The Story of Philosophy的第95句：第1章Plato第2节II. Socrates第1段第3句：

If we may judge from the bust that has come down to us as part of the ruins of ancient sculpture, Socrates was as far from being handsome as even a philosopher can be. A bald head, a great round face, deep-set staring eyes, a broad and flowery nose that gave vivid testimony to many a Symposium— it was rather the head of a porter than that of the most famous of philosophers. But if we look again we see, through the crudity of the stone, something of that human kindliness and unassuming simplicity which made this homely thinker a teacher beloved of the finest youths in Athens. We know so little about him, and yet we know him so much more intimately than the aristocratic Plato or the reserved and scholarly Aristotle. Across two thousand three hundred years we can yet see his ungainly figure, clad always in the same rumpled tunic, walking leisurely through the agora, undisturbed by the bedlam of politics, buttonholing his prey, gathering the young and the learned about him, luring them into some shady nook of the temple porticos, and asking them to define their terms.
浙江大学译本：但若多看几眼我们就会发现，透过石像的粗犷，一丝人性的善良和毫不伪装的朴素展露出来，使这位相貌平平的思想者成为当时雅典众多智慧青年所爱戴的老师。

解析

这句透过现象看本质，从外表的“丑”来看出苏格拉底内在的善良及朴素。
1、But if we look again we see,
but转折，前面的铺陈全是为了这个but。人不能仅看外貌，要看里子。
这里有look又有see，都表示“看”。两者是有区别的，两者的位置不能互换，look表示用眼睛看，see表示用心看。

2、through the crudity of the stone,
透过石像的整体感觉：粗陋。
crudity：the quality or state of being crude。
But these were faults rather than qualities. It was many years before he became aware of the latent genius of the popular tongue; the raciness of its images, its poetic crudity, its wealth of legendary wisdom. 但这些都是缺点而不是品质。多年以后，他才意识到流行语言的潜在天赋。其图像的活泼，诗意的粗犷，传奇般的智慧财富。《托尔斯泰传》

3、something of that human kindliness and unassuming simplicity
苏格拉底的品格：善良及朴素简朴。
kindliness：The quality or habit of being kindly.仁慈，善良

unassuming：not having or showing a desire to be noticed, praised, etc. : modest低调的，不招摇的
When he arrived at Apple headquarters, Sculley was startled by the unassuming offices and casual atmosphere.
斯卡利初到苹果公司总部时，那里平实的办公室和轻松的氛围让他大吃一惊。《乔布斯传》
simplicity：the state or quality of being plain or not fancy or complicated简单
In addition, he intuitively appreciated the simplicity of Atari's games.
除此之外，乔布斯还很欣赏雅达利开发的游戏的简单性。《乔布斯传》

4、which made this homely thinker a teacher beloved of the finest youths in Athens.
苏格拉底受雅典最优秀的年轻人欢迎
homely：not pretty or handsome : plain or unattractive相貌一般，丑，不漂亮
Mortified, Fawcett tried to take out the sting by crossing out homely and writing in plain.
窘迫之下，福克特试图划掉“相貌一般”，替换为“相貌平平”，以避免伤害。
