1.courtesy and serenity of temper I first learned to known from my grandfather Verus.
温和与心灵的安宁，我最初是从我的祖父维鲁斯那里学到的。
2.Manliness without ostentation I learnt from what I have heard and remember of my father.
不事张扬的刚毅，我是从对我父亲的听闻和记忆中习得的。
3.My mother set me an example of piety and generosity, avoidance of all uncharitableness--not in action only, but in thought as well--and a simplicity of life quite unlike the usual habits of the rich.
我的母亲为我树立了虔诚与慷慨的榜样，她避免一切刻薄不仁 —— 不仅在行动上，而且在思想中亦然 —— 并过着一种与富人通常习惯迥异的简朴生活。
4.To my great-grandfather I owed the advice to dispense with the education of the schools and have good masters at home instead and to realize that no expense should be grudged for this purpose.
我要感谢我曾祖父的忠告：摒弃了学校教育，在家延请了良师；并且明白，为此目的，任何花费都不应吝惜。
5.It was my tutor who dissuaded me from patronizing green or blue at the races,or light or heavy in the ring; and encouraged me not to be afraid of work, to be sparing in my wants, attend to my own needs, mind my own business, and never listen to gossip.
是我的老师劝诫我，不要在赛马场上偏袒绿队或蓝队，也不要在竞技场中偏爱手持轻盾或重盾的角斗士；并鼓励我不畏劳苦、节减欲求、亲自料理自身之事、不干预他人闲事、从不听信流言。
6.Thanks to diognetus, I learned not be absorbed in trivial pursuits; to be sceptical of wizards and wonder-workers with their tales of spells, exorcisms, and the like; to eschew cockfighting and other such distractions; not to resent outspokenness; to familiarize myself with philosophy, beginning with Bacchius and going on to Tandasis and Marcian; to write compositions in my early years; and to be ardent for the plank-and-skin pallet and other rigours of the Greek discipline.
得益于狄奥格涅图斯，我学会了不沉溺于琐碎的追求；对术士和巫师的咒语、驱魔之类传闻保持怀疑；避免斗鸡及其他此类消遣；不因他人的直言而感到不悦；熟习哲学，从巴奇乌斯开始，进而研习坦达西斯和马尔西安；早年即勤于写作；并崇尚睡硬板铺草褥的苦行及其他希腊式严苛训练。
