Euthydemus

The Euthydemus, though apt to be regarded by us only as an elaborate jest, has also a very serious purpose.

尽管我们通常只将《欧绪德谟篇》视为一个精心设计的笑话，但它也有一个非常严肃的目的。

It may fairly claim to be the oldest treatise on logic; for that science originates in the misunderstandings which necessarily accompany the first efforts of speculation.

它完全可以声称是关于逻辑的最古老的论文；因为这门科学起源于伴随着最初思考努力所必然产生的误解。
