking and they're talking,

所以他们边喝酒边讨论
and both of these are supposed to go on at the same time.

二者应该是同时进行的
And here's the thing;

所以飨宴的目的是
the idea is to drink as much as you can

让你在开怀痛饮的同时
without passing out

又不至于醉得不省人事
and at the end of Plato's Symposium everybody is out,

在柏拉图飨宴的最后大家都醉倒了
except for Socrates who looks around and says,

除了苏格拉底他看着周围说
"oh well no more conversation everybody's asleep."

"好的都没话说了大家都睡着了"
Off he goes, and we know who won that one.

然后他转身就走我们知道谁赢了
Why could they do that?

他们为什么这样
Well, they weren't ignorant undergraduates,

他们可不是幼稚的大学生
but beyond that they drank wine,

他们喝的是美酒
