The Republic

The Republic of Plato is the longest of his works with the exception of the Laws, and is certainly the greatest of them.

柏拉图的《共和国》是他除了《法律篇》之外最长的作品，而且无疑是其中最伟大的。

Nowhere in Plato is there a deeper irony or a greater wealth of humor or imagery, or more dramatic power.

在柏拉图的作品中，没有哪里比《共和国》更深刻地运用了讽刺，更丰富了幽默和意象，或者更具有戏剧力量。
