The Story of Philosophy《哲学的故事》第1章Plato第5节V. The Political Problem第1段第1句：
Justice would be simple matter, says Plato, if men were simple; an anarchist communism would suffice. For a moment he gives his imagination reign:
First, then, let us consider what will be their way of life…. Will they not produce corn, and wine, and clothes, and shoes, and build houses for themselves? And when they are housed they will work in summer commonly stripped and barefoot, but in winter substantially clothed and shod. They will feed on barley and wheat, baking the wheat and kneading the flour, making noble puddings and loaves; these they will serve up on a mat of reed or clean leaves, themselves reclining the while upon beds of yew or myrtle boughs. And they and their children will feast, drinking of the wine which they have made, wearing garlands on their heads, and having praises of the gods on their lips, living in sweet society, and having a care that their families do not exceed their means; for they will have an eye to poverty or war…. Of course they will have a relish — salt, and olives, and cheese, and onions, and cabbages or other country herbs which are fit for boiling; and we shall give them a dessert of figs, and pulse, and beans, and myrtleberries, and beechnuts which they will roast at the fire, drinking in moderation. And with such a diet they may be expected to live in peace to a good old age, and bequeath a similar life to their children after them (273).
浙江大学译本：柏拉图说，若人心简单，那么正义也将是一件简单的事。这样的话，社会有一个无政府主义者的共产主义就足够令人满足了。
解析
1、Justice would be simple matter, says Plato, if men were simple;
柏拉图说，若人性单纯，那么正义将是件简单的事；
2、an anarchist communism would suffice.
一种无政府共产主义就足够了。
anarchist communism（无政府共产主义）：是种政治哲学和社会理论思潮，以反对权威与倡导共产主义为核心原则，倡导自组织与互助和直接行动，但难完全实现并形成广泛、稳定的社会形态。
suffice: to be or provide as much as is needed; to be sufficient足够；充足
Those well-worn words are a small offering, perhaps, but they will suffice.这些老生常谈的话也许只是一个小小的提议，但它们就足够了。
柏拉图说，若人性单纯，那么正义将是件简单的事；这样的话，一种无政府共产主义就足够了。
这句话指出社会构想基于人心复杂与否。若简单，正义将是简单的事，社会上只需要无政府共产主义。这便是整段的主旨，后面便是柏拉图的想象。
