When we have meat before us and such eatables we receive the impression, that this is the dead body of a fish, and this is the dead body of a bird or of a pig; and again, that this Falernian is only a little grape juice, and this purple robe some sheep's wool dyed with the blood of a shell-fish: such then are these impressions, and they reach the things themselves and penetrate them, and so we see what kind of things they are.
当我们面前摆着肉类这样的食物,我们得到这样一些印象:这是一条鱼死去的身体,这是一只鸟和一头猪死去的身体,以及,这种饮料只是一点葡萄汁,这件紫红袍是一些以贝的血染红的羊毛,这些印象就是如此,它们达到了事物本身,贯穿其底蕴,所以我们看到了它们是什么。
And again that this Falernian is merely the juice of a grape-cluster
这美仑美奂的白葡萄酒是什么?不过是一束葡萄的浆汁。。。
The rich of Rome were eager wine collectors and valued particular vintages and regions such as the wine that came from Falernian.
罗马的富人是热情的酒收藏家。他们重视特定时期,特定地域的酒,比如说Falernian。
Nothing like a good falernian grape, is there?
没什么酒能和费乐纳斯酒媲美是不是?

当食物摆在面前的时候,我们总要想,这是一条鱼的尸体,这是一只鸟和一头猪的尸体,这种饮料只是一点葡萄汁,这件紫红色袍是一些贝类的血染红的羊毛,这些印象就是如此,它们达到了食物本身,贯穿其底蕴,看到了事物的真面目。
Though not a drop of the noble Falernian, with which it had been filled, remained, it still yielded a grateful fragrance to the passersby.
尽管这酒坛里已经没有一滴美酒,却还是散发着浓浓的酒香,诱惑着过往的行人。
