Won't we say with Aeschylus whatever comes to our lips?

为什么我们不能像埃斯库罗斯这样脱口而出呢
The idea of having the liberty to say whatever comes to our lips

民主内涵着言无不尽的意思
sounds to Plato like a kind of blasphemy.

这在柏拉图听来确实不敬神的
The view that nothing is shameful,

这种观点认为没有可耻的观点
that everything should be permitted, to say whatever comes to our lips

凡事可言无不尽
comes from the denial of any restraints on our desires

这种观点来自拒绝一切对欲望的克制
or a kind of relativistic belief

或一种相对主义的信念
that all desires are equal and all should be permitted.

所有欲望是平等的并且是被允许的
Plato's views on democracy were not all negative, to be sure.

当然柏拉图并非全盘否定民主
He wasn't only a critic of democracy.

他不仅仅是一个民主批判者
It was, after all, a democracy that produced Socrates

他首先受到来自苏格拉底民主概念的影响
and allowed him to philosophize freely until his seventieth year.

从而使他一直到七十多岁都能自由哲思
