《巴曼尼得斯篇》为柏拉图对话录之一，也被视为最难理解的一篇。

Parmenides is one of the dialogues of Plato. It is widely considered to be one of the more, if not the most, challenging and enigmatic of Plato's dialogues.

这就意味着所有的克里岛人都是诚实的人，那么埃庇米尼得斯所言就是实话。

This means all Cretans are truthful, then Epimenides' statement is the truth.

埃庇米尼得斯在一首诗中写道：“克里岛的人，人人都说谎，邪恶的野兽，懒惰的胴网！”

Epimenides, in a poem wrote: "The Cretans, always liars, evil beasts, idle bellies!"

I actually thought it was hard to understand, just what was happening, the action part of the story. It might have been that I read it too quickly. Uh huh. Harder than "Menelaiad" to understand? No.

事实上，我认为它很难理解，就是到底发生了什么，即故事中的动作部分，也可能是我读得太快的缘故,所以不太理解罢，比《梅尼洛斯》更难懂吗，不是的。
