Siddhartha knew many venerable Brahmans, chiefly his father, the pure one, the scholar, the most venerable one.

悉达多认识许多受人尊敬的婆罗门，主要是他的父亲，一位纯洁的、博学的、最受人尊敬的人。

I study it as I would the form of an Indian weapon, the symbolic construction of which is known only to the Brahmans.

我研究它就像研究印度武器的形式， 其象征性结构只有婆罗门才知道。

No, and he, Govinda, as well did not want to become one of those, not one of those tens of thousands of Brahmans.

不，他，戈文达，也不想成为其中之一，而不是那数万婆罗门中的一员。

No, not to be looked down upon was the tremendous amount of enlightenment which lay here collected and preserved by innumerable generations of wise Brahmans.

不，不容小觑的是无数世代智慧婆罗门所收集和保存的大量觉悟。

I have asked the Brahmans, year after year, and I have asked the holy Vedas, year after year, and I have asked the devote Samanas, year after year.

我年复一年地问婆罗门，我年复一年地问神圣的吠陀经，我年复一年地问奉献者沙门。

Did he not, again and again, have to drink from holy sources, as a thirsty man, from the offerings, from the books, from the disputes of the Brahmans?

难道他不是一次又一次地像一个口渴的人一样，不得不从供养、书籍、婆罗门的争论中汲取神圣的源泉吗？

Love touched the hearts of the Brahmans' young daughters when Siddhartha walked through the lanes of the town with the luminous forehead, with the eye of a king, with his slim hips.

当悉达多以明亮的额头、国王般的眼睛和纤细的臀部走过城镇的小巷时，爱触动了婆罗门年轻女儿的心。

But where were the Brahmans, where the priests, where the wise men or penitents, who had succeeded in not just knowing this deepest of all knowledge but also to live it?

——但是婆罗门在哪里，祭司在哪里，智者或忏悔者在哪里，他们不仅成功地了解了所有知识中最深刻的知识，而且还实践了它？

Joy leapt in his father's heart for his son who was quick to learn, thirsty for knowledge; he saw him growing up to become great wise man and priest, a prince among the Brahmans.

儿子好学，求知若渴，父亲心中为之欢喜；他看到他成长为伟大的智者和祭司，婆罗门中的王子。

Many young men come to me, and there are also sons of Brahmans among them, but they come in beautiful clothes, they come in fine shoes, they have perfume in their hair and money in their pouches.

许多年轻男子来到我这里，其中也有婆罗门的儿子，但他们穿着漂亮的衣服，穿着漂亮的鞋子，他们的头发上有香水，他们的荷包里有钱。
