Astronomers think it's a failed dwarf galaxy that lacked the requisite mass to produce stars.

天文学为它是缺乏必要在物而不能产生新星的已经衰败的矮星星系。

Particular intelligent beings may have laws of their own making, but they have some likewise which they never made.

特殊的 " 智能在物 " 能够拥有自己制定的法律，然而也有一些并非是他创造的，却被他所拥有。

There is, then, a prime reason; and laws are the relations subsisting between it and different beings, and the relations of these to one another.

于是便有一个最浅显的理性的在。法就是这个浅显理性与各种在物之间关系的总和，同时也体现着所有客观在物彼此之间的关系。

Before there were intelligent beings, they were possible; they had therefore possible relations, and consequently possible laws. Before laws were made, there were relations of possible justice.

在 " 智能在物 " 产生之前，它已有在的可能性；于是它便有在的关系，所以也就有可能在的法律。在法律制定之前，已有产生公共关系的可能性。

In affirming that God is not a being, l've certainly held off idolatry, but have l left us thereby in an intellectual lurch doomed simply to remain silent about God?

在确天主不是一个在物时，我当然会克服偶像崇拜，但这样是否会把大引入一种必然的思维困境、使我仅能对天主保持沉默呢？

This is because, on the one hand, particular intelligent beings are of a finite nature, and consequently liable to error; and on the other, their nature requires them to be free agents.

原因是某些特殊的 " 智能在物 " 囿于其本性而导致错误；而且，从另一个方面来说，他按自己的本性我行我素。

Man, as a physical being, is like other bodies governed by invariable laws. As an intelligent being, he incessantly transgresses the laws established by God, and changes those of his own instituting.

人，从 " 物质在 " 的意义上而言，与其他物体别无二致，人受到永恒规律的支配。当人作为 " 智能在物 " 的时候，便时常诋毁上帝创造的规律，并且更改自己制定的法律。

Ratzinger begins with the observation that finite being as we experience it is marked through and through by intelligibility, by a formal structure that makes it capable of being known by an inquiring mind.

有限的在物可以通过理解力、通过一种能为求索者所掌握的形式结构，而被我彻底地经验到。
