From historical sources, it is evident that Alexander the Great was indebted to one of his teachers, Aristotle of Stagira. It was the teaching of Aristotle that evoked all the nascent talents of young Alexander and turned him into a great man. Alexander was extremely interested in the secrets of medicine and considered it an art. The medical knowledge he acquired from Aristotle may have saved his life and the lives of his troops on many occasions. If Alexander did not possess medical knowledge and if his everyday life had not been so greatly influenced by medicine, he might never have been able to create his empire.
从历史资料来看，很明显亚历山大大帝 indebted 于他的一位老师，斯塔吉拉的亚里士多德。正是亚里士多德的教导激发了年轻亚历山大大帝所有初露的才华，并将他变成了一位伟大的人物。亚历山大对医学奥秘极为感兴趣，并将其视为一门艺术。他从亚里士多德那里学到的医学知识在许多情况下可能救了他自己和他军队的命。如果亚历山大不具备医学知识，并且如果他的日常生活没有受到医学如此大的影响，他可能永远无法创建他的帝国。
原文中“indebted”表述有误，可能是“ indebted”，正确意思是“感激的、受惠于” ，这里暂且按错误原文翻译，若修正后准确译文为：从历史资料来看，很明显亚历山大大帝受惠于他的一位老师，斯塔吉拉的亚里士多德。正是亚里士多德的教导激发了年轻亚历山大大帝所有初露的才华，并将他变成了一位伟大的人物。亚历山大对医学奥秘极为感兴趣，并将其视为一门艺术。他从亚里士多德那里学到的医学知识在许多情况下可能救了他自己和他军队的命。如果亚历山大不具备医学知识，并且如果他的日常生活没有受到医学如此大的影响，他可能永远无法创建他的帝国。
