那天我读了撤里比的一篇论文，撒里比所能说出的最好的话不过是：赫伯特·斯宾塞几乎回答了贝克莱的问题。
I was reading an essay of Saleeby's the other day, and the best Saleeby could say was that Herbert Spencer NEARLY succeeded in answering Berkeley.
十年之后，赫伯特·斯宾塞将达尔文的自然选择概括为“适者生存”——达尔文只是后来采用了这个口号。
Herbert Spencer, in the decade after Darwin, summarised natural selection as "survival of the fittest" - a slogan -darwin only later adopted.
“你知道贝克莱提出的问题谁也没有回答出来，”他直面着马丁，说，“赫伯特·斯宾塞的回答最接近于解决，但距离仍不算近。”
"You know Berkeley has never been answered," he said, looking directly at Martin. "Herbert Spencer came the nearest, which was not very near."
