[參考譯文]
可是音調(diào)和語言的差異必定很快的給我們深刻的印象,就象哲學(xué)所說的那樣: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,其功能也是通過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,沒有種種變化,或任何壓力。
3.
Weconformordonotconformtoit;itdoesnoturgeorchideus,notcallforanyemotionsonourpartotherthanthosenaturallyarousedbythevariousobjectswhichitunfoldsintheirtruenatureandproportion.
[參考譯文]
不論我們是否遵循理性,它不會極力或責(zé)怪我們,除了以事物的原來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。

Religion,initsintent,isamoreconsciousanddirectpursuitoftheLifeofReasonthanissociety,science,orart,fortheseapproachandfillouttheideallifetentativelyandpiecemeal,hardlyregardingthefoalorcaringfortheultimatejustificationoftheinstinctiveaims.
[參考譯文]
宗教在其意義上,比社會,科學(xué),藝術(shù)更自覺,更直接的追求“理性生活”,由于這些東西(社會,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,無視目的,也不管其本能的目標(biāo)是否最終證明正確。
