4.If the objects which are productive of pleasures to profligate persons really freed them from fears of the mind, -- the fears, I mean, inspired by celestial and atmospheric phenomena, the fear of death, the fear of pain; if, further, they taught them to limit their desires, we should never have any fault to find with such persons, for they would then be filled with pleasures to overflowing on all sides and would be exempt from all pain, whether of body or mind, that is, from all evil.
对那些浪荡者来说，如果他们精神上的恐惧，即由神迹和气候引起的恐惧、对死亡的恐惧和对痛苦的恐惧，真的能够由产生快乐的东西消除，而且，如果这些东西真的能让他们节制自己的欲望，那么，我们没有任何理由对这些人吹毛求疵，因为这样的话他们就可以让快乐占据自己的整个身心，排斥任何痛苦，无论是身体的还是精神的，这样也就摒弃了任何罪恶。
