[參考譯文]
可是音調(diào)和語(yǔ)言的差異必定很快的給我們深刻的印象,就象哲學(xué)所說(shuō)的那樣:那種差異應(yīng)提鄉(xiāng)我們,即使宗教的功能和理性的功能恰好相符的話(huà),其功能也是通過(guò)不同的器官在兩種不同的狀況下完成的。
2.
Reason,ontheotherhand,isamereprincipleorpotentialorder,onwhichindeedwemaycometoreflectbutwhichexistsinusideallyonly,withoutvariationorstressofanykind.
[參考譯文]
另一方面,理性學(xué)問(wèn)一種原則或者是潛在的秩序,我們的確可以在此基礎(chǔ)上存在于我們心中,沒(méi)有種種變化,或任何壓力。

[參考譯文]
不論我們是否遵循理性,它不會(huì)極力或責(zé)怪我們,除了以事物的原來(lái)面目和比例揭示各種事物而自然而然的激起我們的感情,它并不需要我們付出任何感情。

[參考譯文]
宗教在其意義上,比社會(huì),科學(xué),藝術(shù)更自覺(jué),更直接的追求“理性生活”,由于這些東西(社會(huì),科學(xué),藝術(shù))臨時(shí)而又零星的接近和填補(bǔ)抱負(fù)的生活,無(wú)視目的,也不管其本能的目標(biāo)是否最終證明正確。
