Morality must relate, at some level, to the well-being of conscious creatures. If there are more and less effective ways for us to seek happiness and to avoid misery in this world - and there clearly are - then there are right and wrong answers to questions of morality.

道德必须在某种程度上与有意识的生物的幸福联系起来。如果我们在这个世界上有更多或更少有效的方法来寻求幸福和避免痛苦——显然有——那么道德问题就有正确和错误的答案。

The moral virtues, then, are produced in us neither by nature nor against nature. Nature, indeed, prepares in us the ground for their reception, but their complete formation is the product of habit.

因此,道德美德既不是自然产生的,也不是违反自然的。自然的确在我们心中为它们的接受做了准备,但它们的完全形成是习惯的产物。

I am bound to add that the excess in too little has ever proved in me more dangerous than the excess in too much; the last may cause indigestion, but the first causes death.

我必须补充一点,事实证明,在我身上,过分追求太少比过分追求太多更危险;后者可能导致消化不良,但前者会导致死亡。

If your stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cool thoughts.

如果你的胃不舒服,躺下来冷静地思考。
