来自《耶鲁大学开放课程：资本主义：成功、危机与改革第5集第5集》

He was given to thinking about hard cases;

他善于思考棘手案例
about why things were done as they were.

思考为什么当初事情会被那样处理
And he was most of all an intellectual skeptic.

他是一位聪明的怀疑者
He was most of all inclined to doubt human knowledge,

他尤其倾向于怀疑人类知识
to lean on fallibility and ignorance,

更相信错误和无知
to look at Marxist historicism, which we discussed last time,

认为我们上次讲的马克思主义史观
as horse feathers.

是一派胡言
He was contemptuous of not Marx alone,

他不止藐视马克思
but of whomsoever imagines that

他藐视所有
there is a deterministic course for world history, a);

其一认为人类史遵循注定的轨迹的人
and that they know what is, b);

其二自认为了解了这条轨迹的人
neither a nor b washes with Hayek.

海耶克对这两种人理解不来
