For my part, when I enter most intimately into what I call myself, I always stumble on some particular perception or other, of heat or cold, light or shade, pain or pleasure. I never can catch myself at any time without a perception, and never can observe anything but the perception.

就我而言，当我最亲密地进入我所谓的自我时，我总是偶然发现某种特定的知觉，或热或冷，或明或暗，或苦或乐。在任何时候，我都无法在没有知觉的情况下抓住自己，除了知觉，我什么也观察不到。
