To part with self-conceit. For it is impossible for any one to begin to learn what he thinks that he already knows.--Epictetus
那就是和自负告别，因为当一个人很难开始学自己认为自己已经知道的东西
Long has studied some of Epictetus'debts to Socrates elsewhere; here, he treats the connections in their methodologies. Assembling extensive texts and arguments, Long convinces this reader, at least, that Socrates'elenchus was the standard for philosophical practice that Epictetus strove to emulate in his own teaching and research. When doing so, however, Epictetus adapted it to meet the demands of his system.
朗格在其地方已经研究了埃皮科拉图对苏格拉底的借鉴，在这篇文章中，他探讨了两者在方法论上的联系，通过大量的文本和论证，他至少向读者证明了，埃皮科拉图把苏格拉底式的诡辩看成哲学实践活动的标准，并在自己的教学和研究中竭力仿效，在这么做的时候，他改造苏格拉底的诡辩，使之符合自己哲学体系的要求。
Epictetus If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?

We can stay by the side of Socrates at his execution and listen to him talking to his friend, or harbor doubt as we ponder the truth of Discourse by Epictetus, a Stoic Philosopher.
我们可以在苏格拉底临刑前守在他身边，听他和一伙朋友谈话；也可以对斯多葛派伊匹克悌忒斯的《金玉良言》思考怀疑。
From Rusticus I received the impression that my character required improvement and discipline; and from him I learned not to be led astray to sophistic emulation, nor to writing on speculative matters, nor to delivering little hortatory orations, nor to showing myself off as a man who practises much discipline, or does benevolent acts in order to make a display; and to abstain from rhetoric, and poetry, and fine writing; and not to walk about in the house in my outdoor dress, nor to do other things of the kind; and to write my letters with simplicity, like the letter which Rusticus wrote from Sinuessa to my mother; and with respect to those who have offended me by words, or done me wrong, to be easily disposed to be pacified and reconciled, as soon as they have shown a readiness to be reconciled; and to read carefully, and not to be satisfied with a superficial understanding of a book; nor hastily to give my assent to those who talk overmuch; and I am indebted to him for being acquainted with the discourses of Epictetus, which he communicated to me out of his own collection.
我从拉斯蒂克斯那里领悟了许多，这使我的性格得以完善和规范；他让我懂得如何不致陷入诡辩论战的歧途，如何不写那些投机取巧的文章，如何不发表急功近利的演说，如何像深藏不露者那样既不显山露水，又能循循善诱、从善如流；他教我力戒文过饰非、靡丽铺张和词藻华美；他教我别装模作样、咆哮于庭，亦不作诸如此类的其它做派；他教我用词简洁，就像拉斯蒂克斯从辛努厄萨写给母亲的书信那样行文；他教我宽以待人，无论他人恶语相加还是错上加错，只要他们有和解之意，必当冰释前嫌、和好如初；他教我用功读书，不满足于一知半解；他教我不要随便附和夸夸其谈的人；我感激他让我熟读爱比克泰德的演讲论文，使我在他的文集之外与他沟通交流。
But Epictetus gave up too many things, and I had been quick to observe that nothing was more dangerously easy for me than mere renunciation.
