希腊罗马名人传

在这里，我将叙述马其顿王亚历山大的生平。这个人值得记述的伟大事迹，为数太多，我不能不先请求读者们原谅，我只能把他一生当中的最为人称道的事迹约略地加以叙述，而不能对每一项勋业都做详尽的记载。大家不要忘记，我现在所撰著的并非历史，而是传记。从那些最辉煌的事迹之中，我们并不一定能够极其清晰地看出人们的美德或恶德；有时候，一件不太重要的事情，一句笑话，或者片言短语，会比最著名的围城，最伟大的军备和最惨烈的战争更能使我们了解人们的性格和意向。因此，肖像画家在作画的时候，特别用心描绘最能表现性格的面部轮廓和眼神，而对于身体的其它部分则不必多加注意；同样地，请读者们也容许我对于人们的灵魂的迹象和征兆多加注意，借着这些来描写他的生平，而把他的伟大的事功和战迹留待其他作家们去叙述。

Parallel Lives

It being my purpose to write the lives of Alexander the king, and of Caesar, by whom Pompey was destroyed, the multitude of their great actions affords so large a field that I were to blame if I should not by way of apology forewarn my reader that I have chosen rather to epitomize the most celebrated parts of their story, than to insist at large on every particular circumstance of it. It must be borne in mind that my design is not to write histories, but lives. And the most glorious exploits do not always furnish us with the clearest discoveries of virtue or vice in men; sometimes a matter of less moment, an expression or a jest, informs us better of their characters and inclinations, than the most famous sieges, the greatest armaments, or the bloodiest battles whatsoever. Therefore as portrait-painters are more exact in the lines and features of the face in which the character is seen, than in the other parts of the body, so I must be allowed to give my more particular attention to the marks and indications of the souls of men, and while I endeavor by these to portray their lives, may be free to leave more weighty matters and great battles to be treated of by others.
