Ordinary material objects of this world

现实世界的普通物体
can partake of the various Platonic forms,

能够分有各种各样的型相
but they should not be confused with the Platonic forms.

但不能把它们同型相混为一谈
But we still-- even though we don't bump into the Platonic

尽管在这个世界上无法遇到型相
forms in this world-- we can think about them.

但是我们仍能去设想
Our mind has a kind of grasp of them.

我们的心灵多少能掌握一些
Of course, the problem is,

但问题在于
we're distracted by the comings and goings,

在这个普通寻常的世界上
the hurly burly of the ordinary everyday world.

来往喧嚣吸引了我们的注意力
And so we don't have a very good grasp of the Platonic forms.

我们无法对柏拉图式的型相有深入了解
We're able to think about them,

我们可以去设想它们
but we're distracted.

却无法集中注意力
