It is necessary to say and to think that What Is is; for it is to be,/ （有必要说并思考存在的本质是什么；因为它是存在的，）but nothing it is not. These things I bid you ponder./（而不是任何它所不是的。我劝你思索这些事物。）For I shall begin for you from this first way of inquiry,/（因为我将从这第一种探询的方式开始为你阐述，）then yet again from that along which mortals who know nothing/ （然后再从那条路开始，沿着这条路，对于什么也不知道的凡人们，）wander two-headed: for haplessness in their/（他们像是有两个脑袋一样常常左右摇摆：迷茫困惑）breasts directs wandering understanding. They are borne along/ （胸怀苦闷，茕茕独立） /deaf and blind at once, bedazzled, undiscriminating hordes,/（不闻不问，眼花缭乱，不分青红皂白的成群结队，） who have supposed that it is and is not the same/ （他们认为存在和不存在是一样的） and not the same; but the path of all these turns back on itself. （或不一样的；但所有这些的道路都在循环往复，回归自身。） ——(Fr. 6, supplementing the lacuna at the end of verse 3 with arxô and taking s’ earlier in the verse as an elision of soi, as per Nehamas 1981, 103–5; cf. the similar proposal at Cordero 1984, ch. 3, expanding parts of Cordero 1979.)
