     No,the man said, ^“Actually I just heard about it and... ”

     “All right,^” said Socrates. ^“ So you don't really know 49 it’s true. Now let’s try the 50 tiiter,the iilter of goodness. Is what you are going to tell me about my friend 51 good?”

     “No,on the contrary (恰恰相反) . ” 

     “So, ”Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something 52 about him,but you're not certain if it s true. You may still pass the test though, 53 there's onHil^r left: the filter of 54 . Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?”
