The Story of Philosophy的第93句：第1章Plato第2节II. Socrates第1段第1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：假如我们以作为历史文物流传下来的半身像为依据，那苏格拉底即便是在哲学家中也算是长得丑的：
解析
这段开始讲柏拉图的老师苏格拉底，“希腊三哲”之首。他经常与中国的孔子相比，都提倡述而不作，其思想都是经由其弟子整理而成。苏格拉底的思想的流传离不开柏拉图的《理想国》。
1、If we may judge from the bust
判断依据：半身像。
毕竟苏格拉底距今已经有2千4百年左右了，认识他的途径也了了无几了。方式不一样，得出的内容也不同。这句主要告诉我们作者是从其半身像进行的推断。
bust: a sculpture of a person's head and neck and usually a part of the shoulders and chest 半身像。bust除了“半身像”意思外，还有“打破”，“萧条”等。
What is it? You're kidding, right? It's a bust of Sir Isaac Newton.那是什么, 你是在开玩笑吗, 这是牛顿爵士的半身像。《生活大爆炸》
2、that has come down to us as part of the ruins of ancient sculpture,
半身像的来源：古代雕塑废墟
历史是残酷的，留下的东西是残片，还是不全的。
ruins：The ruins of something are the parts of it that remain after it has been severely damaged or weakened.残片，遗迹
He stood very still, staring in at the ruins of his work.他站在那里一动也不动，呆呆地看着他残余的作品。
3、Socrates was as far from being handsome as even a philosopher can be.
推断结论：按哲学家类别中帅的标准，苏格拉底也是不好看。
这里有两个推论：哲学家普遍不帅，而哲学家中的苏格拉底更是垫底了。
如果从流传下来的古代雕塑废墟的半身像推断，我们可以看出苏格拉底的外表与英俊相去甚远，即使按哲学家的英俊标准。
