People sometimes tell me that they prefer barbarism to civilization. I doubt if they have given it a long enough trial. Like the people of Alexandria, they are bored by civilization; but all the evidence suggests that the boredom of barbarism is infinitely greater.
人们有时告诉我，比起文明，他们更喜欢野蛮。我怀疑他们是否进行了足够长的试验。就像亚历山大的人们一样，他们对文明感到厌倦;但所有的证据都表明，野蛮行为的无聊程度要大得多。
