20 the belly and its members 肚子和它的器官
in former days, when all a man's limbs did not work together as amicably as they do now, but each had a will and way of its own, the members generally began to find fault with the belly for spending an idle luxurious life, while they were wholly occupied in laboring for its support, and ministering to its wants and pleasure; so they entered into a conspiracy to cut off its supplies for the future;
以前，人的四肢并不是像现在这样友好地合作。它们有各自的意志和行事方式。人体的其他器官指责肚子过着悠闲、奢侈的生活，而它们则为它终日忙碌着，给它吃给它喝，让它快乐。后来，它们密谋要切断对肚子的供应。
the hands were no longer to carry food to the mouth, nor the mouth to receive the food, nor the teeth to chew it.
手不再把食物送到嘴里，嘴不再接受东西，牙齿也不再咀嚼了。
