主持人对话① "Do you think these started out with the intention to be these sort of philosophical statements? Or did they just sort of happen to strike the listener that way?"
HINTS
Aristotle, Platohttp://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201209/201209130249178212745.mp3"Well, Aristotle, Plato. The aphorism is not only the shortest literary art form, it is also the oldest literary art form -- written literary art form, I should say. And it started backfive thousand B.C. with the ancient Egyptians and the ancient Chinese. The very first written texts are a collection of aphorisms."
"No, I think they did start out that way. The very first Egyptian texts, for example, are collections of little sayings that a father has written to his son. You know, words of wisdom, words to live by, much as people are still doing today -- the way that every family has a classic saying or two that gets passed down from generation to generation. My father, for example, he was fond of saying 'Little said, easily mended.'"
