Yet, in truth, there is no remedy except to throw over the axiom of parallels and to work out a non-Euclidean geometry.

然而，事实上，除了抛开平行公理并计算出非欧几里德几何外， 别无补救。

The classical theorists resemble Euclidean geometers in a non-Euclidean world who, discovering that in experience straight lines apparently parallel often meet, rebuke the lines for not keeping straight-as the only remedy for the unfortunate collisions which are occurring.

古典理论家类似于非欧几里得世界中的欧几里得几何学家，他们发现在经验中看似平行的直线经常相遇，斥责直线不保持直线——这是对正在发生的不幸碰撞的唯一补救措施。
