The Story of Philosophy的第104句：第1章Plato第2节II. Socrates第3段第3句：

How the master lived hardly anybody knew. He never worked, and he took no thought the morrow. He ate when his disciples asked him to honor their tables; they must have liked his company, for he gave every indication of physiological prosperity. He was not so welcome at home, for he neglected his wife and children; and from Xanthippe’s point of view he was a good-for-nothing idler who brought to his family more notoriety than bread. Xanthippe liked to talk almost as much as Socrates did; and they seem to have had some dialogues which Plato failed to record. Yet she, too, loved him, and could not contentedly see him die even after three-score years and ten.
浙江大学译本：有学生邀请他吃饭时他就去。他们也喜欢餐桌上有这样一位客人因为他会详尽地讲述养生之道。

解析

这句话感觉有点调侃苏格拉底的意味，有人请就吃，暗指没人请就将就。不过他是个受欢迎的人，师生关系相当密切。
1、He ate when his disciples asked him to honor their tables;
有人请吃饭。饭局的规格高不高，可以依照以下顺序看：好菜<好环境<名人<三者齐备。显然，苏格拉底作为学生提升自己饭局的关键。
honor：to show admiration for (someone or something) in a public way 钦佩
When we got married, we promised to love and honor each other.

2、 they must have liked his company, for he gave every indication of physiological prosperity.
学徒喜欢他的作伴，他的到临代表他身体健壮。
physiological：Pertaining to the material universe or to natural science; physical生理的。前缀“physio-”，意思是“自然，生理”。
后缀“-logical”，表示“与......有关，......学的”。
Hibernation is fairly well-studied physiological state.冬眠是研究得相当充分的生理状态。

当他的弟子们请他到他们的餐桌用餐时，他才吃饭，而他们以此为荣；他们一定很喜欢他作陪，因为他的身体状态看起来非常好。
