La mouche courant sur le miroir ne s'inquiète pas de cette mouche inverse sur les pointes des pattes de laquelle elle se pose et court ; mais elle voit au contraire sur le plan poli quantité de très petites choses qui l'intéressent et que nous confondons sous le nom de poussière et de saleté.

➜ #6840759The fly running on the mirror doesn't worry about its reflection on the points of its legs from which it sits and runs; but on the contrary, it sees on the smooth surface a quantity of very small things which interest it and which we confuse with dust and grime.

➜ #13065990喺鏡上面跑嘅飛唔會擔心呢隻對面嘅飛喺邊隻腳尖上面落地同跑； 但相反，佢喺禮貌嘅層面上睇到一啲佢感興趣嘅好細嘅嘢，而我哋就以塵埃同污垢嘅名義混淆咗呢啲嘢。
