we are what we do人がモノ?コト?
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation:
we do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence,
but we rather have those because we have acted rightly;
"these virtues are formed in man by his doing the actions";
we are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit:
"the good of man is a working of the soul
in the way of excellence in a complete life;
... for as it is not one swallow or one fine day that makes a spring,
so it is not one day or a short time that makes a man blessed and happy."
The Story of Philosophy (Will Durant) p74,p76

we are what we repeatedly do
の部分なのですが
直訳すると
「私たちは 私たちが繰り返しすること である。」
what we repeatedly do
私たちが繰り返しすること
例えば、食事や睡眠や歩いたり、
仕事や勉強など・・・
私たちが「こと」である。
私たちが「仕事」である。
ということでしょうか？
人が物事？
うまく解釈でません。
お願いします。
