Symposium

Of all the works of Plato the Symposium is the most perfect in form, and may be truly thought to contain more than any commentator has ever dreamed of;

在柏拉图的所有作品中，《会饮篇》形式最为完美，可以真诚地认为它包含的内容比任何评论家所梦想的都要多；

Yet Plato was not a mystic, nor in any degree affected by the Eastern influences which afterwards overspread the Alexandrian world.

然而，柏拉图不是一个神秘主义者，也没有受到后来遍布亚历山大世界的东方影响。
