难道没有理由怀疑,所有哲学家,就其作为独断论者而言,都未能理解女性——他们通常以可怕的严肃态度和笨拙的纠缠方式向真理求爱,这些都是赢得女性芳心的拙劣而不雅的手段?

Is there not ground for suspecting that all philosophers, in so far as they have been dogmatists, have failed to understand women--that the terrible seriousness and clumsy importunity with which they have usually paid their addresses to Truth, have been unskilled and unseemly methods for winning a woman?

当然,她从未允许自己被征服;而如今,每一种独断论都以悲哀而沮丧的神情伫立——如果它还能站立的话!

Certainly she has never allowed herself to be won; and at present every kind of dogma stands with sad and discouraged mien--IF, indeed, it stands at all!

因为有些嘲弄者坚称它已经倒下,所有的独断论都躺倒在地——不仅如此,它已奄奄一息。

For there are scoffers who maintain that it has fallen, that all dogma lies on the ground--nay more, that it is at its last gasp.

但说正经的,我们有充分的理由希望:哲学中一切独断论的做法,无论它摆出多么庄严、多么决断的姿态,也许不过是一种高尚的幼稚与初学者的笨拙;

But to speak seriously, there are good grounds for hoping that all dogmatizing in philosophy, whatever solemn, whatever conclusive and decided airs it has assumed, may have been only a noble puerilism and tyronism;

也许时机即将到来,人们将再次理解:那些独断论者迄今所构建的宏伟而绝对的哲学大厦,其基础究竟依靠的是什么——

and probably the time is at hand when it will be once and again understood WHAT has actually sufficed for the basis of such imposing and absolute philosophical edifices as the dogmatists have hitherto reared:

也许是某种远古流传的民间迷信(例如灵魂迷信,以主体迷信和自我迷信的形式,至今仍未停止为害);

perhaps some popular superstition of immemorial time (such as the soul-superstition, which, in the form of subject- and ego-superstition, has not yet ceased doing mischief):

也许是某种文字游戏、语法上的欺骗,或者是对极为有限、极为个人、极为人性——过于人性的事实所做的大胆过度概括。

perhaps some play upon words, a deception on the part of grammar, or an audacious generalization of very restricted, very personal, very human--all-too-human facts.
