Supporting ideas Eternity is then only a single night. What would not a man give if he might converse with the sons of God? Part I. Death is an unspeakable gain. * * 3. Is Socrates afraid of death? Let us reflect and we shall see that there is great reason to hope that death is a good, for one of two things---either death is a state of nothingness and utter unconsciousness, or, as men say, there is a change and migration of the soul from this world to another. (translate) * * 或者我们换个角度考虑这个问题，我们会看到有很充分的理由让我们相信死亡是很好的事情，因为死亡无非是两种可能情况之一：或者他就是空空的一无所有也一无所知，或者，他就是象人们说的，是灵魂的一种迁移，从这个世界，到另外一个世界。 * * I shall then be able to continue my search into true and false knowledge; as in this world, so also in the next; and I shall find out who is wise, and who pretends to be wise, and who is not. (translate) 4. In pursuit of truth * * 最重要的是，在那儿我可以继续我对真实和虚假知识的研究，就象在这个世界上一样，在那个世界也可以这么去做，我会辨别谁是真正聪明的，谁只是装作聪明而实际上是个笨蛋。 * * In another world they do not put a man to death for asking questions; assuredly not.
