Though I got it after a few minutes of thinking, I wonder if the difficulty is caused by my poor understanding or the poor translation. Is it a good sentence in Chinese ? (I personally don't think so. What's your view, Kenny Woo ?) How would you reorganize this sentence ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny同志 Posted July 25, 2014 at 05:32 AM Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 at 05:32 AM Sorry for my belated reply. You were right. The sentence is terrible. Here's my rewrite: 在柏拉圖看來，道德的價值在於它能喚醒良知，把人邪惡的欲望壓制下去。 Without the original, however, it's hard to tell what the Chinese translation exactly means, therefore my rewrite may not be completely accurate.
