Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature / Мисъл на Хипократ
Bulgarian term or phrase: И едва тогава може да му се помогне.
Това е мисъл на Хипократ:
"Ако човек иска да бъде здрав, то първо трябва да бъде попитан дали е готов да се отърве от причините за болестта.
И едва тогава може да му се помогне."
Хипократ
Като цяло ме затруднява превода на последното изречение: "И едва тогава може да му се помогне."
Някак си словореда ми се губи. Може ли да малко помощ, че изгубих дар слово.
Благодаря предварително!
