The world does not speak. Only we do. The world can, once we have programmed ourselves with a language, cause us to hold beliefs. But it cannot propose a language for us to speak. Only other human beings can do that.

  • -- Richard Rorty 理查德·罗蒂

世界不说话。只有我们做的。一旦我们用一种语言给自己编程,这个世界就能让我们持有信念。但它不能为我们提供一种语言。只有其他人类才能做到这一点。
