The father of Western philosophy
西方哲學之父
The word 'philosophy' means 'love of wisdom'.
詞匯“哲學”的意思是“愛智慧”。
Philosophy can be thought of as a way of looking at the world around us, or of answering the great queations of life, such as 'Why are we here?' and 'What is truth?'
哲學可被認為是觀察我們周圍世界的一種方式，或是解答人生重大問題的一種方式，如“我們為什么會在這里？”以及“什么是真理？”
The father of Western philosophy was Socrates(469-399 BC).
這位西方哲學之父就是蘇格拉底（公元前469-399）。
Socrates was from Athens, in Greece. When he was young, he was a brave soldier.
蘇格拉底來自希臘雅典，他年輕的時候是個勇敢的士兵。
Later, he became a teacher, but he taught for free and earned his salary from being a common worker.
后來，他成為一名老師，但是他是免費教課，而工資是來自做普通工人的收入。
Aside from this, we know very little about him.
除了這點，我們對他知之甚少。
Since he never wrote a book, we also know very little about his philosophy.
由于他從來沒寫過書，我們對他的哲學也了解甚少。
Yet, Socrates has had a deep influence on Western thought and science.
然而，蘇格拉底對西方的思想和科學確有很深刻的影響。
