| 不遊走於技術之邊緣，則無以創新。惟俗人憂其不現實。 | Only do we play around the edge of technologies can we make some innovation. But mediocrities worry about the unreality. |
| 不遊走於法律之邊緣，則無以革新。惟俗人憂其不道德。 | Only do we play around the edge of laws can we make some reformation. But mediocrities worry about the immorality. |
| 但遊走於邊緣之天才，與墜毀於谷底之蠢材，雖一線之隔，不可同日而語。 | However, we shall not confuse geniuses who play around the edge and fools who crash into the valley even if there is a fine line between them. |
| 我的價值觀呈現為一張三維地圖。地圖的最高峰即是最理想的價值目標。 | My values are presented as a three-dimensional model. The highest peak of the model is the most ideal value goal. |
| 然而，通往最高峰的路徑不見得是直線。遇到峭壁時，我知道必須繞道。遇到懸崖時，我知道不可硬闖。因此，我不見得每個時刻都面對目標，也不見得每個時刻都向上爬升。但是，整體而言，我距離目標愈來愈近。 | However, the path to the highest peak is not necessarily a straight line. I know that I have to detour when I see a cliff. I know that I cannot dash through it when I see a valley. Accordingly, neither do I always face the goal, nor do I always climb up. However, I am getting closer and closer to the goal overall. |
| 換句話說，一時背對目標，不需要大驚小怪。一時向下滑落，不需要哭天搶地。需要繞道卻不繞道，只會停滯。不可硬闖卻硬闖，只會損傷。 | In other words, I do not have to yell in fright when sometimes back on to the target. I do not have to cry in despair when sometimes slide down. Refusing a necessary detour will cause a standstill. A reckless dash will cause damage. |
| 這種思維在政治議題上尤其有益，也因其抽象性而難以體現。 | This kind of thinking is especially beneficial to political issues, but it is difficult for people to understand it because political issues are too abstract for them. |
| 對於未然與已然、或然與必然、應然與實然、其然與所然、及渾然與了然，各後設層乃收納各然，以免混淆。 | For expectation and completion, possibility and certainty, idea and practice, effect and cause, and ambiguity and clarity, respective metalayers are used to contain respective concepts, so as to avoid misconception. |
| 一後設命題包括至少一上後設層、一下後設層、及另一下後設層之三異化。 | A metaproposition includes alienation among at least three parties, a upper metalayer, a lower metalayer, and another lower metalayer. |
| 後設猜想旨在將一物分割為多具體物，致其於死，而將多物合併為一抽象物，賦予其生。 | The Metahypotheses aims to divide a matter into a plurality of specific matters, to give it death, and combine a plurality of matters into an abstract matter, to give birth to it. |
| 盧貝松導演的《聖女貞德》是我重複看過上百遍的喜愛電影。 | Director Luc Besson’s "The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc" is my favorite movie which I have watched almost hundred times. |
| 電影的前半段講述村姑貞德帶領法軍打勝仗，收復失土，使法國王儲得以在漢斯接受加冕的英勇事蹟。 | The first half of the movie told a heroic story of a country girl, Jeanne, who led French army to win the war, regain the lost territories, and bring the Dauphin to Reims for his coronation. |
| 在電影的後半段，劇情則急轉直下。貞德由於「執意繼續打仗」，終於失足遭到英軍俘虜。 | In the second half of the movie, a dramatic change occurred. Persisting in waging and participating in more wars, Jeanne finally failed and was captured by the British army. |
| 在宗教審判期間，貞德開始反省自己的「執意」帶來許多無意義的犧牲。她想要找神父告解，但每位神父皆拒絕聆聽。 | During the religious trial, Jeanne began to repent of her "persistence" which brought many meaningless sacrifices. She looked for a priest to listen to her confession, but every priest refused. |
| 最後，在處刑前夕，上帝以僧侶的姿態現身在她面前，說道： 「你想要告解？我正在聽。」 | Finally, before the execution, God appeared as a monk in front of her, saying: "you want to confess? I'm listening." |
| 貞德便懺悔道：「主，我犯了罪，許多罪。我看到許多異象。」 | Jeanne began to confess: "I've committed sins, my Lord. So many sins. I saw so many signs." |
| 「許多異象。」 | "Many signs." |
| 「都只是我想要看的。我打仗…是出於復仇…和絕望。我是人們…相信的一切，好讓他們…在打仗時…有藉口。」 | "The ones I wanted to see. I fought... out of revenge... and despair. I was all the things... that people believe... they're allowed to be... when they're fighting for... a cause." |
| 「有藉口。」 | "For a cause." |
| 「我…既驕傲…又固執。」 | "I was... proud... and... stubborn." |
| 「還有自私。」 | "Selfish." |
| 「自私。」 | "Selfish." |
| 「對，還有殘忍。」 | "Yes. Cruel." |
| 「對，殘忍。」 | "Yes. Cruel." |
| 「你覺得你準備好了嗎？」 | "You think you are ready now?" |
| 「好了。」 | "Yes." |
| 「很好。」 | "Good." |
| 上帝在親自聆聽完貞德的告解後，將手按在貞德的頭上，念誦道：「Ego te absolvo in nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.」 | After listening to Jeanne's confession, God put his hand on Jeanne’s head, reciting: "Ego te absolvo in nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti. Amen." |
| 下一幕，貞德在火刑柱上，肉體被熊熊烈火折磨，但心靈已被拯救。 | In the next scene, Jeanne was tied to the stake with her flesh tortured by raging fire, but her soul saved. |
| 如今，我也自省，我真的在追求大是大非，還是自我滿足？ | Now, I introspect for this question: am I pursuing "real justice" or "self-satisfaction"? |
| 純潔，是指客觀上且主觀上俱純潔。 | Purity means objective and subjective purity. |
| 無認識而已為不潔，或有認識而未為不潔，均屬不潔。 | A subject, either unconscious of but being impure, or conscious of but not being impure, is impure. |
| 己所欲言，而他所不欲聞者，言之無效。 | You cannot effect your target if you say what you want to say but he does not want to hear. |
| 他所欲聞，而己所不欲言者，言之無益。 | You cannot benefit your target if you say what he wants to hear but you do not want to say. |
| 必也以非己所不欲言，且非他所不欲聞者為所言，以鎖定其因果路徑。 | If you try to lock the causal route of his behavior, you should say what is acceptable both to you and him. |
