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 当肉食摆在我们面前，令人馋涎欲滴时，一个念头出现在我们头脑中：这是一条鱼的尸体，或一只鸟的尸体，或一头猪的尸体，而且，这杯法勒恩酒不过是少许葡萄汁，这件紫袍不过是用贝类的血浸染过的羊毛：这些念头在那里，它们自己达于事物，渗透事物，如此我们才看清事物的本质。
