悲劇的誕生The Birth Of Tragedy 第112期:阻止悲劇復活的時間

Here we are detained by the question, whether the power, by virtue of whose opening influence tragedy perished, has for all time sufficient strength to prevent the artistic reawakening of tragedy and the tragic world view.

到此，我們要解答一個問題，那種勢力，悲劇因它的反抗而滅亡的，是否無論何時都有充分力量來阻止悲劇藝術和悲劇世界觀的復活呢？

If ancient tragedy was diverted from its course by the dialectical desire for knowledge and the optimism of science, this fact might lead us to believe that there is an eternal conflict between the theoretic and the tragic world view;

如果說古代悲劇是因辯證的求知慾和科學的樂觀主義之影響而離開了它的正軌，這件事實就會令我們斷定理論的世界觀與悲劇的世界觀之間有着永恆的鬥爭；

and only after the spirit of science has been pursued to its limits, and its claim to universal validity destroyed by the evidence of these limits may we hope for a rebirth of tragedy--a form of culture for which we should have to use the symbol of the music-practicing Socrates in the sense spoken of above.

唯有在科學精神已到了日暮途窮，它自命的普遍有效性被證明爲畢竟有限之後，我們才能指望悲劇之再生。

In this contrast, I understand by the spirit of science the faith that first came to light in the person of Socrates--the faith in the explicability of nature and in knowledge as a panacea.與此相反，我們所謂科學精神是指最先在蘇格拉底身上顯現的那種信仰——對自然界之可知和知識之萬能的信仰。
