But there is also considerable scope for heads of state to behave in accordance with Ecclesiasticus 44:4: “Leaders of the people by their counsels, and by their knowledge of learning meet for the people, wise and eloquent are their instructions.” This is particularly important today, when public discourse in democracies is relentlessly demotic and academic work is increasingly specialized.
但国家首脑仍有很大的余地根据《便西拉智训44:4》（Ecclesiasticus 44:4）行动：“人民领袖之所以为领袖，是因其指引，因其学会满足人民的知识，智慧和雄辩是他们的武器。”如今，民主国家的公共辩论无比接近地气，而学术工作日益专业化，这一点也变得尤其重要。
