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，人的四肢并不是像現在這樣友好地合作。它們有各自的意志和行事方式。人體的其他器官指責肚子過著悠閑、奢侈的生活，而它們則為它終日忙碌著，給它吃給它喝，讓它快樂。后來，它們密謀要切斷對肚子的供應。
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，嘴不再接受東西，牙齒也不再咀嚼了。
