上句见:Day98
The Story of Philosophy的第99句:第1章Plato第2节II. Socrates第2段第2句:

They were a motley crowd, these youths who flocked about him and helped him to create European philosophy. There were rich young men like Plato and Alcibiades, who relished his satirical analysis of Athenian democracy; there were socialists like Antisthenes, who liked the master’s careless poverty, and made a religion of it; there was even an anarchist or two among them, like Aristippus, who aspired to a world in which there would be neither master nor slaves, and all would be as worrilessly free as Socrates. All the problems that agitate human society to-day, and provide the material of youth’s endless debate, agitated as well that little band of thinkers and talkers, who felt, with their teacher, that life without discourse would be unworthy of a man. Every school of social thought had there its representative, and perhaps its origin.
浙江大学译本:他们当中有人富有,譬如柏拉图和亚西比德①,津津乐道苏格拉底对雅典式民主的嘲讽:也有像安提西尼②一样的社会主义者,崇尚他安贫乐道的精神并将之发扬光大;甚至有一两个像亚里士蒂帕斯③那样的无政府主义者,向往一个不分贵贱、没有主奴之分、人人好似苏格拉底般悠游自在的世界。

解析

这句话具体描述苏格拉底的学生成分多样性:有钱有闲的人,社会主义者,无政府主义者。
1、There were rich young men like Plato and Alcibiades, who relished his satirical analysis of Athenian democracy;
有钱有闲的人:比如柏拉图以及阿尔西比亚德斯。这类人就很享受苏格拉底对雅典民主制的嘲讽。
Alcibiades阿尔西比亚德斯:是古希腊雅典城邦的著名政治家、军事指挥官和辩论家。他以其奢侈的生活方式、英俊的外表和机智的辩论能力而闻名。在追求个人利益不择手段,也作为苏格拉底腐化年轻人的证据。
relish: to enjoy or take pleasure in (something)玩味,享受
She said that tall people relish their height. 她说高个子的人享受他们的身高。
satirical:A satirical drawing, piece of writing, or comedy show is one in which humour or exaggeration is used to criticize something.(画作、文章、喜剧)讽刺的,讥讽的。
Lennon would later appear in a satirical film called " How I Won The War." 后来,列侬还出演了讽刺电影《我如何赢得战争》。

2、there were socialists like Antisthenes, who liked the master’s careless poverty, and made a religion of it;
社会主义者:如Antisthenes。这类人喜欢苏格拉底的安贫,并将这种态度提升到了一种信仰。
安提斯泰尼Antisthenes:犬儒学派的开山鼻祖之一,提倡简朴生活和道德。
careless:done, made, or said without enough thought or attention不在乎的;不在意的
The brave soldiers did their duty, careless of dangers and discomforts.勇敢的士兵尽忠职守,对危险和困苦毫不在乎。
make a religion of:to be scrupulously careful of doing, habitually make a point of.其常见的释义为“把……当作宗教信仰;对……极其重视;把……奉为神圣不可侵犯的准则”
She makes a religion of keeping healthy. 她把保持健康当成一种信仰。

3、there was even an anarchist or two among them, like Aristippus, who aspired to a world in which there would be neither master nor slaves, and all would be as worrilessly free as Socrates.
无政府主义者:这类人介于前面两种人,强调世界没有主奴之分,人人都像苏格拉底一般自在。
anarchist:a person who believes that government and laws are not necessary无政府主义者
Even then society was dividing between banker and anarchist. 社会也在银行家和无政府主义者之间分裂。
Aristippus阿里斯提普斯:创立了昔勒尼学派,主张享乐主义。
aspire:to want to have or achieve something (such as a particular career or level of success)渴望。“aspire”后面经常接to+n.或者to do形式。
Climbers definitely aspire to be good stewards to the environment.登山者绝对渴望成为环境的好管家。
worrilessly:Free from worry.无麻烦的
The professor, leading a comparatively congenial and worriless life, is a deeper sleeper [than the teacher].

在苏格拉底的追随者中,有像柏拉图和阿尔西比亚德斯这样富有的年轻人,他们欣赏苏格拉底对雅典民主的讽刺分析;也有像安提斯泰尼这样的社会主义者,他们喜欢苏格拉底那种不在乎物质财富的态度,并将其视为一种信仰;甚至还有介于前两者之间的一两个无政府主义者,像阿里斯提普斯这样,渴望一个既没有主奴之分、所有人都能像苏格拉底那样无忧无虑自由的世界。
