1.

Yetthedifferenceintomeandlanguagemuststrikeus,sosoonasitisphilosophythatspeaks:thatchangeshouldremindusthatevenifthefunctionofreligionandthatofreasoncoincide,thisfunctionisperformedinthetwocasesbyverydifferentorgans.

[參考譯文]

可是音調(diào)和語言的差異必定很快的給我們深刻的印象，就象哲學(xué)所說的那樣：那種差異應(yīng)提鄉(xiāng)我們，即使宗教的功能和理性的功能恰好相符的話，其功能也是通過不同的器官在兩種不同的狀況下完成的。

2.

Reason,ontheotherhand,isamereprincipleorpotentialorder,onwhichindeedwemaycometoreflectbutwhichexistsinusideallyonly,withoutvariationorstressofanykind.

[參考譯文]

另一方面，理性學(xué)問一種原則或者是潛在的秩序，我們的確可以在此基礎(chǔ)上存在于我們心中，沒有種種變化，或任何壓力。

[參考譯文]

宗教在其意義上，比社會，科學(xué)，藝術(shù)更自覺，更直接的追求“理性生活”，由于這些東西（社會，科學(xué)，藝術(shù)）臨時而又零星的接近和填補抱負(fù)的生活，無視目的，也不管其本能的目標(biāo)是否最終證明正確。

5.

各個都，全部
