来自《耶鲁大学开放课程：政治哲学导论第5集》

own desires and pleasures to the group,

把个人欲求放在第二位
and live a life by a strict code of honor.

并且按照光荣的信条生活
We have to ask: are Socrates' proposals unrealistic?

我们要问苏格拉底的建议是否不现实呢
Are they undesirable?

是不是不受欢迎的
Or are they desirable?

或者他们会受欢迎吗
They are not undesirable if you believe as he does

这其实是可接受的如果你也像他一样同意
that even the best city must provide provisions for war,

即使是最优秀的城市也要备战
and therefore a warrior's life, a soldier's life,

因此生为一个战士一名士兵
will require harsh privation

将要遭受严重的
in terms of material rewards and benefits

物质匮乏和极少的物质回馈
as well as a willingness to sacrifice for others.

但又要有随时为他人牺牲的意愿
It would seem far from being unrealistic,

这并不是不切实际的
