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

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.

于便有了一个最浅显的理性的存在。法个浅显理性与各种存在物之间关系的总和，同时也体现着所有客观存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 " 智能存在物 " 产生之前，它们已有了存在的可能性；于它们便有了存在的关系，所以也有了可能存在的法律。在法律制定之前，已有了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?

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.

原因某特殊的 " 智能存在物 " 囿于其本性而导致错误；而且，从另一个方面来说，他们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 " 物质存在 " 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 " 智能存在物 " 的时候，便时常诋毁上帝创造的规律，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.

有限的存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，而被我们彻底地经验到。
