Boethius

基本解釋

The Consolation takes the form of a dialogue, between Boethius and Philosophy.
《哲學(xué)的慰藉》采用了一種對(duì)話的形式，即波伊提烏和哲學(xué)之間的對(duì)話。
Boethius’ thoughts and reflections are written in prose, whilst the wisdom of his interlocutor, Philosophy, appears in verse.
波伊提烏的思維和見(jiàn)解用散文的形式來(lái)表述，而他的對(duì)話者哲學(xué)的智慧則出現(xiàn)在詩(shī)節(jié)當(dāng)中。
Boethius, primarily motivated by Plato in his philosophical views, finds that, ‘The substance of God consisteth in nothing else but goodness’.
波伊提烏的哲學(xué)觀點(diǎn)主要是受柏拉圖的啟發(fā)，他發(fā)現(xiàn)“上帝的實(shí)質(zhì)僅存在于美德當(dāng)中”。

However, when a succession of his poems turn out to be adaptations or loose translations of Petronius, Sappho, Pliny the Elder and Boethius, you may find yourself hankering after an original voice—even one as extravagant as Whitman's.
