1. 由于萦心围绕特里奥库鲁斯事件的一系列问题，卡丹并不在那里。在勉强逃出绝地之城后卡丹回到了斯卡迪亚太空站——在那里他发现欢迎他的只有他的预言者同僚的尸体。
Kadann was not there, preoccupied with the events surrounding the Trioculus affair, after which he barely managed to escape the City of the Jedi and make his way back to Space Station Scardia—where he discovered a welcoming committee of the dead bodies of his fellow Prophets.
2. 同样地，哲学家也不该萦心于恋爱的快乐，或华贵的衣鞋，或其他的个人装饰。
In like manner, the philosopher must not care for the pleasures of love, or for costly raiment, or sandals, or other adornments of the person.
