在大海上,没有城墙、没有边疆、没有坟墓,也没有墓志铭。远离人类世界的海洋拥有神一样的孤独,它无所追忆,因而没有历史;它保留着原始的“自然状态”和力量,从来不曾被驯服,也无人能够驯服。陆地可以被奴役,而海洋则保持自由。海洋的自由本性,被格劳修斯借用罗马法语汇描述为:海洋“不是任何人的财产”。 In the sea, there is no wall, no frontier, no grave, no epitaph. The ocean far from the human world has the same loneliness of God, it has no recollection and therefore no history; it preserves the original “state of nature” and strength, never being tamed or tamed. Land can be enslaved, while the sea remains free. The freedom of nature of the sea, described by Grauius in Roman French, is “the sea” “not the property of any man.”
