Researcher Michael McCosker thinks the text will be from the philosopher Philodemus, inspired by Epicurus.

研究人员迈克尔·麦科斯克认为，这些内容是伊壁鸠鲁派哲学家菲洛德穆记载的。

Especially today, in our individualistic societies, friendship (in the traditional sense) seems more challenging to obtain than in the times of Epicurus.

尤其是今天，在我们个人主义至上的社会中，友谊（在传统意义上）似乎比伊壁鸠鲁时代更难获得。

Again, the passage from Epicurus isn't altogether clear, but maybe he's got in mind something like this argument.

伊壁鸠鲁的这段话总的来看有点费解，但也他脑中已有了这样的观点。

Fear of the gods brought many people to the garden of Epicurus.

的惧人来到了伊壁鸠鲁的花园。

And also I'd just like to say there is someone who thinks pleasure is virtuous and that's Epicurus.

另外，我想提一下，有位名叫伊壁鸠鲁的人认为快乐本身就是一种美德。

But, as opposed to what Epicurus believed, friendships may not be so essential.

但是，与伊壁鸠鲁的观点相反，友谊可能并不那么重要。

The word hedonism comes from the ancient Greek hedone, meaning pleasure and some of the earliest recorded hedonists were Greek: Democritus, Aristippus, and most famously, the 4th century BCE philosopher Epicurus.

享乐主义这个词来自古希腊语享乐，意思是快乐，最早有记载的享乐主义者是一些希腊人：德谟克利特，阿里斯提波，以及最着名的公元前四世纪的哲学家伊比鸠鲁。

For example, someone working eighty hours a week hardly has time to relax, and there's only a little time left to spend with family and friends, the latter Epicurus believed to be one of the essential sources of wellbeing.

例如，每周工作80小时的人几乎没有时间放松，只有很少的时间与家人和朋友共度时光，而伊壁鸠鲁认为后者是幸福的重要来源之一。

Epicurus observed as well that the basic necessities for life are easy to come by, and that living moderately is the key to happiness.

伊壁鸠鲁也观察到，生活的基本必需品很容易获得，适度生活是幸福的关键。

Epicurus: Like Diogenes, Epicurus showed me that a happy life is achievable through just the necessities.

像第欧根尼一样，伊壁鸠鲁告诉我，幸福的生活可以通过生活必需品来实现。

But of course, if we do go back to the existence requirement, then we're back with Epicurus' argument.

但是 如果我们接受存在前提，我们就会回到伊壁鸠鲁的论断。

The ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus observed this more than 2,000 years ago.

古希腊哲学家伊比鸠鲁在两千年前观察到了这件事。

Maybe that's the argument that Epicurus had in mind.

也这就是伊壁鸠鲁脑中的观点。

Epicurus believed that small pleasures were more likely to bring us tranquility than earth-shattering pleasures and it's easy to see his point.

伊比鸠鲁认为，小小的快乐比惊天动地的快乐更能给我们带来平静，他的这一观点很容易理解。

On The Nature of Things which gives us the most complete account we possess of the philosophy and worldview of the Greek philosopher Epicurus.

论万事之本性，它给了出了我们所拥有希腊哲学家伊壁鸠鲁的哲学和的世界观 最完整的説明。

Epicurus himself chose a simple life, enjoying weak wine, bread, and cheese, and discussing philosophy with friends.

伊壁鸠鲁自己选择了简单的生活，享受淡酒、面包和奶酪，与朋友讨论哲学。

Although Epicurus was less of a thrill-seeker than his hedonism implies.

尽管伊比鸠鲁并不像他的享乐主义所意指的那样是一个寻求刺激的人。

If we extrapolate from Epicurus' views, we can see that the benefits of friendship still stand today.

如果我们从伊壁鸠鲁的观点推断，我们可以看到友谊的好处今天仍然存在。
