……指引。第欧根尼不仅没有因为他的请求感到受宠若惊,反而让亚历山大大帝走开点,别挡着他的阳光。不幸的是,除了《名哲言行录》(Lives of Eminent Philosophers)之外,关于他的绝大多数一手史料都遗失了。他的故事既轻松诙谐,又提供了非常新颖的视角。
…guidance. Instead of being impressed and delighted by his request, Diogenes asked Alexander the Great to move to stop blocking his sunlight. Unfortunately, most of his primary sources have been lost besides "Lives of Eminent Philosophers." His stories offer great levity and fresh perspective.

……但每当他看到解梦人、占卜师以及听从他们的人,或是那些自恃富有而傲慢自大的人时,他又觉得没有什么动物比人更愚蠢了。”出自第欧根尼·拉尔修的《名哲言行录》(Lives of Eminent Philosophers)中的第欧根尼生平*,http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%...
…but when again he saw interpreters of dreams and diviners and those who attended to them, or those who were puffed up with conceit of wealth, he thought no animal more silly." The life of Diogenes in Lives of Eminent Philosophers by Diogenes Laertius*, http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%...
“柏拉图把人定义为无毛双足动物,博得满堂喝彩。第欧根尼拔光了一只鸡的毛,拎进讲堂说道:‘这就是柏拉图说的人。’”(第欧根尼·拉尔修,《名哲言行录》/ Lives of Eminent Philosophers)
"Plato had defined Man as an animal, biped and featherless, and was applauded. Diogenes plucked a fowl and brought it into the lecture room with the words, "Here is Plato's man."" (Diogenes Laertius, Lives of Eminent Philosophers)
It's a reference to Ecclesiastes (5:10) and Diogenes (Lives of Eminent Philosophers, VI.2 stanza 50), both probably well known by Timothy and the jews he was evangelising among. I'm not sure whether Diogenes used the word philargyria and can't be bothered to try and dig it up, but I…

这是在引用《传道书》(5:10)和第欧根尼(《名哲言行录》VI.2 第50节),提摩太以及他向其传教的犹太人大概都很熟悉这两处。我不确定第欧根尼是否用过philargyria这个词,也懒得去深究考证了,但我……
