Yet, the authority of Aristotle obviously

但是亚里士多德的权威明显
no longer has quite the power that it once did.

不再像当初那么强烈
The attack began not all that long ago,

攻击已经开始了
really only as late as the seventeenth century.

确实是在十七世纪那么晚
A man, who we will read later this semester,

一位我们之后在这学期会读到的人
named Thomas Hobbes, was one who led the pack, led the charge.

托马斯·霍布斯一位带领者
In the forty-sixth chapter of Leviathan,

在他《利维坦》的四十七章
a chapter we will read later,

我们之后会读到
Hobbes wrote, "I believe that scarce anything can be more repugnant

霍布斯写到 "我相信对政府来说没有
to government than much of what Aristotle has said in his Politics,

比亚里士多德在政治学中说的更讨厌
nor more ignorantly than a great part of his Ethics."

却比他《伦理学》中的大部分无知
Think of that

思考一下
