6、讲也好,由于我会遭到你这番话的鼓舞,并且相信这些话都讲真的。而如今,还是请你把剑收好,已经没有必要再用它了。你只能欺骗其别人,让人们以为你像雄狮一样英勇;而我却知道,在碰到危险时,你会像兔子一样落荒而逃。AGreektoRememberDiogeneswasafamousGreekphilosopherofthefourthcenturyB.C.,whoestablishedthephilosophyofcynicism.Heoftenwalkedaboutinthedaytimeholdingalightedlantern,peeringaroundasifhewerelookingfors

10、腊人提奥奇尼斯是公元前四世纪一位著名的希腊哲学家,就是他创立了犬儒派哲学。他经常在白天点着灯笼四处走动、张望,像是在找什么东西似的。哪人们问起他这乖僻行为时,他会回答讲:我正在寻找正人君子。提奥奇尼斯以为好人是自给自足的,不需要物质享受和财富。他以为财富、财产束缚了人们天生的自由状态。与他的哲学相一致,他拿一个从别人从自然之母的庙里丢弃的大坛作为本人的家,还对此万分满意。这个陶制的大坛叫做圣坛,过去在庙里是用来盛装祭祀用的酒和油的。一天,征服了半个文明世界的亚历山大大帝看见提奥奇尼斯坐在大坛里晒太阳。于是这位君主在大臣们的簇拥下走过去,对提奥奇尼斯讲:我是亚历山大大帝。哲学家相当傲慢地回答讲:我是提奥奇尼斯犬儒学者。然后亚历山大问他能否需要任何帮助。是的,提奥奇尼斯驳回道,别站在我和太阳之间。大吃一惊的亚历大继而迅速回答道:假设我不是亚历山大,我就会是提奥奇斯。英语短篇小故事欣赏
